Can you use inside a tent or would it burn a hole in the floor?

Actually I have yet to use this item. However I would recommend against using any flammable heat source in a tent. The Esbit fuel tabs heat to extreme temps approx. 1200 F so please use caution.

If your tent has a vestibule without a floor, that would be OK, else no, though when weather is bad enough, I've used a Svea inside a tent, on top of an overturned fry pan or such.

NEVER use an open flame inside a tent. The dangers far outweigh the perceived benefits.

Using any stove in a tent poses a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning regardless of whether or not it would burn a hole in the floor!!! But yes, the bottom of the stove gets very hot and it probably would burn a hole in the floor, adding fumes from burning nylon to the carbon monoxide.

Have you lost your Damm Mind.........You can mix Margaritas in your tent, you can smoke weed in your tent if your care full and live in California,Colorado but don't cook in your tent. keep it safe make a sandwich.

I would not use this inside a tent without proper ventilation. What I'd suggest instead is to use it to heat up water, then take that warm bottle and keep between your shirt and jacket.

Just remember that this oven gets very hot and is a danger to anyone coming in contact with it. It would be safer to use it outside with a Coleman camp stove and not use it inside of an enclosed camper. I would not use it inside of our trailer.

I have not used mine in a tent yet but I use it in my Motorhome and do not believe it would be a problem. I have 2 of them now and the unit itself does not get Hot.

You would want some kind of foam or inflate able mattress under it. Concrete floors are what they are... I love this product and used it many times last summer while camping.

No shouldn't be if, you have at least an 8" fan in the tent. They don't put out a lot of heat as you would think...

Yes you can. When we set it up over a stationary picnic table like you would find in a National Forest campground we usually tuck the floor so that we only use half of it. Sometimes we don' use the floor at all. It snaps to the sides at the floor level so you can snap just the ones you want. We think the tent would be great even if you could not afford, or have room to carry, the floor. I do think that it is a boon when you are camping where there is rain or continuously wet ground. There is something very nice about stepping on a dry floor. You can change your wet boots without having to do the hopping around keep your foot off the wet floor dance. Yes you can.

Yes you can use it in a tent but like any heater especially a propane one it will get VERY hot and if you tip it over it WILL catch a tent on fire pretty quick. I have used this in a tent and it did well, but I let it run for awhile to heat up the tent and I turned it off right before I get into my sleeping bag and call it a night. Also like any other propane heater just make sure you have plenty of ventilation in case of possible carbon monoxide.

I suppose you could use this indoors. The difficulty being, this tent requires you to stake it down, in order for the tent stays erect. It doesn't stay up on it's own like a traditional dome tent. I hope that answer helps. :)

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!

I would be reluctant to use in a tent especially if you are planning to leave it on while you sleep.

I would not recommend it in a tent it is not rated for tent use that I noticed.

No, the screen room does not have a floor. I purchased matching blue indoor/outdoor carpet that fits perfect inside that area and, it keeps dirt and sand out of the tent. On a side note...during my last camping trip in March, I had a 40lb tree branch fall on the tent from 40 feet up. Tent held up great! UPDATE: I do not have issues with moisture on the floor or seam lines. Please remember, you need to use some kind of tarp under all tents when camping. This not only protects the floor, but greatly reduces moisture. We camp in weather temps ranging from 40 degrees to 95 degrees (from the deep woods to the beach). We are very happy with this tent.

No! Never use a camp stove indoors. There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Definitely. When you are in a tent put a crack in a window or door always. I have used this heater in a 10' x 10' tent and left on all night in 30 degree weather.For safety I suggest you heat up the tent and then turn off before going to bed. Also be sure there is ample room all around the heater to prevent an accident/fire.

It's made to be used indoors or out. It runs on butane. However, I would not suggest that it be used to heat a tent. You have an open flame and it probably wont produce enough heat anyway.

Yes it can provide warmth from the flame and a hot warm cup of tea or coffee you can be warm inside and out however do not use in a tent or without proper ventilation
