Sounds like some are paranoid about propane and Co2, Picture this a 15 foot camping trailer about 120 square feet if it was completely empty no beds storage cupboards fridge etc so realistically it is about 60 square feet on the inside, its late October cold as hell momma has a casserole in the gas range for the last hour and 2 burners on for heat guess what? No one is dead, happens every year during the deer hunt. With that point made I use a Turkey fryer for brew and a propane heater for me out in the garage, I don’t open the door (in winter) for ventilation. Just goggle propane heaters look at specs some of these bad boys can burn a pound an hour and require no ventilation. I do use a Co2 detector and I’m building a ventilation hood using a bathroom exhaust fan and some formica covered ply my desire is to remove the steam which will cause damage over time but would work well for burner in an enclosed area like a basement. Got a little off topic But I wanted to point out that propane is safe and efficient. With that said I would never use one inside my home way to high of a fire danger plus you will boil over, I routinely boil over a 15-gallon kettle using 7 to 8 gallon pre boil volume. I toss some water on the floor and sqeegee it out the door mess cleaned. Not as easy in the house. Heat stick for this situation looks like a good fix.
A man has ony 2 things in life his word and his balls or is that 3 things??
I'll probably put it in the Brewing Equipment or sculpture section. I even remembered to take pictures as I went so everyone can see exactly what I did.
