Just a thought: Don't all "flame based" heaters cut out if the oxygen levels get too low?

I have a Heater Buddy in my shop hooked up to a 25 lb. tank outside, it really warms
up the place and has a tip over switch built in. For the bus I am going to use the 1 pound bottles but wait till
Pep Boys have them on sale again ($59.95) and use a CO2 unit for saftey sake.

Jack and I have these camping heaters. They last about 6 hours on a small cylinder. You could strap it to a board and it would be fine on the passenger floor
