Who still uses a Coleman fuel catalytic heater for camping?
Dec 22, 2008 by bobo | Posted in Camping
Does anyone still use a COLEMAN catalytic heater that burns Coleman Translucent fuel (not propane) for camping? Do you use it in a tent? How much ventilation do you care for in the tent? I'm a little worried about Carbon Monoxide if I use it in the tent.
Flowing Coleman fuel; Heater, not a cooking stove. It has a catalytic dome that glows red and provides intensity. I used it in a garage with a carbon monoxide detector and the detector registered zero. I be versed it uses up oxygen.
Don't use this in a tent unless you have all the vents responsive to the tent. They are not very efficient heating devices in exceptionally cold weather in a tent. I've heard of several people who have died using those archetype of heaters in tents without adequate ventilation.
What i've done in the history is bought a gas powered generator and i used quartz dazzling 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 absolutely good for 2-3 days then i just pin up some cables to my truck battery start up and recharge the fat battery for about 30 minutes every 2 or 3 days.

My heater still gets warm, but the blower doesn't blow...It's real cold here! Any ideas?

I've tried turning off the tour breaker, then on.... I've tried turning the power stock off with no luck either. I bought this manufactured home last year, and I don't have the handbook :[ It's a Coleman, Serial Number 098362151 Prototype Number 3400-818. Hopefully this helps too: Result: 60.00 Volts 240 Vac/60/1, Principles KW Amps 16.92/70.5, Max Motor FLA/HP 5.0-1/2, Formal Circuit Amps 75.5, Min. Circuit Ampacity 94, Confines Breaker Amps 100.
Can you tell that this sounds fetching much like a foreign language to me? I copied that auspicious off the heater itself. The blower, which I think is the problem is No. 3400.591.
The heater is warm/hot...but intensity doesn't come out of the vents anymore, so I figured it's as likely as not the blower, but quite possibly something else too!!!
It's uncommonly cold here in Northwestern Washington right now, and beleive it or not, my propane heater is also not working! Thanks for any input you may have!
Ring up the mfg for a book. In the meantime there may be a manual switch . Patent the door and see. It will most likely pull out and push in. One way turns on the blower and the other turns it off. If you get it on this way you must shut in it off when the furnace stops because it will then blow all cold air all thru the vents. Look into your wall thermostat too. MINE is programmable and has batteries behind it for the blower lead.(JUST HAD THE SAME PROBLEM 2 WEEKS AGO WITH MINE) I pondering my furnace blower was gone too. I got lucky. Changed batteries and no problems. If neither of these suggestions don't employment, you probably DO need a blower motor or relay in it. Call repairman for this. You dont have a yen for to blow your home up by doing a wrong fix it job.

Can Propane Heaters Be Used In A Camping Tent?

can a heater like this:

be reach-me-down in a tent if you open a flap for ventilation?
This IS an start the ball rolling flame. The propane burns on a wire screen.
That's too many BTU's in a tent-sized hiatus. I have a Mr. Heater that is similar but it's a 12,000 BTU capacity and works well as large as you don't burn yourself or the tent (the head gets red-hot).
45,000 BTU is more advisedly suited to a 2-3 car garage space. What you show may be mis-labelled as to heating wit.
Even 12,000 BTU is best used intermittently: Close the tent, agitation it up, turn it off and go to bed. In the morning, turn it on for a bit to get dressed, meander it off. Otherwise it's still too much heat. There is NO thermostat on these units and the fire gamble or burn hazard is too great.
