Wave 3 Catalytic Heater?
Anybody here use one of these? I read that they don't have to be vented (as long as you crack a window), are super quiet & very efficient. Thinking about getting one for our small pop-up, the stock...

No, The wave heater is a catalytic heater.
But, the heat output (and combustion byproducts) are pretty much identical.
But the scale of byproduct CO is much, much lower with the Wave 6 versus burning an open flame, and the efficiency is much higher. Hence the crack a window and crack a vent.
I would agree the CO is higher, though not much, much higher if the stove burner is working properly. The efficiency is about the same: no more heat is produced by catalytic combustion than open flame combustion.
