binfordw said:I was wondering about using propane, kerosene, diesel, etc. I wondered if the fumes could have a negative impact on plants, I'd hate to use one in a pinch and kill everything I had started.

I was mainly thinking about a kerosene/diesel "salamander" style heater.

Yes, gas by-products, such as ethylene, will definitly affect your plants. The heater needs to be vented properly. Even then, some plants may still feel the effects.
