Subject:Re: Coleman Propane Heaters - what's the proper way?

Hi,

What is the safest/cheapest/easiest way to install an over-night heater?

I bought a Colman propane fueled catalytic heater ($30 or so), and used it
last weekend.   The label on the box claims it is safe for use in tents, or
your house durring a power shortage.  The unit seemed to make a fair amount
of heat, with no noticeable fumes (or headaches, or dizzyness).

My canvas top has a few holes, so ventalation is "built in".

I was mostly afraid of a rogue pillow or sock flopping onto the hot cover
while no one was paying attention.

Thanks,

Dan Brideau
