Is this safe to use camping in a tent?

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

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.

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.

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

I've used it over 30 nights and have had no problems with it inside the tent. I'm using it in a 2 person tent (REI Half Dome) with the standard ground cover.

it is kinda heavy for a cover but as long as you keep it out of your mouth and don't use it as a tent for small children it shouldn't be an issue.

I suppose it could. I returned mine because the workmanship on this product is very bad. I don't made anyone would think this could stand up to the rigors of camping where things are constantly banged around.

I would not recommend this for inclement weather or extreme cold temperatures. As for as inside a tent in a mild climate it would be just fine. Hope this answers your question.

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 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.

I think so. I'd lay a blanket down first to protect the tent floor. It's definitely not made for outside use. It's thin nylon and wouldn't provide much protection from the elements. But for outside play during the day I think it would work.

Yes, it could be used in a tent as long as you put something under it to keep the floor from getting too hot, and provided a bit of ventilation. It does not work the way they tell you it will but if you hook it to a pressure regular connected to a five gallon butane tank it works. I would definitely buy another for my deer stand, that is the only way I use it.

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.

Obviously it needs access to an electrical outlet, but otherwise it should work in either. The base provides a strudy foundation such that it would not easily fall over. Although no surface gets real hot, I would exercise care to ensure it is not placed near any tent fabric walls. Also, remember it is rated only at 1500 watts, so it can't heat an overly large or drafty space.

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.

Wait, these were two different answers, I have the same question, can I use it for camping? did you find out?

I am not sure. We did not care for it at all for camping. It collapses as it gets empty.

you do not want to put it inside your tent, you put it under the tent. it works out fine doing this. it would not be good on the tent floor. it really works out great like this.i like to lay around and nap on it sometimes in the afternoon and it might get little mud on the feet. but it does not matter if you put it under the tent.this is the way to go,also it really makes finding a good camping spot easier since it can be a little rough under the cot.also another bennafit is i stopped bringing a ground cloth because this is easy on the tent floor and if it would leak a little it would not matter because the water is not going to run up into my sleeping area. So this saves a little space to compensate for what the cot takes up.
