As far as I know space heaters are safe so long as you keep them clear of flammables and get the ones that shut off if they tip over.

I know heating with a gas stove is a dangerous habit. Many poor folks do that though.



"Keep all flammable objects at least three feet from space heaters." I typed space heater saftey tips into the browser and that is all the info I found. There was a comment about not using them to dry clothing, but I didn;t think that needed to be said.
