Does this need to be operated outdoors or in the open for the sake of emissions?

Yes the instructions state that the unit should not be run indoors. The exhaust is very dangerous if built up in an enclosed space. I run mine on a covered porch away from the front door.

I would not use this indoors as it produces carbon monoxide and the exhaust can kill you

Sounds like the same thing to me. Yes, it should be operated outdoors and away from windows or air intakes into a closed structure. Operate in accordance with clearances listed in the manufacturers instructions.

Yes, its designed to be outside. I have 3 of them, all outside and they work great.

We live in a rain forest area. Our receiver is mounted in our unheated and uncooled garage, and it isn't affected by climate change. However, I am pretty sure I read online not to mount it outside.

I think if I wanted to use it outdoors (provided you have an electrical outlet) I would contact the manufacturer, or I would find the instructions from the manufacturer about outdoor use. I have only used it indoors.

It can be installed inside or outside as long as you can run the electric cables to outside walls- Things to consider when installing outside are increase in cost to run electric line outside, security i.e. someone can take the unit from wall, is the length of cable on this unit sufficient to reach the car in garage etc. My dealer has this installed outside so that all customers can use it.

I use mine outside. Just have to ensure the outlet you plug it in to has a rain cover. I suggest sealing the connector that where power supply meets wiring for light with RTV gasket maker or a caulk to ensure that's water tight

No, you need to use it in a well ventalated space. As the pump pulls a vaccum - the exhaust has a fine mist of oil vaper. Vent it to the outside. LP

It is for outdoor use. I have an outside electric socket and bought this specific grill so that I could cook outside without the big mess of charcoal or the terror of scarey gas. You can move it wherever you need to - it is easy to pack up.

It should not be used inside your home! It probably could be used in a open air type building like a pole barn type shop. The exhaust gases would have to be vented outside to use in you are home.

As long as it doesn't block air flow. I would think that you'd want it out in the open for maximum use.

We don't use our outside at all but I would guess it would need to be taken in when not in use..it doesn't seem like it would be weather tight.

It is electric, so I would be cautious about having it outside. I guess if you have it in a covered area protected from the weather it might be OK. It would probably need more frequent cleaning. I'm not sure I have totally answered your question......just my first thoughts to having it outside.

The manual states, "Use only outdoors." That might be because, "the exhaust gas and top of the unit is HOT!" The exhaust fumes might be an issue. But, I think you could safely mount the unit outside and just run the hose that connects to the shower head through a window. I would personally be totally okay with and feel quite safe doing that. Hope that helps!

It blows outside. You're looking to exhaust filtered air? What am I missing?

no, the exhaust is carbon monoxide. it can be ran outside. I found that it does not cool very well on propane if the outside temperature is hot and in direct sunlight. best in shade.

It's a window unit. Exhaust side needs to be properly ventilated to the outside.

Mine does not say it on the unit itself. I am sure for safety reasons you would use it outdoors. Personally I have used mine for years inside with no issues. If you think about it is basically the same thing as a gas stove just much smaller.
