See Karls site for Propex installation pix:

I currently have a Propex 1800 and it works fine. Not a lot of BTU's but it
takes the edge off. Fan is a bit noisy.

Also, see this site for Platinum Cat catalytic heaters:
<http://www.ventedcatheater.com/>
I used to have a small Plat. Cat and it worked fine. Very quiet and
efficient. Works more like a fireplace, so you have to be facing it to get
warm. Does not heat the air much, but the infrared heat is intense when you
get next to it.
