Hey Stratos,
I got one of the Coleman Pro Cats and its works okay. They do not like to get wet when lit, and if wet before lighting you'll have a tough time firing it up. I live in Etown Ky, don't use my Pro Cat much, so if you want to borrow it for a couple weeks to try it before making a buy decision, just email me at [email protected], or cell 270-735-7814. The Mr Heater's are high, but work well, thrown more heat, and check out Tractor Supply Company as that's were I got the best price on one. There are similar types of heatersa like the Mr Heater, differnet brand name, but same principle, and work just as well. To increase wind resistance, make a larger wind deflector out of sheet metal, and pop rivet to the existing shield/heat refelctor. Experimanet with size.
