Camping in cold weather has long become a fad for campers who are into the added thrill and excitement. Some are simply just camping addicts who couldn’t wait for winter to be over to go camping again.
To make life easier and more convenient for those who choose to go camping in cold weather, camping gear manufacturers have designed and created line of camping heaters for tent that will provide campers with the necessary warmth and comfort they need to get some good rest or to ensure that they have a terrific time doing camp activities.
Coleman, a leading camping gear manufacturer, is one of those who have released a line of catalytic heaters that are guaranteed safe to be used in enclosed areas such as inside the tent. These heaters are specifically made to offer flameless warmth inside tents, or for car camping when things get too cold for comfort.
The BlackCat catalytic heater, one of Coleman’s most widely used camping heaters for tent is very easy to use. Just connect it to a standard propane cylinder and with a push of a button, the heater’s 3,000 BTU of radiant heat will flow from the Coleman BlackCat and into your tent. This small sized heater is so powerful, it can a warm a tent that is sized for six to ten men.
We all know that gas lanterns and candles are out of the question when heating inside the tent. These are dangerous to use in enclosed areas for they may start a fire. However, even though the
is guaranteed safe to use inside a tent, it does mean you can nonchalant and careless when you use it. Remember, it takes utmost care and caution to ensure the safety of camping heaters for tent.
When you use your

,
be sure to keep it away from materials that are easily flammable like pieces of clothing or cigars. As much as possible, keep everything at least two feet away and give at least six square inches of ventilation.
Even though BlackCat does not have an open flame that can instantly set things on fire, that does not mean it can never ever cause a fire. Don’t put anything too close to the heater for this can melt things. It is recommended to place the camping heater for tent on top of a cooler so it is safely off the floor of the tent.
If you intend to sleep with the heater on, be sure that you ’re not anywhere near it. Be sure that you won’t roll over the heater or have skin come in contact with it and cause you a burn. It is actually better if you heat up the tent and turn off the heater just before you sleep and turn it back on again when you wake up in the morning.
