Small propane heaters can create up to 5000 BTUs in the space of an hour. These heaters are perfect for camping and other outdoor activities. Large propane heaters emit between 10,000 and 45,000 BTUs in 1 hour. Larger heaters are better for heating large warehouses or building sites.

You should only use the heater indoors in a large space with plenty of air and ventilation. Avoid using the propane heater in a small, enclosed space like a tent or a bedroom.
If you’re asleep and the heater is still on, you could end up unconscious. If you wake up and you’ve been breathing the carbon monoxide for some time, you’ll be in a state of confusion.
If the propane heater is heavy, use a hand-truck, a trolley, or a wheelbarrow to move it.
Buy a replacement regulator if you need to at the local heating store.
If you have difficulty removing the valve cap, put on a glove. The glove will allow you to use more force without damaging your hand.
Don’t touch the mesh screen with the flame, hold it about 1 inch (2. 5 cm) away from it.
After you shut the heater off, it will be very hot for 7 to 8 minutes.
After the 15 to 20 minutes have passed, test the heat by placing your hands around the head of the propane heater. Don’t touch it, but put your hands near it to feel if there’s any heat coming from it.
