Who still uses a Coleman fuel catalytic heater for camping?

Does anyone still use a COLEMAN catalytic heater that burns Coleman Liquid fuel (not propane) for camping? Do you use it in a tent? How much ventilation do you provide in the tent? I’m a little worried about Carbon Monoxide if I use it in the tent.
Liquid Coleman fuel; Heater, not a cooking stove. It has a catalytic dome that glows red and provides heat. I used it in a garage with a carbon monoxide detector and the detector registered zero. I know it uses up oxygen.

    EDIT: Wait, I thought you were talking about the liquid fuel coleman stoves thingies.

    Ignore what I said.

    Bad idea to have open flame (or enclosed open flame) in a tent, especially if you are sleeping and you can knock it over.

    Don’t use this in a tent unless you have all the vents open to the tent. They are not very efficient heating devices in really cold weather in a tent. I’ve heard of several people who have died using those type of heaters in tents without adequate ventilation.

    What i’ve done in the past is bought a gas powered generator and i used quartz radiant heaters when i was out camping in the mountains in the snow and sub zero temperatures.

    These days i use a battery i removed from a bulldozer and use quartz heaters. Works really good for 2-3 days then i just hook up some cables to my truck battery start up and recharge the large battery for about 30 minutes every 2 or 3 days.

    that’s a no no
    use the heat thingies for your hands and get a good sleeping bag rated below 0
