Coleman Catalytic Heater?

[Tomterrific-TNT]

I'm not sure how old these are but does anyone have experience with the white gas Coleman catalytic heater? I think one of these will be nice to burn under our pop-up canopy when it is cold. There are a few on craigslist.

Thanks,
Tt

That would be an ideal application for one.

Dont use it inside any camper unless you have some windows open due to carbon monoxide.

They are bog simple to use (fill with fuel, use the little bottle to spread an x or spiral pattern on the dome, light and enjoy! When you buy one be sure to get the little bottle that you use to spread fuel on the catalyst and the snuffer dome (silver cap with a handle when you open the top))

I would not feel comfortable sleeping over fire. To many things can go wrong. I can see setting it inside before going to bed to warm up the inside, then off it goes when I go to sleep. When we were kids, my parents put the Coleman lantern inside our old canvas tent to warm it up before we came in to go to bed. But it was turned off and left on the picnic table till morning.
