Using a Mr Buddy Heater in a tent overnight

[Brooks]

If you have ventilation in your tent, fireproof pad under the heater, and CO2 detector, is there anything else that I'm missing to safely run one of these overnight in a tent? I'm going to run it with a 20lb tank, which of course is the easy part. Just wondering if there is anything else that I might be missing here. Let me know. Thank you!

I wouldn't, just use to take chill off and turn off before you fall asleep

I know people that will run it overnight. However for me, I wouldn't.

I was told to stay clear of these heaters because of the fire and carbon monoxide risk

 

[Brooks]

OK, loud and clear, thank you all for the input. I guess I didn't consider that!

No way, I use mine only to remove the chill and when I wake up. Google "Buddy heater and fire" and you'll have wake up call on why you don't want to run these through out the night.

These are great for well ventilated areas. I have one in my garage and it works great in there. Personally I wouldn't use in a tent, certainly not overnight.

I own one, but not a big fan of using it for long periods. Way to much moisture and honestly don't trust it overnight.

Not good, there are a few bad examples!
