Also no chance that when you pass out from CO poisoning- no-one to
wake you up. Buy a good explosive gas/CO detector. Cost $40 & could
save your life. [since you'll be using this during power outages, be
sure to get one with at least battery backup]

And before you install it, see what the codes are where you live.
In my area, you can't have gas space heaters in rooms where people
sleep, and there are strict BTU/square foot restrictions.

You might want to break the code at your peril-- but your gas supplier
won't.

My question is about calibrating the two thermostats..How to do this so

they
both share the heating load? The C-Glow has a mechanical thermostat
built-in
I'm sure(have'nt opened box yet)so should I move the furnaces'
thermostat to
near the C-Glow? Or just try to calibrate with the respective settings?

I doubt you'll get them to work together. If it is possible to add
another thermostat, get a setback thermostat for your space heater.
Otherwise, you'll have it trying to heat the whole house when your
furnace gets setback at night.
