No odor, but you need to crack a few windows to use it. Ours is free-standing, on little legs. Yes, it has a "thermostat" (kind of)... if you leave the pilot on, it will turn itself on and off as needed. We hardly every set it above the lowest setting at night.<br /><br />There are a few other posts that talk about the Kozy World, too. Just search on Kozy World in the search box on the blog - you will see that we LOVE it.Laurie and Odelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160352835343733761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-62575275420590403412011-10-07T15:53:17.565-07:002011-10-07T15:53:17.565-07:00We had snow in Waco TX one December...and ice, whi...We had snow in Waco TX one December...and ice, which is the very worst when you are pulling an RV..I really don't mind it if we don't have to drive in it..but only a little, please..no 4ft drifts like here in ILL.

My experience, like yours, is that those can't always keep up. <br /><br />Tried a Big Buddy Propane but the smell was too much. So I'm interested in your Kozy World heater. I assume it either came as a floor version or you bought the legs. How many BTUs? Quiet and no odor? Thermostat?Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-60985145590707756012011-10-07T11:55:32.354-07:002011-10-07T11:55:32.354-07:00Just in case you want to know, I cannot read your ...Just in case you want to know, I cannot read your blog on my iPad.
