Proper heat unlike electric devices. They will heat a small room no problem as for smell only if the pilot light goes out and the gas is still on

They are very cosy and great to have a standby if the worst happens and you only buy it once , gas your always needing refills and more money and swims on a big man like myself
My colour was blue.

Go and buy a few pairs of joggers, I get them from cheapo shops @ £8 ish for a pair.
I wear them under my jeans, totally invisible and they save a fortune on heating.
I wear them from October to March and have done for past three years, I reckon I save £150 each winter on heating bills. My bro-in-law thinks I'm a miser, he sits around in underpants in December with heating on 35C while mine is on 18C and I'm warmer than him. He pays three times as much as i do and I'm comfortable all the time.

Just something to bear in mind:
Portable bottled gas (LPG/butane) heaters commonly cause damp, condensation, and mould.
They emit roughly 1 litre of water vapor for every kg of fuel burned, which settles on cold surfaces, windows, and walls. Proper ventilation is critical to prevent moisture buildup, which can cause significant dampness.

You can get it at most lorry filling stations, truck stops ect it's used for the freezer motor on fridge trls.

Might be best with an oiled filled radiator , set the thermostat so it’s not on constant.
