Coleman is offering their "BlackCat" and "PowerCat" portable catalytic
heaters which are presumably safe for indoor use including tents and vans
without special venting.  Has anyone had any experience with them?  They
are considerably cheaper than any alternatives I've seen.  Check out
http://www.coleman.com and other camping gear websites.
