  2. so you like it then?!

    To be fair it probably is a good fit for my van - the Jurgens is extremely well ventilated because of the South African build, good vents in windows etc and it is big so I have the room for it. I wont be taking any silly risks with my family and worst case scenario is I end up using it in my house....

    No mate; I think it’s a terrible idea!
    For that sort of money you might as well have bought a time-served and well known / reviewed heater.
    I’d imagine it’ll be pretty useless in your house too.

  8. Guy was killed after putting disposable BBQ in van . It had been used but still smouldering
     
  9. As per your other thread, CO alarm not detector required - alarm makes you get up, the black dot detectors are useful to confirm cause of death....

    Got any pictures of it in place in the van?
     
  10. Right I have just cancelled my order - my three year old is too important and you have all sown the seeds of doubt ! propex heater it is. If anyone has one for sale let me know!

    They might be perfectly safe but there’s not a chance in hell I’d have one in a small enclosed space. Especially with my 2 year old in it.
    Right decision imho.

    I have a paraffin heater you can have for a very reasonable price. It’s only about 40 years old but I’ll get it out of the greenhouse if anyone’s interested.

  16. But how much energy do you get in a litre of meths? (Or whatever bioethanol is.) it doesn't sound lie enough oomph to heat a van for 3-5 hours
     
  17. Says its output is 3kw?, capacity of 1 litre (ethanol, approx 34% less energy than petrol). That won't give 3kw for long.
     
  18. Get an Eberspacher - the Thinking Man's Propex :thumbsup:
