Lol. I'm quite certain I understand it. Seems there are a few posting to this thread who believe these type heaters use some kind of voodoo to generate heat from propane and air and are much safer then other appliances burning propane.
Uh...they actually are safer. That's the whole point.
This is the attitude that scares me.
Safer than what? Other catalytic heaters that need ventilation during operation? There's no magic here. Camco didn't invent some special catalytic material that makes this heater any different than a Mr Heater or the plethora of other catalytic heaters out there. When used properly, they're all perfectly safe.
Now if you mean any catalytic heater is safer than an unvented open flame propane heater... Agreed.
