I own one, though I have not had to use it (thank God). My former boss has a
two burner one which he uses on the jobsite now and again. Really great
gadget. They do give off combustion products, so use them briefly not every
day. They oughta have a vent, but are made for job sites, and places which
are drafty.

Propane never "yellows" like kero. And stores forever, unless the tank
leaks.

I've also used kerosene heaters, w hich I really like.

I would like to get some kind of auxillary heater that is portable, and
doesn't require a vent.
In the Northern Tool catalog, there is something called a "Big Buddy"
that will run on a 20 lb tank.
I am three telephone poles from the road, through the trees in my new
place, and I think some kind of backup might be a good idea. I would
probably use it also as an additional heat source in my shop, which is
part of a three car garage.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the "Mr. Heater"
products, or possibly, a better idea.

Thanks,

Frank
