OH MY GOD we all have to take our gas burning stoves and ranges out of our houses!!!! Or so it would seem if you read these answers.If this is a small burner about the size of one on a gas range it should be ok,but as someone has already stated using a propane tank inside is not a good idea.Yes it will give off carbon-monoxide but so do stoves and ranges.The amount that they give off for the short time that they are used is considered safe.

I'm not sure about the safety of doing this. It could be possible that the cooker is rated for outdoor use only. It could use up the oxygen in the air or fill the house with fumes, if it doesn't burn efficiently. I think I would try to cook outside with it, until you can confirm that it is suitable for indoor use.

Here's what the Blue Rhino website says about using propane indoors:
"Never use or store a propane tank indoors."
Put it outside on your patio like you would a BBQ grill...or use the microwave. Goodness, they aren't that expensive to run.

OMG....Don't EVER use the cooker in the house. It's for outdoor use away from the house, garage, or other wooden structures. Keep all children away from the cooker when it's in use.

ABSOLUTLY NOT...AT ANY TIIME. GAS GRILLS SPEW HUGH QUANTITIES OF CARBON MONOXIDE--TOTALLY UNSAFE IN A CONTAINED AREA.

Good god no! Nothing that burns can safely be used indoors.
