The negative side of the propane debate is fueled, if you’d pardon the pun, by the fact that if you do not keep your area properly ventilated, you run the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It is important that you match the size and type of the unit to its projected job. In other words, do not us a heater designed for outdoors in the living room and make sure the unit is the right size for the area that you are heating.
