I'm looking for recommendations on propane powered tent heaters. Thoughts?

I have one of those "Black Cat" heaters from Coleman.

They market it for tents. I wish I'd paid extra for the auto-ignite model.

I found it burns so mildly it is hard to tell if you even got it lit at first, and it didn't even come close to heating up a van, but I used it for two nights in a tent, and it really did heat it up nicely.

The bad part is the propane bottle hanging from the heater, it makes it kind of heavy to hang from the tent, and the only way I'd use it in a tent is suspended in such a way that the heater can't touch anything.

So I used a long adapter hose and a bbq tank, worked great.

I have a one man Eureka tent that is small enough that a candle lantern heats it up some.

Good luck.
