I compared five indoor safe propane heaters across a workshop, a chilly cabin, and a power outage night to find which ones heat fast and stay safe.

Questions answered

Is it really safe to run propane heaters indoors?

Only models labeled indoor safe with oxygen depletion sensors and tip over shutoffs. Always run a separate CO detector with any open flame heater.

How long does a 20 pound propane tank last?

On a Mr Heater Big Buddy at medium, around 50 hours. On low, around 100 hours.
