Has anyone got or ever used a paraffin inverter heater

Thanks , the hiss and glare along with the aroma of a paraffin lamp while in a railway tunnel in the wee small hours is very evocative to me, would bring a tear to a glass eye thinking about it.

The only time there is any sort of smell is when it fires up then when it burns there is no smell at all. I do know carbon monoxide can be odurless but as i said before the built in CO alarm has never went off nore has the other CO alarm we have in the room

As stated before, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are different gases. A carbon monoxide atarm won't register carbon dioxide, and vice-versa.

If you want to measure carbon dioxide (and it's OK if you don't want to), you'd need something like this:

I will purchase one of these. And have it in the room. I also have the built in moniton on the inverter and one i bought for the carbon monoxide. What is the correct hight and location to place the monitors ?

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is lighter than air and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is denser , this will effect where monitors/ alarms are placed.
Whatever device you purchase follow the instuctions with it.
