Mr Heater

[Illini Trekker]

I know its been talked about in the past but your thought about Mr Heaters. I work camp in east Central Illinois. Do you like those heaters or would ceramic type work better? Thinking about safety I would not use either at night and am not to worried about tip over as I have no pet or kids around. The consent heat and 100% efficient looks like a good source of energy?

Mr Heater is a propane heater and should not be used inside. Besides using up the oxygen we all need to survive it will also leave carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas, behind. Using a Mr Heater inside is like committing suicide.
YES we all have CO detectors and hopefully it will work but until it does you will be breathing in a colorless, odorless gas that can be fatal to human beings if inhaled.

Thanks Glenn I have looked over the manufactures site and the heater may be used with window or sealing vent. I would never use at night and depend on a detector to alert me of a hazard.

Please don't take a chance on using the propane heater inside. Its not worth the risk.
We use a radiator style, oil filled heater available from WalMart that does an excellent job.
