"This heater was used in my hunting camp this year, and I found it far exceeded my expectations and hopes! It proved more than sufficient to heat a 10x10x5x8 foot canvas tent in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan with below 35 degree day and 20 degree nights. We ran it on the lowest setting all the time, approximately 12 hours a day and used about 3/4 of a 20lb propane tank in 5 days! That is efficient to say the least...
I found the heat vent area actually released the heat more out than up, which was an unexpected and welcome feature. This allowed me to actually use the area above the unit to dry gloves and boots without worry of drying out leather or burning microfiber or fleece or damaging gortex linings with too high a heat.
The only con I have to relate about this unit, was that the oxygen depletion sensor was a little too sensitive and did shut off the unit even when only the pilot was burning. The fact this was used in a tent, with more than sufficeint ventilation, means this is unit has been set to err on the side of safety rather than consistant performance.
I would, will and have recommended this item to 4 friends in the last 2 weeks. I also have a Mr Heater Big Buddy and find this does a better job, uses less fuel, is significantly more quiet and more pleasant to look at in any setting. This would make a great addition to any garage, den or (as I use it) in a tent. Don't even think of not buying one of these or any of this brand of heater, of course matched to your area that needs clean, quiet and cost effective heat."
