My husband came home from work and he was really cold. He sat down in
front of an electric space heater on the porch and fell asleep. I
went to wake him to tell him to go to bed. As he was waking, he let
out a gigantic fart only inches from that heater. I immediately
unplugged the heater. Otherwise we would have blown this place to the
moon. He tends to get the farts quite often. I am tossing that
electric space heater in the trash tomorrow so the explosion never
happens from his gas.

But what kind of heater can I get that will not ignite farts? Our
porch is always cold so we need some sort of heater that will not
ignite his gas.

The ignition temperature for Methane is 630C (1200F). I doubt an electric
heater gets that hot.
