My heater is unpowered, it just radiates it's heat out everywhere but since it's near a sliding window I leave that window open a bit and in the bedroom at the other end of the house I have another one up high that I leave open with a fan sitting up in it. The result is warm air streems down the hallway to warm the bedroom too. You would never asphyxiate in a house this size, too many leaks, but I like the idea of fresh air coming in and it picks up the warmth off the hearter as it passes.We did have a back up, small pellet stove. But we replaced that the following year with a small wood stove.
I have tried a much as humanly possible to dark-age proof the house here but I doubt much of it will be needed in my lifetime MOS, I certainly hope it wont be. But perhaps my heirs will benefit from the work, and it was fun doing it all too. That's the trouble with this level of disaster awareness, once you know you simply have to prepare hey. Every few years here idiots set up a home in a shipping container with a combustion stove, then close the door on a cold night. There is a big lack of common sense in the world today.
