This is the completed (as far as I plan on completing it) propane forced air heater. The fan is from a kitchen exhaust vent hood. The rest is just various pieces of 6″ and 8″ ductwork and 1/4 galvanized piping. The final piece to get the flame right was the polyurethane can in the back-center of the inner tube. In this run I estimate it to be putting out around 100000 BTU, but by reducing the amount of air bypass I can get it up to at least 200000 BTU, limited only by how much gas the 20 lb. cylinder will put out. For those interested I made a forum thread covering the process. backyardmetalcasting.com

I have a Coleman two burner propane stove and we lost power because of bad weather. Would it be safe if we used the portable gas cooker in the kitchen to cook a small meal, crack a window or open a door slightly nearby? Is this idea totally asking for carbon monoxide poisoning? I believe I should cook in the garage with the garage door totally opened. Thanks for your answers.
I actually have cooked on a camp stove indoors before I "knew better", and everything was fine. But I wonder if I was just lucky. Now I have a terrible electric stove that I hate and all I can find online are dire warnings that I will die if I use my propane stove indoors.
