Hello. I have a room of 12 m2. The only stove in the house is a coal stove, from which the heat does not reach my room (before there was a bathroom, so there was no problem). But now we had to decide how to heat it. The choice fell on a gas stove (Campingaz Katalytik brand). Actually, it's the parents' choice. I'm quite skeptical about it, but they insisted that it was the only way to warm up (because there is no other way). In any case, the stove is already at my place, I fired it up, it works without a problem, apart from the fact that it smells, but I prefer it to sitting in a cold one. However, I am always afraid. I read that such stoves for heating a room are quite dangerous solution. I told them this, but they said that good ventilation is enough and nothing should happen to me. The ventilation I use is a slightly ajar window (very slightly. The handle between the closed and open position) and the open door between the room and the kitchen. Is that enough? Would it be worth persuading them to buy a carbon monoxide detector? However, for your own safety, should you give up the stove completely? I will only add that my father deals with gas installations and is licensed. That's the only reason I agreed to this particular form of heating.
I have attached a photo of the stove:
