In emergency situations, what are the guidelines for using "Mr. Heater" indoors? It's a device you attach to a propane tank.
thanx.
check their website...mrheater.com
What model are you going to use to create carbon monoxide?
Keep away from Mr. Gasoline Fumes.
Please don't do it! Life has lots to offer. BUT... if you are set on carbon monoxide poisoning, I'd think that running your car in your garage would be faster and more effective than an indoor heater, given the unpredictability of indoor ventilation.
1. Ventilation ventilation ventilation
2. Don't burn your house down.
3. In the event you burn your house down, disregard rule number 1.
Light, then run.
Oh, wait, that's for fireworks. Never mind.
A minor side effect that is seldom mentioned is that propane releases a LOT of water vapor as a combustion gas. This can result in excessive humidity and even mold growth on surfaces that remain cooler, such as walls behind dressers, etc.
Not of course in the same league as CO or fire as a hazard, though. :)
