Does it need venting/chimney for safe use.

No. It hooks up to your propane tank. It does get hot, the flames stay on the inside of the unit. I would not recommend children playing around it, we use it for a garage/man cave and that is the only thing with it is that the metal does get hot so I wouldn't let people touch it. But it vents on its own. Hope that helps.

Nope. This said, however, it really isn't meant for *true* indoor use. Garage or construction zone, sure, but keep it out of the living room.

No, it's safe to use in a closed space. We use it to heat the garage when I'm working on a project.

The vent is not a problem, provided it can vent, the top does get hot - leaving things on top of the oven, while it is in use, is a mistake to be avoided.

No it does not have to be vented to the outside via a vent. Exhaust works fine within it's self.

It has to be vented yes. Where you vent it is up to you I suppose. If you want to push your hot air up there you can.

This unit needs to go outside. You can get other units that can go inside but they do require additional venting

yes, make sure you vent from side and back. It is important so the motor does not burn out.

EvenThough It Is A Clean Burning Flame I WouldNot Recommend Using It Without Ventilation.

NO VENTING REQUIRED FOR HEATER WHEN INSTALLED OUTSIDE! THIS MAKES INSTALLATION QUITE SIMPLE. Be sure you have an outside space to install that meets the requirements. Tom Swaffer tomswaxl@yahoo.com

It is not necessary to ventilate your tent with this heater. However, there is not a temperature regulator so it can get very hot I side if you don't monitor the temperature. Awesome product though, kept my family warm several times.

It's radiant heat. Why do you think you need to pull air from the outside to vent the stove or need a fresh air intake? Your house being airtight only means the stove is more efficeint I'm sure your house is not as airtight as you think. But non the less this stove will work in a drafty house as well as in a air tight home. If your chimney is installed correctly it will draft just fine in a "airtight" home.

No, the vent for the heat/air is on top of the unit. It blows air up - plus it wouldn't look too good

I don't see why not considering that it is not to be used when there is a flame or residual heat. It is meant to keep the cold air from coming down the chimney and it does a great job on that note. It also helps the fireplace look cleaner when not in use. I would call the manufacturer if you are uncomfortable with the information provided by the seller.

Yes, it does have to be vented to extract the warm air. It instructs venting through a window. I don't know if hte attic would be acceptable. You could always call the company! Hope this helps.

Mine is vertical venting. The unit looks beautiful in my kitchen. It's difficult to install; reason is that the lower chimney is attached to the base unit and to mount the 2 screw holes in the back is not easy.

I have mine in the living room on a fireplace mat. It is our only source of heat and has been for several years. It doesn't need a vent so I don't guess it matters. I had one in my mom and dads bedroom.
