Let’s talk carbon monoxide poisoning

A 1000w heater really won't do much. Then there's the fact that a fairly large power station would only give an hour of heat, then take 4-5 hrs to recharge with a generator. Most portable solar panels are only 100w or so in direct sunlight.

Makes sense, I know next to nothing about the battery banks and solar panels.

Make sure it actually measures in PPM. The low O2 monitors like the ones on the buddy heaters are a joke, it takes toxic levels of CO to displace enough Oxygen for them to alarm

Quick look shows oxygen above 1.1 and nitrogen and co dangerously close to each other. Either way having a gallon of diesel and a spare battery will keep you warm for about 4 days with a diesel heater.

Using rough firefighter math, it would take 75ppm to drop O2 levels to below 19.5%. At 10ppm we evacuate houses and even if you go by " other" standards 35ppm is considered a hazard

Wall tent should be leaky enough that i can't see CO being an issue but who knows.

I have used a buddy heater probably 30-40 times in a teepee. I just make sure it’s vented pretty well. Ran it all night every time without an issue. Though I did melt my Nalgene bottle once.

Sportys pilot shop sells several detectors for aircraft that work well if you’re worried about it.

Yeah I have one. It’s such a pain in the ass to set up and take down. Makes freezing my ass off in the back of the truck seem not so bad.
