Hey James,

Martha and I have been discussing here plans to use the stove as
a heater off-line.  She's concerned about the by products of the
LP burn and how to evacuate/vent them out of the camper.  I thought
that there were no nasty by-products from burning LP gas and that
the only concern would be the replacement of oxygen.  Can you
or anyone else clarify this?

Thanks,

Steven
