Anyone using the Mr. Heater "Journey" catalytic heaters?

Unvented propane appliances dump slightly less than a gallon of water into the air for every gallon of propane burned.

Operating on the 1500 BTU "low" heat setting, a catalytic heater would need to run 2.5 continuous days to consume a gallon of propane (and thus produce one gallon of water).

One person exhales that same amount of water in roughly 48 hours (not counting daily activities such as bathing, showering, washing dishes, etc.)

So - Yes, it contributes some additional moisture, but not a huge amount.

We boil water for coffee in the morning. That's a much larger problem than the little water our Weber catalytic heater puts out all night.

The biggest problem is if someone decides not to vent their camper when using a catalytic heater at night. In Minnesota it seems every winter some drunk in a fish house dies from carbon monoxide poisoning. Can't fix stupid.

We did purchase a second CO detector for our smaller camper. Have yet to have a readout from our small Weber catalytic heater, but am amazed at the readout when using our stove cooking meals. I'd say 99% of the time our Maxxfan is cracked 1" for needed venting when camping.

Enjoy,
