> From the catalytic heater site:

"... No flame, no flue or chimney, no fan or blower and no noise. Safe for 
operation at ..."

Note no flue etc.  The fire is still inside.  It still produces CO2.  It 
still requires a window left open.  By using the catalyst, even if oxygen 
starved it can not produce CO (poison).  By being permanently installed it 
would be harder to tip over or have the propane leak.

One other thing I realized elk hunting this fall.  While talking to other 
hunters they complained that they couldn't deal with the condensation in 
their camper when using propane heat.  I had never had this problem with my 
LQ on late rides in MN.  I then realized they were using a catalytic propane 
heater.  The combustion of propane produces two products.  One is CO2, the 
other is water.  Bingo, that is the source of the extra water for the 
condensation.
