Coleman Heater5
Loved the performance of the heater. Easy to use and kept us warm all night.

OK, not great2
We purchased the heater while camping at high altitude in a pop-top camper when the temperature started reaching near-freezing a night. It is compact, easy to light and small enough to fit into small tents and/or spaces. But it was not adequate for the space in the Coleman camper.
It did take the edge off the cold, perhaps warming the interior 5 degrees or so, but never made the camper warm. We still required warm clothing and even a blanket around our knees/laps if we wanted to be able to sit up and read or talk.
It would probably work better for a small tent, but it simply does not put out much heat. You can warm your hands over it, if you are careful.
Next time I would purchase something with a higher BTU output.

Camp Heater3
For the most part, the heater was easy to use, it did go for about 14 hours on one propane tank and was easy to light. It also stood sturdy on its own inside the tent BUT I did not think that it had heated my tent enough. We were still cold.
