Believe what you want - but use your head a little. There are indeed "ventless" heaters - that because the name implies you don't have to INSTALL a dedicated vent. Most homes have enough air-leakage that these unvented heaters work fine - unless you stick a large heater in a very small room with a closed door.
Some of this gloom and doom I hear - is just plain rediculous. How many people have died from using the kitchen stove? They don't get vents either.
We've got 30K BTU unvented heaters in three large rooms in our home and also have a small 6000 BTU unit in a tiny bathroom. We heat our home just about 100% with wood, but . . . use the unvented heaters for spot heating - or - during times when the wood fire isn't going.
We've never had any problems. Our CO detectors have gone off a few times - but that was due to coals in a wood-fire with a closed damper.
In regard to the additional gloom-and-doom about CO detectors not working? Well, true and not-true. If you want to spend some extra money, you certainly can get a reliable CO detector. The main problem is - the cheaper ones don't detect low levels of CO very well - and that is based on a trade-off. They do offer some protection - and - if the cheap ones weren't available - many people would not buy them at all. So - the mindset is - if only the high-end units were sold - MORE people would die, not less - since many would not buy them at all.

As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
