Quote from ZenNuts :
You do NOT want to run this in a house on a regular basis. Water vapor is a by-product of the reaction. Beside, those little bottle of propane is very pricy.If all you got is baseboard, look to your local utilities to see if there are any incentive for a heat pump.
If it's cold enough that you need a heater the extra humidity (water vapor) would be welcome in most cases.

They're all the same. The difference between the indoor safe and non-indoor safe (able to be sold in California), is that the product manual doesn't say that you can use it indoors for the california variant...as indoor propane non-vented heaters are illegal there.

I still want the one that says indoor safe, so my fam can sue the company if I die from the fumes inside.

Do these have the same pilot striker mech as the last couple years? They suck and go bad pretty quick. I hope they upgraded it, as it would make for a decent heatrer..Well, the 2 can version at least.

Online reviews say striker switch is 💩 cause uses non-standard foreign battery. Also, you have to buy filter separate if your using the big boy propane tank.

yup, mine stopped working within 5 times I used it, and I wasnt using it for camping, just backyard. I either got to fix it or trash a chunk of gear that is made cheap.

I also bought the filter and the hose and a smaller propane tank for it.

I hate it when companies cheap out on important parts of a product!

I have mine hooked up to a 30 lbs tank. I use it in a large garage, and it takes the edge off the cold, but just the edge. Maybe after 24 hours it'd get up to a comfortable temp. I'd like to get the big buddy or another large one to use as a booster to our heat pump in the house, but it does need ventilation in the room as it will build up some kind of gasses. CO? CO2? Probably both.

It has some propane smell. Anybody else have that?
The tank itself periodically releases gas to maintain safe pressures. Tanks are meant to be kept outdoors.

👎5kw Diesel heaters costs the same and don't have you breathing in carbon monoxide.

Could it be good for a couple of people sitting out in a screen porch (not enclosed like in a tent or something) when it is like 40 F? Or it is mainly for camping?

I posted this earlier this week, a Mr. Heater Big Buddy clone from Tractor Supply on clearance for $70 if you can find a store in your area with stock. I live in Baltimore area, Bel Air MD store had 6 in stock when I bought mine. Use it to heat my 12 x 14 shed/workshop, so far it is great!

Just be sure you want to keep it before you order. I believe Amazon doesn't allow return on this due to shipping restrictions. I cancelled my little heater after reading that comment. Was an impulse buy and instant cancel lol
It let me return it on Amazon

We camp with ours in the snowy mountains with temps as low as 14. Love this thing! Do yourself a favor and buy the converter kit so you can use the bigger cans of fuel otherwise you'll have to wake up to install a can in the middle of the night.
