      Comments about Coleman SportCat Heater:

      We bought this for a Rockies trip in January. Its a nice idea, but it didn't give out much heat at all, and there is the threat of carbon monoxide poisoning when using it inside a tent (or yurt in our case). It was heavy and bulky in the pack (plus the weight and space for the fuel). You also can't use it when you are sleeping. For the weight and space it took up, we could have easily brought extra warmer gear, and we would have made out better.

      Comments about Coleman SportCat Heater:

      I have had the opportunity to use this heater several times cold weather camping. Very easy to use, nice to heat your legs when sitting around in the cold. If you have a small tent, it will raise the temperature by around 20 degrees or so inside, so it is a noticeable difference. It won't be super warm, but it will keep you above freezing for sure.

      If you have a huge tent forget about it, this heater won't do much. Also don't even think about backpacking this around... between the heater itself and the gas you are dealing with some serious weight to your pack.

      Comments about Coleman SportCat Heater:

      I expected the there to be a least some noticeable temperature difference between the outside and inside my tent. There wasn't at all. The only time I felt any heat was when I put my hand six inches above it. NOT a good value.

        Comments about Coleman SportCat Heater:

        Just got it. Have it burn for 30 minutes outside to get rid of the odor. Work perfectly out from the box and the heat is just perfect for what I need. It's a lot smaller and lighter than my Bobcat. I love this heather. Can't wait to use it for camping next month in Utah.
