Re: [A/S] Heating with the oven (was Asphixiation)



Tom,
  Catalytic heaters do emit water, which is a byproduct of all fuel 
consumption. Excess humidity is usually not a problem, however, assuming 
that you're operating the heater according to the instructions. IE: you 
must provide some ventilation.

Also, it's not recommended that you rely on ONLY a catalytic heater, 
especially when it's VERY cold. If it's going much below freezing, I 
want my furnace to operate, at least part-time.

What must be remembered is that MANY things are very dangerous when done 
using bad practices. You need to be aware of the dangers and act 
accordingly. Like Joe, I won't heat the coach with the oven, but WILL 
use the Cat. With ventilation, according to the instructions.
