Hi All,

Have you any views/advise on the portable gas Heaters - the ones which take the gas canisters. As the season is nearing a close - been thinking ahead for early next year, as started very early this year and was a tad bit chilly!!! 

Shouldn't need until then, I hope - as off this w/end.!!.

Many thanks. 

Hi Jo

I have no advise re the canister type but I can reccomend the Coleman Black Cat as an alternative.

i have one that looks like a calor gas fire, takes the small can of gas. only problem is it dont last very long. hour or so a can, on full heat. hope that helps.

I have the Black cat heater
and it doesnt heat our tent as its big
(Vango aspen)


how about the heater element you can get which sits directly on a 907 cylinder? think it kicks out 2.4KW!

Weird ?!

We have the same tent and we find ourselves turning the Blaqckcat down or even off as its too warm ? even my mum ,in her 70's was sweating .Have you thought maybe its faulty ?

Hi,

could I suggest that if you are using an exposed heater you also have a carbon monoxide alarm to prevent any accidents happening?

hi

i use the gas heater's that takes the cannister

works well for us, in both the larger tent, sunncamp tourist and the monty 6

have to turn it down as it does get too warm..

canister lasted for hours on our last trip

but everyone has their own perferences

thanks yvonne

Thank you very much for all replys -  think will be buying one as don't always get EHU - so the fan heater won't always be useful..

Thanks again - have a good w/end, looks like a good one for a change !!- we 're off on fri...
