Use it all the time.

THAT IS WHAT it is for :)

Ya did fine and you did great on giving your home the warmth it needed and filling from your tank ya got it working all well.

We have 100gal. propane tank on the side of the house, hooked up to our ventless fireplace in the home and on super cold Southern nights it beats the heat pump big time. warm safe heat. The too scary posts to use ventless heaters in the home is the same as the germaphobes out there LOL

if ya know what is going on with what you are dealing with ya got it made...if you have no experience with these workings then don't sceam 'ya are gonna die' tonight if you do that in your home! ugh :)

I'm surprised no one has given him any grief the dangers of filling ones own propane cylinders, using them inside the house, and lectured him about proper weight, volume, the misguided 80 percent of 80 percent rule, etc, etc, etc. Oh my God he's gonna blow the house up, Oh my God he's gonna burn the house down. :R

HA HA I know! A lot of scaredy cats out there :)

Old-Biscuit, where did you work in Wyoming? My work was also affiliated with the “patch”.....though my time (28 years) was spent in a sour” gas processing plant. Pretty accustomed to gases (methane,propane, H2S). In fact in our facility we were at 82% (820,000 ppm) H2S....one breath at 1000ppm, shuts down your diaphragm. If someone didn’t resuscitate you....it’s “check-out” time! So... pretty comfortable with gases that bite, though with H2S, you can smell it....for a little while! ;)

RV's are handy things to have.

Not really an emergency but as a kid, we didn't have central air in the house, so if we got a heat wave, Dad would pull the trailer around front, plug it in and we would sleep for a couple nights in the trailer.

He’s from WY. Garantee he knows more about heating than most folks :)

I'm also from WY...born in Utah, raised in UT/WY and worked Oilfield in WY (Derrick Hand).

Guess I know about heating too.

My post was a 'Safety Warning/Caution' about KNOWN dangers.

Oh well........the ill informed usually end up dead and no further education required.
