[Rhodes22-list] heater in the cabin

[Chris Cowie]

What do we think about using a portable heater such as the HeatMate 5200
on the Rhodes 22?  Does the pop top enclosure offer enough ventilation
to replenish oxygen used by the alcohol burner or is additional
ventilation required?  While additional ventilation is safer it sort of
defeats the effect of the heater?

Can't remember if methane is heavier than air.
