Amazon.com Product Description
The Coleman 5053A751 ProCat Portable Catalytic Propane Heater with Electronic Ignition provides consistent heat where no other sources are available without the danger of open flames. Whether you need a backup heater for power outages or want to heat a garage, shop, tent, boat, or ice shanty, this cordless heater for indoor use is ready to go wherever you might need some warmth. Constructed with 3,000 BTU output, the catalytic heater with platinum technology provides flameless heat from a pressure-regulated propane fuel system that produces a steady fuel stream, even in cold weather, at high altitudes, or when fuel is low. The starting mechanism is a fast-acting piezoelectric sparker that ignites the propane in the presence of atmospheric O2. Easy to operate, you simply screw a 16.4-ounce propane cylinder on the back, turn the knob to "on" for a few seconds, and hit the ignition switch. The portable heater moves the heat efficiently with a fan, powered by two D batteries (not included), for better circulation. The Coleman ProCat operates for up to eight hours on 16.4-ounce Coleman propane cylinder. Manufacturer Warranty

 Died in the middle of the night and we froze November 30, 2009
Keith Johnson
I bought this heater as a tent heater for our cabin tent. We went camping in the mountains and pinned our hopes on this bugger to keep us warm. Around 1:00 am the propane ran out. Put in a new one in the "frozen tent" 2:00 am the batteries went dead. Brand new battery's were put in at 10:00 pm. Lasted 4 hours with the fan going. 3:00 am kids woke up frozen and wanted to go home. Put new batteries in and new propane at 3:30 am. Tent still frozen at 5:00 am. Decided to set up wood burner that came with tent even though it had never been used. Expected lots of smoke and choking kids but unbelievably the wood stove did not smoke and heated the tent up to about 70 degrees. Kids and spouse survived. Lesson learned. Do not depend on this Coleman heater to keep your tent warm at night.
Life saver in the Cold California Sierras!! November 10, 2009
Rory Egan (Dana Point, Ca)
I love this heater! Brought this along while tent camping in March in Yosemite Valley. There was still snow around the summits and in some low areas and in the nights the temp dropped into the low 20's and below. With this heater on from bed time till morning, it keep the tent an average of high 50's to mid 60's!! Our tent is a rather large tent too and it worked great (Tent = Sierra Designs, WuHu Annex 6+2)We were comfortable all night when it was on, a full canister lasts about 12-14 hours. Found out by waking up after the second night we used it and it was freezing in the tent. The canister ran out, just popped a new one in and turned it back on and was warmed up again in less than an hour. The built in fan is a very nice feature of this heater vs the other models by coleman, and had much to do with keeping the tent a even temperature. Takes two D batteries and the batteries will last a few days from my experience. Only knocked off a star becuase mine has had an issue with an internal clip coming loose a couple times. This was due in my view to the screen of the heater not being supported more directly by the metal bezel that you see in the photo. The heater screen just kinda floats in the bezel keeping it in place yet able to me jostled if dropped or bumped good. I'm a pretty handy guy and fixed this on my own... But I am confident that this will be in my essentials kit for many years to come and will work anytime I need it thanks to its simple and effective design.
Must note that you need to make sure you have the adequate ventilation if using this in an enclosed area like a tent... I can attest that if you do make sure you have the ventilation, you will be fine and need not to worry. I was worried the first time, but trusted in the facts and went by them.

We recently purchased a large tent (15x12) and needed a propane heater that could stand up to the task of keeping the inside of the tent comfortable on cold nights. We purchased two of the Coleman ProCats for this purpose and they worked absolutely beautifully! I was skeptical at first, preferring to keep warm with multiple sleeping layers, but gave in when my partner insisted. Now that we've used them, we won't camp again without having them with us. The battery operated fan made all the difference in the world when it came to dispersing the heat throughout the entire tent, even though the roof was completely mesh (with the fly elevated about 6" above it). Our heaters ran constantly on high for over 8 hours without giving up. Two hours before turning in for the night, my partner turned them on. By the time we went to bed around 11:00, temperatures outside were in the 30s, while inside the tent, it was comfortable enough to wear t-shirts. By morning, it was a little cooler, but still warm enough to not see your breath - an oddity in the Colorado mountains at 5:00 in the morning, for sure!
As is common sense, ALWAYS light the heaters outdoors or, at the very least, well away from the sides of tents or other flammable material, as they do emit a flame when first ignited.
Simply the best! We love you, Coleman! I've posted a photo from inside our tent.
good little heater May 11, 2009

I;ve owned this little heater for almost 2 years. Mainly use it in a small fiberglass travel trailer (18 footer similar to Scamp). Have used it several times in the mountains at 6,000 to 9,000 ft. with temps dipping to upper 20's. It really takes the chill off. Makes the little trailer seem almost warm though its really only in the lower 50's after running for some time. But heck, that beats a cold 28 degrees. The bottles last about like everyone says. I don't sleep through the night with it running but do turn it on a little while before getting up. Have also used it in a little workshop which was way bigger then my trailer. Did not do much good but it tried. Have probably ran it over 100 hrs with no problems. I like it and would recommend it.
Works better than I thought! May 5, 2009

If it was not for this little wonder, my husband and I would have surely frozen our butts off during our Easter weekend camping trip. I recommended for all serious campers!
