Anyone use a propane/LPG heater in their greenhouse?

I've just spent the day carefully insulating our greenhouse with bubble wrap. We've also invested in a gas greenhouse heater and that is set up with a 19kg propane cylinder.

Still got to play around with the thermostat but I wondered if anyone has experience with these and can offer advice safety wise.

Would one expect there to be enough ventilation in a closed and insulated greenhouse to avoid any build up of carbon monoxide? Does anyone who uses one make a habit of shutting it off and allowing the greenhouse to air before working in it?

Happy to get any advice.

Thanks

    I have had a similar set up since last year and worked in the greenhoouse with the heater on without any problems.
  • I use propane in my 60ft tunnels and have 3" gaps at the bottom of the doors at each end. Not had any problems with gas build up.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
