I grew up in a small town, and our heating was all propane -- with a large gas tank outside that was filled up every week. Problems have happened when, as you said Bruce, people do not take proper precautions. Propane heaters these days pretty much all have oxygen depletion sensors as they have quite a few safety regulations to comply with. ODS systems have been around since the 1950's and since that time, apparently, no death has resulted from a heater with one fitted--which is why, when buying propane heater, you simply buy one that has an ODS fitted.

If you still need a heater, you could check out the MHVFR30LPBT radiant vent free propane heater to see if it fits the bill.

Propane was also used to run our water heaters, shop heaters, barbecues and, in some cases...emergency lighting in our homes. Not one person in a community of several hundred ever suffered a propane related illness during the years that I was resident in that community and served on the local rural volunteer fire department as a fire fighter. We are currently negotiating to purchase a home on Vancouver Island that will have its garage converted to living space that will be heated with propane. We trust that propane is a safe and efficient fuel if proper precautions are taken...much like the use of gasoline in your car, or natural gas in your home. Sincerely, B. Harvey Duncan, BC Bob and Shari,

I have propane heaters but I'll be storing a lot of water inside and need to keep a little heat on. Are there propane heaters with thermostats that do not need electricity?

I think you will find that most propane heaters have automatic features nowadays that will automatically shut off a propane heater if it senses that the carbon monoxide (or oxygen) levels have changed to a degree that they may pose harm. I suggest you research a little more before calling someone an 'idiot'. :D Thanks for your concern Shari.

What safety feature does this heater have that will tell you when the oxygen in your blood has been depleted? Who hired you??? Coleman?? People...please read the internet's warning on using ANY of these heaters in garages, tents, sheds and even the storage of propane is unsafe indoors...much less a "living room or spare bedroom". Ignorance KILLS. You idiot…you wait five paragraphs to warn people of the dangers of carbon monoxide and death from using one of these heaters indoors.
