Hi Richard,
Nice post.
Catalytic heaters don't self extinguish as oxygen levels go down and the lower the O2 the more CO they produce. Nasty.
There are many combustion heaters that are zero power and through the wall designs. They are not cheap--but then dying was never my plan.

No open blue flame, No obnoxious odor of Propane combustion, however during operation the "platinum pad" is orange hot! DOES NOT PRODUCE CO however to support the catalytic action they DO consume O2, 99% plus heat efficient. I understand that if there is LOW O2 available they WILL produce CO. A small open flame is used only when starting the catalytic action. They will also KILL you (from lack of O2) if not vented properly (see above disclaimer) Dust is the worst enemy of the Platinum pad, keep covered when not in use.
Again- Go on line and read the operating instructions/warnings for ANY open blue flame/catalytic space heater!
