Subject:Re: Coleman Plat Cat heater report--HEADACHE when used

I think this has just been going on the Vanagon list, but I'm going to copy
the Type2 list as well. The subject is the Coleman Duracat heater which
states it is safe for indoor use ( with proper venting) I just came in from
my garage where I have one just out of the box up and running- the stench is
horrible. I'd been coating a rusted area under the rocker I cut out with POR
15, which also stinks like hell. I didn't really notice it until my wife came
out to the garage and mentioned it, then left immediately. I hope this is
some kind of coating burning off, otherwise this thing is going back to Home
Depot. After a breath of fresh air, and going back into the garage, it was
very noticeable.          Jeff S.
