we are having some terrible cold weather and were snowed in, we just turned on our little box kerosene heater and we know about the fumes and fires and everything were not leaving it unnatended but we have a two year old daughter and was wondering how long we should run it and then turn it off and when should we turn it back on? our house is pretty opened up but i dont want my daughter exposed for to long?
