We have two Coleman ProCat catalytic heater that gives the equivalent of a
1kw electric heater. Runs for approximately 16 hours on 1kg of bottled LPG.
Normally have around 32kg of bottled gas on hand. While we don't live in
the Alpine country, we work there and have need to have emergency heating on
hand. Found the ProCat to be great. Do not use the disgusting environmental
vandalism disposable Coleman gas containers.
For an outdoors company, Coleman must rate as one of Americas top ten
environmental vandalism companies.
