I didn't say it would produce a level of CO high enough to kill you, but it will produce CO, no iffs ands, or butts about it. Simple chemistry my friend. The incomplete combustion of any hydrocarbon fuel will produce CO, and the only way to get complete combustion is to feed the thing pure oxygen...not gonna happen around here. Those little heaters (I have a Mr. Buddy) do work, and are generally safe in an enclosed space for a short time, but if you read the owners manual, there will be precautions in them. If I use mine overnight, I take a portable battery operated CO detector with me. Yes some claim to have safety cutoff switches, but I would rather be safe then dead. CO kills without warning. If you were sleeping, you just don't wake up.

The original post asked for a unit that doesn't put off any CO, and none are made.
