Camping in winter can be very discouraging, however, going along with your sleeping bag, sleeping pad, 3 or 4 season type of tent and clothing layers for winter, will make it enjoyable.

But you will agree with me that additional protection of a tent heater is as well necessary for better comfort. Tent heater comes with different types such as the propane, kerosene and electric tent heater which are discuss further below.

Tent Heater Reviews

Kerosene Tent Heater

Kerosene Tent Heater generates much heat and does not leak, and kerosene is safer to store and use. However, it generates much emission, thereby causing pollution to the environment.

Based on reviews, the best of best Kerosene Tent Heater includes:

Mr. Heater Buddy kerosene heater

It is well designed to provide warmth, even before the face of snow. And it offers comfortability and with just shirt sleeves.

Dura heat kerosene heater

It is very nice and easy to use. It generates a good amount of heat to combat the cold. However it is not easy to adjust. And it is advisable to replace the siphon included in the package with a better funnel of greater efficiency and efficacy.

Propane Tent heater

Propane produces lesser emissions thereby making it okay for the environment and easy to use. However you can’t be careless when using propane tent heater, for instance, leaking propane gas tank can cause explosion, thereby leading to a catastrophic event.

And is much cheaper than kerosene, however, it all depends on the Btu (British thermal unit), you will be consuming.

Based on reviews, the best propane heater includes:

Zodi Outbreak Gear X-40 Tent heater

This is great for you, if getting warm and safe is your concern. However, it is a bit heavy and if you won’t mind the weight, it is one of the best tent heaters around, well designed to withstand worst of temperature with additional 12 volts power.

Mr. Heater portable Buddy MH9BX

I will recommend this for everyone- it is well designed to make you feel comfortable even at -8oF temperature with just a light jacket on. It can be used, both indoor and outdoor and it is relatively cheap compare to Zodi.

Precautionary measures to imbibe when using Kerosene and Propane Tent Heater

These are the necessary precautionary measures to imbibe when using the kerosene and propane tent heater:

  • Ensure there is nothing around to fall on the winter
  • Ensure you lift it off the ground with Rubbermaid containers or a cooler, thus; prevent the melting of bottom tent.
  • Keep your windows open a bit for inlet of fresh air.
  • Don’t use heater while sleeping
  • Don’t keep it close to kids or pets.
  • Lastly, ensure you read the manual instructions carefully.

In conclusion, if Propane and Kerosene tent heater sounds too risky for you, subscribe to Electric tent heater, provided there is availability of electric power supply in your camp.

Furthermore, these tent heaters are readily available at local and online stores.
