Default Coleman Powermatic catalytic heater

A few years ago--5 or 6--I bought the above heater. The type that sits on the 4
gallon barbecue style tank.

It's been fine until today. Today, it stunk me out of the shop, smelling almost
as bad as kerosene.

I'd guess the catalytic screen is worn out, or nearly so, as it doesn't seem to
be throwing as much heat, either.

Tried the Coleman site to see about getting a new screen, but can find zip
about that heater or any similar on-tank heater, and didn't have much luck
elsewhere on the site.

Anyone with any idea of where I might get a replacement screen?
