Everything here is general information about camping gear, not a substitute for the manual that came with your equipment. Anything that burns fuel, including stoves, lanterns, heaters and fire pits, belongs outside the tent unless the maker publishes a rating for enclosed use, so follow the clearance and ventilation instructions and carry a working carbon monoxide alarm.
