Using a Heater in a Tent

"Get a Heater for your Tent"
Some words from the tipster:
I would never have thought to get a heater for a small tent before. The whole idea seems too dangerous and too cumbersome, and not worth the effort.
But recently, while I was sharing a tent with a friend, they were using a "Coleman Black Cat" heater. I was well impressed. It was very quiet and there was no flame. I'm still not sure about how safe it was, though. You need to be very careful with it because it is still, obviously, very hot.
It made me realise that it is possible to get a small heater for a small tent, and it is even JUST about possible to backpack with it, given the size and weight (a small heater and a gas cartridge is probably about the same volume and weight as a tent).
You'd have to REALLY appreciate a bit of warmth at the end of the day in order to find carrying it around worthwhile, though! And the gas won't last long. And of course you'd need to be careful with ventilation.
Having a warm tent for an hour or so at the end of a day was a great experience, though!
