All of the posts about being poisoned by a non-vented system like this
have made me decide to get a real vented propane furnace instead of
doing the clay pot thang.  It does work okay, but doesn't provide enough
heat to warm people on a ski trip.  You need serious BTU's for that,
methinks.

In the interim, the clay pots with a muffin fan blowing over them,
combined with a cracked window and roof vent, are sufficient to raise
the inside temp a few degrees and make things more bearable.
