Olympian wave catalytic heaters
Has anyone ever tested the amount of carbon monoxide these heaters give off? I used one for years in an old travel trailer when I was younger without any issues of course had Windows cracked for fresh...

Back in the early 80's when fuel prices spiked I was a young man. I was living in what a young man can afford. A drafty un-insulated house with no wind break to stop the wind. To offset the cost of the expense propane I had a unvented Kerosene heater. In those days you could still find Kerosene and it was a cheaper fuel.
Talk about a stinky way to heat your house. You could taste the kerosene in your mouth after a few hours of running this thing.
Used to sleep with it on. Didn't have any choice. Could not afford propane on what a 20 year old makes in his first job.
A lot of us did things like this. It's funny we are not dead. I would never do it again, nor would I recommend anyone else do it either. I do sometimes wonder if the gasses from this thing may have effected me in some ways.
These days I'm doing better off financially . If I see a young person starting out as I once did and they are struggling and doing unsafe type things like this I try to help them out. I'd hate to see some kid go though the stuff that we did back in the day.
