John,

Is methyl-hydrate... methyl-alcohol ?

Did you just have a small fan in the vicinity of the Origo or what ?

Did you erect and dismantle your chimney with each Origo usage or was it
a permanent installation ?

I have a HEAT-PAL and am ignorant of any negative combustion consequence
which is not mentioned on Origo's site.

What specifically are the combustion products, please ?

I have a propane heat system but don't want to sleep under it and was
hoping the Origo might at least not be a combustion products hazard,
though I realize any hydrocarbon heat source is a fire hazard.

I'm in Eastern Canada right now.

Cordially,
Courtney

Hi Courtney,
I had a boat that was for sale and I didn't want to install a
furnace. I had a single burner Origo and made up a
chimney using a large can and 3/4 " copper pipe which vented out the
main hatch or porthole. I used a small fan
to circulate the warm air. I was absolutely amazed at the amount of
heat (West Coast of Canada) that this produced.
and although I went through plenty of methyl hydrate, I did try a
heat pal (Origo) once and even that worked well but I much preferred to
vent the exhaust due to health concerns/safety. hope this helps
cheers john

Opinions, caveats, advice ?
