can this be used inside a tent for heat?

I would not recommend any stove, including this one, be used inside a tent for warmth. There is a large flame generated.

The stove will get very hot when using it so I wouldn't recommend using it for this purpose.

Absolutely not. The open flame would present an extreme hazard of your tent catching fire, and any incomplete combustion would produce carbon monoxide gas that could kill you.

NO..You cannot!!! This stove is purposely created to be used as an OUTDOOR stove meaning in needs ventilation to properly work (Lots of it). If your'e looking for an Indoor stove then this is not the stove you're looking for to use. You'll an indoor stove that doubles as a cooking stove as well as a heater and they're available but they're too heavy and bulky. And I don't know if it's practical lugging all that weight just to go camping unless it's in the middle of winter or you're in a Expedition in the Antarctic or Greenland...

I would not use any device that has an open flame or consumes oxygen in my tent so I would not recommend it.

Yes, this heater is perfect for small enclosed areas, like tents and such. As long as there's access to power outlets. However, don't expect it to do much if you're trying to heat an uninsulated two car garage and such.

If u have a small tent than yes. The Mr HEATER sits firmly on a flat surface but u won't always get a flat floor surface in tent camping. I used mine in a tent and put it on a small metal table. It didn't heat up the table.... but it certainly warmed up the tent!

I don't think so. You could probably put an LED lantern on the ground. It's a small tent. I would not use any type of lantern that gets hot.

Should be okay. That's the beauty of catalytic heat; it requires little oxygen and produces little CO. I have used it in tents, boats, etc. with no problems. Just don't put it close to anything combustible; it does get very hot.

Yes I don't see why not. When I first received the tent I set it up in my basement prior to my camping trip to make sure all items where includes and tent was ready. Stood up in the basement with no issue. As long as you have the room for it!

No but I know they sell stuff like that on amazon for tents. I got a light to put in the center of my tent in the inside and I got 2 small fans that you can plug in or run out off batteries. I got this tent and then I watched YouTube to see what other people do to keep the inside of the tent cool during hot days.

I don't know why not. It generates a little heat and needs ventilation for the fan, so don't trim tight to it. We have it in a small clothes closet in our motorhome.

Yes, this is a great choice! Like anything that creates heat it gets hot so act accordingly. I advise letting it run thru an entire tank to burn off all the oils before using inside a tent.

yes it can, we have used it on our gas stove in our trailer, on low to med heat

HiNot so sure a heating pad would work as the bottom is sort of a rubber type material. Maybe if it was layered under a blanket. I think it would hold heat pretty well

Yes it would, but I'd be cautious about putting it into a camper. It's set for outside heating, and inside it could get too hot. it doesnt have a sensor on it to detect if things are getting too hot so if you left it on overnight you might get a fire.....

Sorry for the dely in responding. No, I would not use any natural gas, propane, kerosene or other open flame type heater in a tent. The open flames burn up the oxygen in the air and emit carbon monoxide which is deadly in a closed space.

That would be a VERY bad idea. The floor of the tent is really nothing more than a medium duty tarp. The walls are a very light nylon and, I am assuming by the look and feel, fairly flammable. I wouldn't recommend it.

Definitely. It's very small when packed up. Perfect for a bug out bag. I would recommend getting a tarp with some paracord to make a sun block. The sun will absolutly cook you in that tent. Very little ventilation.

I would say no. I believe it's not to be used in confined spaces. That's why we returned it, we wanted to use it in our tent.

The bottom of the heater stays cool but I would make sure the air flow is clear both intake and output. It also would potentially burn you if you touch the top where the air comes out. Although I use my unattended in my basement, I would neither keep on in a tent where is it closer to flammable materials not ever attended. I am sure it is not made for that purpose so caution is absolutely necessary.
