Rick W Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thinking of getting a canvas tent at some point. If we do then the family will have to be accommodated in it. I can imagine they would be a little on the chilly side. What do people do to heat their tents safely without any risk of CO poisoning etc?

0 GoranWC51 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I bought a kerosene heater and I've used that for several years. Burns about a gallon (4 liters) of kerosene during a full night. On the plus side is the possibility to use the top of the heater as a cooker. The heater automatically shuts off if you knock it over by accident. I payed about 70€ for mine: You CAN paint it Olive Drab if you want to add a bit of WW2 feel to it... Goran N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Enigma Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 During last years tour in the Netherlands Jim Clark had a wood burning potbelly stove in his tent. Worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 cripp Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Pot belly stove works very well. Even a few small bits of wood throws out a lot of heat. Also use tilly/coleman lamps, they warm a tent up really quick. Have one of these too. Plenty of choice, plus a nice warm down filled sleeping bag.
