I might be setting up one or two at the grandbaby’s house tomorrow “just in case”.
I’ve had these for years and never used them (yet)
They say they are safe indoors with the built in low O2 shutoff but require “proper ventilation”, and a proper CO detector installed nearby.
Since venting a room with freezing outdoor air seems somewhat self defeating it is my understanding that the ventilation is primarily to provide proper O2 to the heater for optimal combustion, therefore cleaner burning, and less CO. At least that is the info I culled and assembled as a conclusion.
So, is it best to place the heater/s near a cracked window? Am I understanding this right? And don’t sleep with it running?
