Yeah Millets do the black cat. Stick it in the search option to read the black cat reviews,they are a fairly mixed bag.

Kinda think they last for two or 3 evenings on full blast.
Both myself and the other half have been burnt on em (in exactly the same place - right wrist) a year apart, So take care with them


(yes a few beers involved - but not too many...)

We love our Black Cat - warms up the tent a treat. yes you have to be careful with it, but then that's no different to any other form of heating (except perhaps a fan heater). Not sure about how long the cartridges last, never really timed them - I'd definitely recommend them.

Same as previous comments, wouldn't be without ours. Cannisters seem to last forever as we only ever use it for half an hour or so at a time. We have a large tent and the black cat gives us plenty of heat. The were on offer at GO OUTDOORS a couple of weks back so may be checking now.

yes go outdoors do them saw them yesterday, can't remember how much they were. We use ours a lot, but just be careful when putting them on as it 'flashes' when you ignite, but after that there is no flame.

thanks folks for the info , think will be getting one on the basis of all your recommendations.  Not really wanting to go down ehu avenue ( pride) i guess. But think it will help us extend our camping season with the kids.  Now just got to fine the best/cheapest gas for it. Any suggestions again folks?

appreciated
