But I've never needed it, even in the snow. I have minimal insulation and a good sleeping bag.
It does work great at getting rid of dampness.

Len, Do you use that heater in that location? I would think it would super heat the ceiling and more. I use a Mr Heater to preheat the cabin when needed but I remove one of the mattress cushions and place it directly on the floor. Heat can radiate to surrounding furnishings etc and can be dangerous.

I do use it there. I can pull it forward so that the heater face is outside of the cabinet and actually from there I have about 18-19 inches to the ceiling.
This is a very small heater, when its running, you can almost keep your hand on the burner.
I will never sleep with a heater on in the tear but a few minuets before bed and a few minuets before getting out from under the covers makes a big difference. But I really think its best use is for getting out the dampness.
But the best Lo-heat device I've ever used...and it has to be done using some comon sense is a Candle Lantern.
