Anyone ever use a coleman liquid fuel catalytic heater in a canvas tent. I've read about the dangers but what purpose were they for then?
I think I would be a little nervous of sleeping whilst they are in use. OK in a drafty tent but not one sealed up on purpose or by falling snow. Carbon Monoxide rises so you would need to have a tent with vents high up and a gap at the base to let fresh air in.
From S-Tech:
The density of Carbon Monoxide at 20 °C (68 °C) is 0.96716 which is slightly lighter than the density of air (1.00). However, at 0 °C or 32 °F the density is increased to 1.250 which is much heavier than air.
