Can this heater be used in a small space w/o danger of fire?

I am not sure what small means. A few inches of clearance is all that is needed. It is thermostat controlled, so it should not overheat the space.

No. This is from the manual (page 5): ...This heater shall not be installed in a bedroom or bathroom......This heater needs fresh air ventilation to run properly...

Yes, but it will deplete the oxygen in the air and in too small of a room since it is not vented. Therefore it should not be used as a sole source of heat in a living area. Is fine for basements, garages and emergency heat.

I have mine hooked up in a 3 stall garage and haven't had any problems or concerns. I also don't see why it would be a danger in a small space especially with the thermostat control.

Yes -- the heat it generates is not dissimilar to a very small space heater. It's nice in my basement.

Definitely. When you are in a tent put a crack in a window or door always. I have used this heater in a 10' x 10' tent and left on all night in 30 degree weather.For safety I suggest you heat up the tent and then turn off before going to bed. Also be sure there is ample room all around the heater to prevent an accident/fire.

according to the instructions, it can be wall mounted or stand on the floor. the heat comes out of the top and may be obstructed by the top of the cabinet. it should have 3 to 4 ft from curtains and other flammable objects.i'm very happy with my purchase and noted a substancial reduction in energy costs.

I wouldn't recommend it. Because it could be fire-hazard, or treat it as one , just to be on the safe side. &#128549;

Not advised, but probably not as dangerous as a kerosene heater and a lot cleaner. Used ours to heat the bathroom during a cold snap

Dear SFL, I have used it indoors once during a power outage nin LA, I took all the precautions as when using it ourdoors and then some, such as making sure doors and windows are open for ventilation, no flammable objects at least 3 ft away, kept flame as low as possible, and did not leave stove unattended during use, furthermore I had a fire extinguisher close by just in case, in short, it is not recommended to use it idoors, but not ruled out either during an emergency. Hope my 5 cents help.Regards, Manuel

I wouldn't use it to heat my house for sure but as long as you have a window or door cracked a couple inches for ventilation it would be okay to cook a meal or make some coffee in an emergency power outage. Just keep it on low heat to reduce emissions and don't leave unattended or take a nap with it left on, you may not wake up. ;-)

It's not recommended that it be put somewhere that won't allow heat to escape. It does produce a small amount of heat. I don't think it would start a fire, but it's life would probably be shortened. I personally wouldn't do it.

This heater has thermostat temperature controls or can be manually turned on to run continuously on high or low setting. Can't tell you by temperature how warm it would get in such a small area, but it would be uncomfortable for sure. Also don't know if there may be a high temperature safety shut off built in.

I don't think that I would recommend the unit for that type application, the insulated fabric underneath may not be flame proof. Perhaps you should consult with the manufacturers customer service department for info in regard to this idea.

I would say yes. That's the thing about this heater-- it's not designed to heat the whole room; sitting in front of this thing is like sitting in a warm, sunny spot.

I don't think that would be a problem since the heating unit is inside the wood frame and does not touch the floor. Mine is partially on carpet. However, I never leave it on when I am not there. Just to be on the safe side. Hope that helps.

No. This is a wood burning stove, not only is it a fire hazard it's also a CO/smoke hazard. Like how you can't have an open fire indoors, nor can you use this stove indoors. The only possibility it may be safe is to use it in the fireplace, if you have a fireplace and you know how to use it.

The Manufacturer says for out door use only. I have used other units like this in doors and will use this one. You must keep the space where it is well ventilated to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. And like any space heater keep all flammable items away from it.

As long as the wall socket is a foot or two away from the unit it should be fine, if the wall socket is right above the unit, It just increases the risk of a fire.. It's just a safety Precaution. Just mount it afoot to the left or right of your wall socket it should be okay and try to keep the wire away from the unit also

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)
