I have this model and the one which is a little smaller. My Brother has the Black Cat and that unit gives off little heat. My small unit gives off more heat then the black cat.tammie wrote:it doesn't usually get below 15 degrees or so here in texas but I love this little heater in my sorta drafty tower stand I just always take a small bottle of propane in my backpack.the hose for a bigger tank is pretty reasonable too
Remember that if your using the larger tanks (5-20 lbs) with a connecting hose, USE AN INLINE FUEL FILTER. Fuels from these larger tanks are dirty and can clog up the fuel systems of your heater limiting what heat is available (this is what I believe happened to my brothers Black Cat).
Hope this helps.
