I have a platinum-cat heater and like it. The only disadvantage would
be that it doesn't stash out of the way as much as a propex does.It
has to have some space around it. However it's nice radiant heat and
is stingy in both battery power and propane. Mine was good enough for
about 1-2 weeks of operation in cold winter weather in the -5 to 35ish
range.

A little bit of a home-grown site, but I've dealt with the person who
manufactures them and he was great.
