Do not place the H-45 Type I (Solid Fuel) Heater directly on snow, as the heater will quickly melt the snow
and extinguish the fire. Place the heater on a bed of bricks, a sandbox, or a tray during use.
Whether using the H-45 Type I (Solid Fuel) Heater or the H-45 Type II (Liquid Fuel) Heater, make sure
that sufficient fresh air is allowed to enter the tent at all times.
