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...

Sorry but I am really confused, possibly you know something that I dont or my assumptions are just wrong about my Wave or ony other catalytic heater, unless were are talking different things here. If you were describing my Mr Heater Buddy heater I might concur to a degree. Though it does burn cleaner than our stove, I dont want to be in a small place long with it. But your stating that the efficiency of a catalytic heater is no better than the burner on my stove?
...same amount of propane for a given number of BTUs (heat)?
...same amount of unburned fuel and by-products etc. "fumes" released into air?
