Anyone Using A Gas Heater?

i tried it once in Jhb, medium size Cadac cylinder lasted 2 or 3 days. Although that was trying to heat a living room in a thatched cottage with no ceiling. Didn't work. And getting cylinders refilled is a mission - unless you got some place convenient for you.
@Riaz im no expert but my gas heater is sitting behind me at the moment. I feel like it helps me survive 
There are not really smells, if you smell gas it means it is leaking and you should turn everything off!
You must NOT go too sleep with it on or use it in an entirely closed space for very long as the heater does burn off oxygen in the room. If you fall asleep while it is burning and there is no fresh air comming into the room you can basically suffocate yourself.
When you get to that tired & comfortable feeling turn it off before you pass out

Hey Riaz, it does have some smell to it when "burning", but if you leave a small bit of window open it should be fine... but then again... maybe it is not such a good idea with that beautiful little baba of yours...
its R213 for a 9KG bottle here in Milnerton at the moment (Changes with availability and fuel price for transport)
This lasts about 3 weeks for me. A month if I don't abuse it
I love the thing though

Its very convinient!
If you had to burn wood or coal its much more effort and would cost you much more to get through the month.

a 3 panel gas heater thay uses the 9kg bottle is the easiest and cheapest way to go to heat a bigger area efficiently

i HAVE to get some kind of heater esp for her
these panel heaters are useless, and ive got another 3 bar heater that also isnt cutting it
gas heater seems to be the next option (until i save enough to build a fire place)
The gas will be cheaper and cleaner and easier then the fire place
Throw away all those electric heaters, those things eat electricity and do nothing.
Every time i see checkers having a special on those electric heaters i know that eskom gonna have to shut down again ...

yes, it's not just cold in Cape Town, it's damp, wet. horrible. i always remember , and i mean from more than 40 years ago, there was so much phlegm spat on the pavement ....
see, this is the good thing about PG/VG vapour, it has a drying effect.ya those panel heaters are useless, only fan heaters work.
AN oil heater also works well, but only really good in a closed room.
Wood fire is the best by far, but finding a good source for dry wood is a pain. And it's not cheap. The other night I went through 4 small bags @R20 each in about 3hours. At least the entire house was warm though.

Have been using the same heater for 4 years now. never had a single problem with it. If it does smell gassy, it's normally because i haven't tightened the bottle enough.
Much more economical and environmentally friendly than electic/wood fires imho.

And they're all the same really. Same price, different brands. Mine is a goldair and it works a charm.
I've got a built in gas heater and it let's of funny smells too

Might wanna get that looked at. Could become a danger to yourself and others in the immediate vicinity.
