Well that may well be, but for my personal preference I'd take a smoother wife than a fuzzy hubby.Teresa wrote:Husbands work better than wives for heaters. They're usually fuzzier.

Personally, I would never take a space heater into a tent or truck cap. Too many people have died in their sleep from poisoning. It is forbidden in Boy Scout policy because of deaths (yes, I’m a leader). If you must have a heater please read:

I have a Coleman tent heater that ran me about 70 bucks and I must say that it was the BIGGEST waste of 70 bucks I have ever seen.
Yep, it will raise the inside temp of your tent...about 5 degrees. In my case (in a BIG tent) it took about an hour. Plus you can't sleep with it on. So, five minutes after turning it off, it's cold as hell inside your tent again, so why bother?

I find 2 of the Coleman SportCats will keep my 8 ft X 10 ft tent nicely warm in weather right at freezing with wind. When I sleep I turn one off, leaving just one on while sleeping. But, yes, it is not going to heat a tent instantly.

It says that this is a 10,000 BTU/hr heater, propane contains 22,000 BTU per pound. So while they show this with a 1 pound propane cartridge, it seems that that would last only about 2 hours.
