No matter how well ventilated, DON'T USE PROPANE INDOORS!!!
Propane is heavier than air and any propane leak lies on the floor, an
invisible puddle waiting for an ignition source to produce an explosion. I
am not over stating the danger. I've blown myself up. Twice. (maybe that's
how come I don't think so good anymore, duh?)

Roger -
I appreciate your concern, but you are perhaps over-reacting a bit. People
all over the country heat and cook with propane with no problems at all.
The solution is to have no leaks.

The main thing with propane is to make sure the tank is outside, well away
from the building. Leaking most often occurs at the tank connections.

Roger:
I must question you here. We live on rural property; and both
our furnace and water heater use propane. They are properly
vented. It is a common source of heat in this area.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand your concerns with propane
heating. To me it is cheap and highly efficient.
