I delivered propane for 12 years. During that time Vent Free heaters came on to the market. Vent free heaters are designed to be a supplemental heat sources not as stand alone units. One of the byproducts of combustion is water vapor. So often when over using a vent free heater moisture is first noticed beaded up on window panes. In extreme situations of over use the moisture can get very severe. If using a vent free heater in a place where you using any strong smelling products (paint, stain, strong cleaners etc.) the odor from those products can be burned and then the heater emits a strong smell similar to a kerosene smell. I'm not trying to run down the vent free heaters I own one myself a person simply needs to be aware that they don't work in every situation.

Because of the water vapor a vent free heater is not a good choice when drying fur.

Never had an issue with moisture. Only ones I have seen with this problem is metal roofs that aren't insulated and/ or moister barrier. Don't think the propane burns long enough to produce that amount of moisture , rather the roof is sweating from the temp difference between the inside and out....
Also seems natural gas users have more moisture problems.

If you leave out the divorce settlement, the cost drops way down. I'm still single.

Do you happen to have a Tractor Supply Company store nearby? I did a Google search and Tractor Supply popped up.
