Coleman heater
I have had this little heater for over one year. The first time I used it was in a tent trailer and it was a bad experience.
The heater stunk the whole trailer with a strong pungent oil odor. The trailer was cold to begin with and I had to open the door and windows to air it out. Some camping friends with experience with these type of heaters explained you needed to burn off the oil residue in the heater to get rid of the odor. I burned one 16oz can on the heater outdoors overnight and this got rid of the oil odor. My advise with this heater is to try it out first at home in the garage or another outside building and break it in before taking it with you on a camping outing.
Aside from this initial bad experience, this is a great little portable heater that suits my camping needs.
Best little heater for ice fishing!
I bought this heater to put into my portable one man ice shelter. It's great. I've fished when it's -20 outside, but kept it a nice 32F inside. It takes up no room, it's a snap to use, and love the idea of not having the open flame.

Small heater puts out alot of heat. I have been using it for several months to knock the chill off in my hunting stand (a shooting house). Lights quickly and and is very silent. Initially had a new burning scent until the factory oils from manufacturing burned off, but is now very clean burning.
