Is this stove safe to use indoors? Does it produce carbon monoxide or other pollutants?

It burns combustible fuel tabs, therefore it produces carbon monoxide and other pollutants like any other flammable fuel stove. It is as safe to use indoors as any other - use common sense, people, and seriously ventilate the room if you must use this indoors,

No! Never use a camp stove indoors. There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Yes it can be used in semi confined spaces with 2 provisos. Fire prevention and control precautions must be observed as with the use of any flame producing device and fire uses oxygen to produce flame so be advised that at least a little ventilation is required when using this stove.

The brief time that mine worked I used indoors. No problem. Propane burns so efficiently there is little carbon monoxide.

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.

This is only a guess but no to use this stove you need ventilation........ I would never use it inside. (Unless possibly you set it inside a fire place)

We haven't had that problem, as long as we use the vent fan on the stove. It will make your apartment smell like wood smoke, but that's not a bad thing.

The user instructions say no. It requires adequate ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. However, my feeling is that it's required by the company's lawyers and if properly functioning it will not be a serious carbon monoxide threat. I have seen similar stoves used in restaurants in open areas. I used a similar model in my house during the multi-day power outage from hurricane Sandy. I have carbon monixide detectors and they were not set off. I wouldn't use it in a confined space, like a tent.

I would be very prudent using this appliance indoors. It does produce monoxides. Propane fuel burns quite cleanly with properly adjusted air/gas mixtures.

Right now we are using this stove inside our home as we are updating our home. We have it on top of our stove (that is not hooked up) and put the fan on while in use so the fumes are taken outside.

Propane grills generate a lot more carbon monoxide than your normal stoves, so using this indoors is extremely dangerous. CO suffocation is also very difficult to actively notice. People die this way.If you want a grill in your kitchen, consider a Jenn-Air.

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.

I definitely would NOT use this inside. In order for it to work it needs to get really hot. It will likely ruin your indoor burners. Also there will be way too much smoke. There is no way to have proper ventilation indoors for it.

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.

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.

No!! It uses a fuel, that when burned, emits carbon monoxide. ONLY use outdoors.

I would definitely not use one of these in your kitchen or even indoors for that matter! I use these on breweries where we have the proper flame guards and safeties in place to prevent burning the building down. This burner will get far too hot for every day kitchen cooking and gives off a pretty decent flame.
