The most important thing about them is to use them in a well ventalated area.The fumes can give you an awful headache sometimes.They are quite common up here in the snow belt.They come in handy if you have to work on a vechicle out in the cold.Just put up a tarp in the shape of a tent.Never leave them unattended.They tend to consentrate heat in small areas,and have been know to start a few fires.
