Mr. Heater Indoor Portable Propane Heater Deluxe Kit MH9BX, 9,000 BTU

Purchased this heater for an October tent camping trip where temperatures were expected to drop into the upper 30's. I was very skeptical about using a propane heater in the tent due to carbon monoxide poisoning. When a retired fire department captain told me he uses the heater inside his tent, I took his word and felt safe using the heater inside our tent. After all, I figured he would be the one to know! Well, temperatures dropped to 34 degrees and with the heater on low, the tent was a nice and comfortable 51 degrees. We were a little short of propane so we just ran it on low, which required me to change the tank at 4:00 AM! After changing the tank, I cranked the heater up to high and the tent warmed to about 60 degrees! The heater is very quiet and there is no odor what so ever. In addition, the glow from the heater provides a nice little nightlight! I would strongly recommend purchasing a hose adapter and getting a 20-pound propane tank to place outside the tent because waking up to a cold heater at 4:00 AM to replace the one-pound tank is no fun!

I have had some really horribkle tent heaters over the years, and frankly not a single one worked. Most recently the Coleman Black Cat. The buddy extremely reliable, safe and generally on low will take care of any tent heat needs. Uses 1/4 the fuel of the Black Cat and puts out 4X the heat...Dont look at any other tent heaters, pick up the buddy and a small, bulk propane tank for those chillier camping trips.
