Think i stumbled across my new way to ctb and make it look accidental

[Empty Smile]

I purchased a Mr. Buddy heater a few months ago and finally got around to trying it out.

I know all the safety precautions that come with those about CO poisoning, and so on. At the time I wasn't thinking of suicide when I did this.

I hooked up a small camping propane tank to try it out to see how good the heat output was. It put out some pretty good heat.

So I left it running for a while in my kitchen/dining room area, which is pretty good size. After a while I started feeling dizzy and a little nauseated, and feeling like I was going to pass out.

I figured if one small tank in a large room could nearly knock me out, what could it do for me in a tent using a larger propane tank used for gas grills?

I'm now rethinking the tent and charcoal method.

Brain busy..... Beware!

Yes carbon monoxide is a great way for it to look accidental, I have thought about the tent/carbon monoxide method before too. I am glad you managed to get a test to work and I wish you all the best for your actual attempt.

It actually wasn't a test. I was just trying it out to see how the heat output was, it puts off some pretty good heat!

But it may very well be my way out.

Mr. Buddy heater....hummmmmmm......that's a new one....congrats on the accidental method!

I looked online, can only find indoor safe ones? Which one did you buy?

 

[Ghab]

Which heater did you buy? Can you link it?

I got it off of eBay.

I *think* I found one. So many of them say they are safe for indoor use. Is this it? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mr-Heater-...?hash=item363f801c6b:i:232993594475:rk:2:pf:0

That one looks smaller than mine, height wise....

Being it uses propane tank, they are not safe for indoor use unless you have proper ventilation.

Try this one. It's much cheaper than the one you found.

I see...the one I posted said it can be used in campers/etc...but that makes sense, an of them that use the propane tanks could potentially be a nice "accident."

Thank you!

Oh, it has a low oxygen safety shut off though...can those be disabled? Lol. Where is a good old ancient one without all that fancy stuff when you need one?

My thing for this now.... I have two tents, a large 8 person tent which I love, and a smaller 2 to 3 person tent which is ok.

The smaller tent could cause heat to build up quickly which would run me out of tent.

The large one would take longer to heat up, but I would also have to make sure a lot more areas are sealed up.

I missed this..... I'm gonna have to look at it and check. Damn......

:/ well, hopefully yours doesn't have one if it is for outdoor only.

I just looked at the description of the one I bought on eBay, it doesn't mention anything about low oxygen safety switch, only a tip over safety switch.

 

[TiredHorse]

Might it be possible to subtly disable the low-O2 sensor? Disable it carefully, then give the heater a big, non-critical dent, so that anyone checking it later who finds the O2 sensor damaged might look at the dent and think whatever dented it damaged the sensor?

Sorry for the thread resurrection. Just thought it would be better than creating another to discuss the same subject.

I recently started living in my suv, and bought a mr buddy heater, since it's cold weather right now. This thought has definitely crossed my mind. Without ventilation, it could work.

They can also be hooked up to 20lb propane tanks via a hose you can either buy from the same company, or from elsewhere. There are lots of videos out there on how to do it, if anyone wants to experiment. I've done it myself, and have no skill.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but coincidentally I came acrosss this when I was contemplating the exact same method yesterday.



And don't feel bad about ressurecting threads, I think it's better than mucking up the forum by creating multiple redundant threads. Dates of postings are irrelevant, as long as the subject matter is still pertinent IMO.
