My buddy heater has a built in O2 meter that help to prevent and issues like this but, if you camp above 7,500' it will shut down the unit. I like my wood stove and keep a little coal around for those cold night that I don't want to feed the fire all night..
If you cann't stand my spelling use the ingore feature.

We have used a Buddy heater in a camper for 6 years and have no trouble at all. Provide a little ventilation and the camper is warm all night for my friend who is 76 yo on oxygen.

You might want run a vented heater. http://www.nuwaystove.com/These are like a wood stove but run on propane. I have one for my TI Goat. I've got one of these and it does work good. It does burn a lot of propane though

I appreciate all the input, I was hoping to leave today (Wednesday) but can't get out until tomorrow. Bottom line, with the heater that I have, a great deal of caution will be used, lots of ventilation and no running it all night long. Come next week, after the season is over, finding the right heater whether propane or wood will become a top priority. Thanks!

The 'right' heater ain't a gas burner......where the hell is the sense of tradition with all you modern, convenience oriented phookers? Why even bother with one of those pesky, high maintenance, labor intensive wall tents, anyway? just go gitcha a camper trailer...one with a furnace and shower.
Hook it up and go. No frame building, stake pounding, etc....

Sims makes a decent packable wood burner and I think it is the $300 range
Reasons I went to a propane heater is that I am too old/ gimped up to spend a full day cutting wood for the fire before a hun.(One of the reasons I had to stop doing pack in hunts.) My lungs can't take any type of smoke and wood stoves do belch when feeeding them. I got tired of having to be the 1st one up to start a fire because everyone else did not want to get out of a warm bag.
I still use a wall tent,but the propane heater is a concession for my comfort

What's 'packable' to you? I've packed a cylinder stove that weighs 70 lbs. and runs over $300 bucko's. I've also packed fold up simms and sheepherder stoves that take up little room. Currently using a homemade barrel stove that weighs a third of what my cylinder stove does. Packs real easy, fits right between the bucks, and easy to lash the legs to the kak to keep things snuggly. All the pipe and tools store safely inside. Whole deal ain't but much bigger than a 20 lb propane bottle, and easier to pack and just may weigh less........

Huntsman I operate out of a Toyota pickup and am trying to avoid barrel types for taking up to much room of my load space. Folding sounds the way to go. Magnum Man, Recommendation of brand and model?

MM, the folding types really don't save you any space. The pipes, saw, hatchet poker, damper and spark screens store inside mine during pack/transport. All that chit(and the folder) needs something, whether a cardboard box or gunny sack. Same-o amount of space...... B'sides that, the folders aren't airtight, so you won't get the burn times.
Been there, done that......
