The propane one from home depot is for outdoor use only.

My friend just bought this heater from Walmart. It does a great job of heating up his living room, foyer, and kitchen area in his apartment. Though I'm sure it wouldn't do well for heating a much larger area. It puts out about 260* air.

He also played around with this heater (his friend has this one in his house) and he said it really cranks out the heat. It puts out about 400* air.

You understand that that unit is only for outdoor use? Moving a combustion unit w/ no chimney vent indoors puts you at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning!
Since the ice storm, power has been coming back slowly in our area. We already have two people who died from running a generator in their attached garage.
Be Safe! Take no chances w/ unapproved indoor heating systems.

You wouldnt think it would be that cold here in CA, but a couple of years ago my ignitor went out for the cental heating...and couldnt find one locally :eek:
Bought 2 on the internet next day aired...so yeah...I feel where you are coming from Robert.
Get everybody in your office and fire the rig upThe first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club -
I have a cheap one I bought on sale from Target, came with 2 actually. When I plug that thing in the lights in the bedroom dim and the voltage on my computer's power supply drops from 122 to 118...lol.

BD,
Yea, w/ resistance type electric heaters, a watt in equals a watt out. There is no way to make 'em more efficient, despite what some ads try to say. Your only hope is that they heat a small area, while the rest of the house is kept at a lower temp--hopefully costing less than heating the entire house to the temp demanded by She Who Must Be Obeyed.
We have a fireplace insert which burns propane. (Had to stop burning wood due to my asthma.) My wife can toast her toes by the fireplace, while I keep the main thermostat set at 61. And the fireplace insert was a great help during the power outage from the ice storm. It can be manually turned on even when the power is out. Doesn't have the thermostat control or blower then, but it puts out heat and doesn't need to be tended.

It`s supposed to be getting colder all next week
I told everybody to bundle up ,and get a blanket
The "central" wall heater went out last year and there is no way I can cough up the $$ to replace it
It send heat through the vents to the living room and the end of the hall, but does not actually enter any of the bedrooms...:(
Nobody wants to come into my office though....that`s where they put me so they don`t have to deal with me...I guess !!Cary SLP-98L F1 DC Pre Amp (Jag Blue)

When I lived up north I used a Kerosen heater with a window or 2 cracked for ventlation. But never used it over night while sleeping, used a oil filled heater in the bed room for that need. If really cold the old oil fired steam heat kicked in, but I know that was going to cost me $$.

those little 12 dollar ones at walmart put out a TON of eat. just have them walk around with one of those and plug it in wherever they go. those will heat u up. i put one under my desk at work (its glass) and i had a frozen water on top. in about 15 minutes the water was completely melted and actually warm! my leather chair heated up so much that when i touched the back of my legs to it, it burnt a little hair off!
Those little heaters are cheap and do a great job as a personal heater, i use it at home in the bathroom, and in 10 minutes its very very toasty.2013 Toyota Prius

I used my INDOORS many do, but like I stated open a window a crack while it's burning. I also NEVER used it at night while sleeping, if really concerned about it get a carbon dioxide detector.

I heat with a woodburning stove. It makes more sense for me than most people though...seeing as I run a tree service and all.
I just put in a new stove a few months ago actually...it's working out great so far. It's made of soapstone, rather than traditional cast iron. It's a lot more efficient, and a lot better looking even.
