Yes
... although I doubt that makes it any more clear for most members.

Information is good. Lack of information is not so good, but misinformation is much worse. Check facts, and apply common sense liberally.

And yet we say, I drive at 60 miles/kilometers per hour, not at 60 miles/kilometers.

Good call Alan, The older gravity furnaces are not as efficient, but they are simple and can provide enough heat for three season camping. If you don't camp in the winter, why have a furnace with noisy fans and large electrical demands?

I camp in the winter and have fan-forced heat by way of having added a self-power-generating Ecofan to the top of my catalytic heater.
And it's stone quiet, too!

I found that our sailboat's hull speed of ~8 knots was often stifled by bucking against a 7 knot current.
Sure glad we don't have to recalculate that 2 amp draw with tide charts!

Right Lora, because miles and kilometres are units of distance, so "per hour" is needed to make a unit of speed; in contrast, " knot" is already a unit of speed by itself, so no "per hour" is added.
Glenn, this is why I said the knot example wouldn't help most members understand (it just confuses them further)... because they don't already know that a "nautical mile" is the unit of distance while a "knot" is a unit of speed, equal to one nautical mile per hour.

No-
It's a catalytic heater. I took the Duo therm out and gave it to Randy Bishop...it worked all right for three-season camping but it wasn't quite up to the job for winter.
