2) Our camp kitchen/meeting room is heated with a wood stove. Most guys bring their wet clothes/boots in there for drying, as propane heat is not as "dry" as wood heat. And often, clothing will still be damp in the morning with the Big Buddies. How are these diesel heaters in that department?
Thanx in advance...  |
To answer your first question, no, you don't have to.
While it will use some air for combustion, it is not an amount to be concerned with unless you're in an air-tight box for days on end.
As far as drying clothes, nothing beats wood. It literally dries out air.
While the diesel heaters aren't as good at drying out stuff, they are far better than propane heaters that exhaust inside..
Consider it equal to your furnace at home.
