I use a different brand, can't remember the brand of it off the top of my head, though. It's the one Sportsman's sells for around $90 and it specifically says that it is safe for inside tents, etc. However, I'm extremely skeptical of that. Anytime you burn propane those gasses have to go somewhere. I still suggest venting your tent or ice shack. Open the top (not the bottom) of the door, and walk outside from time to time and breathe the fresh air.
Also, I don't think I would heat a tent or trailer up with it, then just turn it off for the night. Those gasses will be trapped inside until they are vented out.
I did find another heater set-up that I am really interested in. It is made by Zodi, a local company. Basically they mount a propane burner on top of the bottle, then run air across that through something that looks similar to a metal dryer vent hose. After the air passes over the burner, you run the hose into your tent. Since the burner is outside the tent, and the burning gasses aren't inside the hose, I think this would be much safer.
You can check them out on their website at zodi.com. You might even be able to call their local warehouse. It is somewhere near Sportsman's in Midvale.
