I got a gas heater that uses the cannisters - only because our cooker uses them.  I got it off e-bay as the one in Argos is over £50!!!!!!

you can use a canister a day which i think works out expensive, i have a sunncamp parabolic.it fits on the top of a 907 bottle. this suits me as my tents are big ,without a SIG. a lot on here favour a black cat heater

I have a Blackcat heater and it works very well. However, it is a small heater, for IMHO occasional usage in a small to medium sized tent.

If this is heating all through the winter some big dome I would want something else, probably some electric driven device.

Hi Hellen

If you are doing EHU then I can recommend a fan heater. Mine was a tenner in Homebase. It is not too noisy and has 2 heat settings, neither of which will exceed the ampage on a British site.

Heaters?

Whatever next?

TV?

we have a fairly large tent and we use a eletric fan heater which heats the tent really quickly and of course it makes a big difference having a SIG.

taken all your good good advice on board

went to homebase and bought fan heater for tenner

Will be trying the new tent out this weekend ...if it arrives it has the luxury of SIG and now with the fan heater I can maybe coax the OH into coming

If not im gonna be calling on some help to pitch me tent

3 kids and me is not gonna get  a new tent up!!!

ALSO IN HOMEBASE THEY HAD A SMALL ELECTRIC TABLETOP PATIO HEATER HALF PRICE FOR £15 I WAS TEMPTED BUT DIDNT
