hey all,
i know it is late in the season for this but today i bought a blackcat from
a local sportng goods store because it was half price.  so my questions are
this:  how safe are they for our vans?  i have dogs and kids so i do not
want to keep it on the floor, where is the best spot for it?  i put it on
the closed lid of the stove and within 10 minutes the curtain track/ shelf
was really hot to the tough.  is this safe or what?  coleman says it burns
less then the smoldering point of most falmmables but this is not specific
enough for me, what about carpet, seats, poptop canvas, sleeping bags
etc...?
BTW, it is still cold enough to need these in western montana
