ReplyDeleteWhen we used to use one and we found that if you light it outside and let it burn for a few minutes then bring it inside it doesn't put off as bad of a smell. We also left a window cracked at all times. They do smell but sometimes that is the only option for some. If the power went off we had heat and even a source to cook on.
Moving a lit heater is very dangerous. I don't suggest doing such a thing.
