Is it safe to used this stove inside camper if properly ventilated?

You should have no problems using this in a camper with any amount of ventilation.

I have used it in my bot cabin and in tents before. No problem using it short term in a trailer, just crack a window. I wouldnt use it unattended and don't try to substitute it for a heater.

This is commonsense information that would commonly be found on a warning label. Please consult a parent or legal guardian before use.

Note that I'm replying to an adult, as an adult. If you used this in a sealed chamber, it would be dangerous. Otherwise, some intelligent common sense is all that's required. I, in an effort to be overcautious, in a larger, high-ceilinged home, tested this stove, sitting on top of our gas range, with the hood fan on full. I'm skeptical about this little two burner being any more emitting than the standard gas range. All flame emits carbon monoxide to one degree or another. Don't test the limits, use common sense. Enjoy.

This stove gives of carbon monoxide when in use and should not be used indoors at all. Due to its odorless nature, you will not be able to tell if your ventilation is adequate or not. Therefore, this product should only be used outdoors.

Yes. This winter makes the fifth winter I have used mine indoors. Safe as can be, so long as you take all the precautions you would with any other heating device and don't get it too close to combustibles.

Using any stove in a tent poses a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning regardless of whether or not it would burn a hole in the floor!!! But yes, the bottom of the stove gets very hot and it probably would burn a hole in the floor, adding fumes from burning nylon to the carbon monoxide.

I think using it in a tent would be an EXTREME fire danger. You would have OPEN FLAME, unprotected by any shielding. As to using it in the house, I guess you could, because it would be similar to a gas stove burner, but please make sure there are no overhanging cabinets that would be affected by the heat produced. Personally, I would not use it in the house.

You could use a butane stove inside the house and many folks also use alcohol cans to keep foods hot on a buffet. These produce so low of a level of CM that it would dissipate before the stove is cold after use. However attempting to do the same in a closet for example and the results are the same for a tent, the consumption of oxygene with the added CM over time is deadly.

I did not buy it to use inside I got it for camping but it my limited use of propane I wood say not to used in small spaces without out side air

I use it indoors just make sure you open a window or somehing of that nature to allow carbon monoxide out and fresh air in. Coleman will tell you no either way as a cover thine a.. statement lol

Yes, if done in a smart fashion, and depending on the fuel being used. Don't light this stove on carpet. If you're using gasoline then for sure don't use indoor. If using alcohol and on a hard non-flammable surface, I don't see a reason why not. Just use common sense, and remember that the stove gets hot, real hot.

I have used it indoors, but well ventilated. Naturally care should be taken to fuel the stove outside and to leave the spare fuel outside. For many years people cooked on indoor kerosene stoves that had an order all it's own. This fuel is more flammable. Use caution.

No. You should always have ventilation to the outside. When we camped, we put this in our tent, near the door, and we left the front of the tent unzipped a small amount and put a basket in the hole so that the tent flaps would remain open. The tent stayed very warm. Allowing for airflow did not cause the tent to become cold. I would say you could put the heater near a window, and leave the window open a small amount to allow the air to flow and the heater would still keep the room warm. As a side note, you can use one or two propane bottles, depending on if you want to use high heat or medium to low heat. You might need to keep two bottles in the heater and place it on high heat when ventilating the room, depending on how big the room is. I highly recommend watching all the safety videos that are available for this product. Keep this away from small children or fluffy pets. If it tips over, it's supposed to automatically shut off, but I'd be sure to put it on a flat surface where children cannot access it.

Yes, it's safe. It's the only propane heater I'd recommend for indoor use of any kind. I use these regularly -- as in DAILY -- in my 200 sq foot cabin for weeks at a time, and have done so over the course of 6 years. I don't think most people answering actually use these for heating a small space, or for daily heating. I do. I wouldn't leave it on while you sleep. Yes, it's safe. I've certainly slept while my heater is on. But it's still a propane appliance, and it's just not good practice to sleep with an open flame in a room. If I'm using the heater on and off during the day/night, I leave the propane tank on. If I'm not going to use the heater for 24 hours or more, I recommend turning off the tank, and burning off the last of the propane in the hose. In other words: 1) Turn the heater on low. 2) Turn the tank off, but let the heater keep burning, using up the propane that's still in the hose. 3) When the heater runs down, turn off the heater. Hope this helps. - tkh

I have not used mine in a tent yet but I use it in my Motorhome and do not believe it would be a problem. I have 2 of them now and the unit itself does not get Hot.

I would use the grill indoors, next to a window. I have seen stoves with a grill between the burners, and they are used indoors. I would, however, only use it under constant supervision. This, to me, is far safer than a charcoal or propane grill-indoors. Hope this helps.

I do not think it is okay for indoors, unless it is an emergency situation and / or there is proper ventilation. I do not think it would be good to breathe in the fuel tab fumes, however, it may be not be that big of a problem. I recommend researching further.

Yes. The heat won't be a issue. Your Coleman camp stove shouldn't be producing much heat from the bottom. If it is getting hot enough to melt surfaces when you cook on it, you may have an issue with your stove that is potentially dangerous. However, it is wobbly. I always bring a 4ft folding table out to the site to act as my cooking surface/prep/storage area.

Yes you can use it indoors. Of course you take your safety steps.....don't us it near paper or any item that could catch on fire. But most of all keep away from children and careless people. Make sure that the butane is connected properly so that gas doesn't build up to cause flareups. I use the stove all the time at my job. I do food demo's at a health food store indoors with no problem. I hope this helps answer your question. Good luck.

Should not be a problem. The generator fits inide the burner & the whole thing goes in a nylon sack. Also the combustion is so complete that all that is left is gray ash, not carbon so it is not dirty. It is not ultra-light but probably no heavier that a stove with liquid or LPG fuel. Go for it.
