I know... another Blackcat heater post..but

Thanks,

Thats good to hear!

Did it take long for smell to go?

Its a fab little unit, and we always use plenty ventilation, but it does stink quite bad at moment, so really looking fwd to getting rid of smell.

As I'm refilling cylinders, would be quite happy to leave on in shed for a couple of nights if its going to rid smell?

After we used the first bottle of gas the smell was gone. If you use the fan you will not get the smell. Love the Procat in the caravan. One of the best bits of gear we have bought. Find the fan makes it a lot better.
We are refilling cylinders to.

How you managing to refill the bottles I thought that they were disposable?

You need a Mac Coupler from the USA. Can't buy them over here for various ridiculous reasons but they are a great accessory. Contact Julie on juliemik@rvingoutpost.com and she will fix you up.

I presume then that normal gas filling outlets wouldn't refill them? If they do how much are they charging? The bottles are only about $7.00 each

Get a mac coupler on ebay, about $30, do it yourself.

Duncan W you must have to much money and are not sufficiently environmentally green to realise the terrible waste of disposable bottles. Gas contents of the cylinder is less than $1
RVoutpost ignore shipping charge at checkout as Julie only charges the actual postage costs. You can get 2 units airmail for US$11

Works out at roughly $1.40 per refill depending ofcourse what you pay for your 9kg bottle refill. , you get about 11 refills per 9gk bottle compared to buying 11 disposables for $75 odd ,

SARocks, a) didn't know you could refill the bottles, and b) didn't know there was an option.

No I do not have money to burn and do espouse to recycling wherever possible.

Interesting that you guys are talking about, potentially illegal gas filling, when in a previous thread regarding filling smaller bottles from larger bottles the consensus was that it shouldn't be done, due to the inadequate pressures in 9Kg bottles??????????

Has anybody looked at getting an adapter fitting to allow the burner to be run of a conventional gas bottle?

Illegal ?? no , inadequate pressure also no , all one has to do is chill the smaller and invert the larger , as for a hose , they are available but become impractable due to the nature of the Coleman system which main points are general portability due to the "disposable" gas canister ,

Duncan,
I have been using the hose adapter for the last few nights. While the canister makes it more portable and compact, the use of the hose and a 4kg bottle means much longer run times. I also found that the canister was "dewing" up a lot which creates large puddles of water.

The larger bottle did not do this. Horses for courses I guess and for me each will have a place.
