I didn't have any design or function problems with my unit, at all. It worked fine right out of the box. For my purpose (heating a tent or a small bedroom in case of a power outage), I'd buy it again (and the price is right). BTW, the Winter temps in northwest WA are usually pretty mild at sea level, so although the 1500 BTU output isn't much, it is all I need. The very first time I lit my unit, I was puzzled why it took 5 or 6 clicks of the insta-start spark to light it, even though Coleman predicts this in their instructions. By telling you to start clicking the spark right after opening the valve, I suspect Coleman is making sure you don't let a large amount of propane build up before you hit the button. In other words, I suspect it takes the same amount of time to click the starter 5 or 6 times as for the unit to build up enough propane to light. When it does, there is a small poof of blue and yellow flame. True, if you waited a few minutes after you open the...

I purchased this unit to use in my deer stand in Minnesota this November. Overall I was pleased. The unit did smell terribly at first. I would strongly suggest burning a canister in the outdoors before you actually go out and use it in a tent or any enclosed area to burn off the smell. On a windy day it did take a little bit of effort to start but on the norm it started nicely. Once started the unit put off heat and stayed lit no matter in the wind or not. Being that I was using it in an open area, not enclosed, I probably could have used a bit more BTU's. I later used it in an enclosed area and was impressed with the warmth it provided. I was impressed by the fact that it is extremely quiet, portable, easy to start, and efficient.

Good design, sturdy construction, works great...but it really was not adequate for keeping a large tent warm. At best, it took the edge off the cold-32degs at 7,000'. My fault for buying a unit that was too small...but thought the rest of you might appreciate the advice. The formula for calculating how big of a heater you need is the volume of your tent (LxWxH) x 4. A better insulated space might have a multiplier of 3, or even 2. We camp in a nice 10x10 Eureka tent, tall enough to stand up in--and I should have got at least a 3000-4000btu heater. Although I haven't tried it, this unit would probably be adequate to warm a car, or maybe a truck camper shell, or a smaller tent. Happy camping!

ReformTech receives 4.8 million SEK grant from FFI to develop environmentally ...
Jul 04, 2011 |The grant is for a joint R&D-project to develop an environmental friendly catalytic heater for compartment heating, engine pre-heating and battery pre-heating in trucks and passenger cars. The project is conducted in close cooperation with Scania, Volvo Car Corporation, Saab Automobile and the Royal Institute of Technology.
- It is very gratifying to get the grant from FFI and the close cooperation with Scania, Volvo Car Corporation, Saab Automobile and the Royal Institute of Technology. The grant will help us to further expand and customize our technology platform together with some key Customers. It will also enable us to recruit more personnel and to increase the rate of our expansion. The worldwide market interest for our technology and products is rapidly increasing and the grant help us to actively participate in the on-going industry shift towards more environmental friendly energy- and propulsion systems, says Daniel Hagström, CEO ReformTech.
The heater’s catalytic combustion yields significantly lower emissions (nitrogen oxides, particulates and carbon monoxide) while increasing efficiency and emissions of carbon dioxide, and is compatible with CO2-neutral fuels (bio-diesel, ethanol, methanol etc.). The project will develop and test a heater to fulfill customer demands for the vehicle market, and establishes strategically important cooperation to customers, production partners & aftermarket partners.

Is a catalytic heater safe to use indoors ?
Sep 30, 2008 by TerryI am going camping in my fifth wheel this weekend and it gets pretty cool at night. I am wondering if a catalytic heater(uses propane) will be safe to use. On the box it states it is safe to use indoors for home emergencies , ice fishing, etc,But will it be safe in a small enclosed area? I realize a window will need to be open for fresh air.
Anything that produces heat energy burns oxygen, especially something that has a flame (your catalytic heater DOES though you may not see it). As a result, there is Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide to be concerned about and Ventilation is a Key element for using one.
Don't just keep one vent open... but afford cross-ventilation. It will still keep the area warm and I would suggest having it located where you won't roll over onto it or toss part of a sleeping bag onto it. I hung mine from the center support of the tent about 3 feet down from the top... it warmed the roof but didn't make it hot and I used wire to secure it (cord may burn).

Who still uses a Coleman fuel catalytic heater for camping?
Dec 22, 2008 by boboDoes anyone still use a COLEMAN catalytic heater that burns Coleman Liquid fuel (not propane) for camping? Do you use it in a tent? How much ventilation do you provide in the tent? I'm a little worried about Carbon Monoxide if I use it in the tent.
Liquid Coleman fuel; Heater, not a cooking stove. It has a catalytic dome that glows red and provides heat. I used it in a garage with a carbon monoxide detector and the detector registered zero. I know it uses up oxygen.

Don't use this in a tent unless you have all the vents open to the tent. They are not very efficient heating devices in really cold weather in a tent. I've heard of several people who have died using those type of heaters in tents without adequate ventilation.
What i've done in the past is bought a gas powered generator and i used quartz radiant heaters when i was out camping in the mountains in the snow and sub zero temperatures.
These days i use a battery i removed from a bulldozer and use quartz heaters. Works really good for 2-3 days then i just hook up some cables to my truck battery start up and recharge the large battery for about 30 minutes every 2 or 3 days.
