SC - OT: Is a propane stove safe indoors?

I have done so, during post hurricane power outages.   It being late 
summer/early fall, I already had every window in the house wide , so I was 
not worried about toxic fumes building up.  I disconnected the canister from 
the stove and set it out on the porch between cooking sessions.

The kitchen might not be the best place unless you can close it off from the 
rest of the house in order to open the kitchen windows to ventilate the 
stove.  You don't want to lose anymore house heat than you need to.  Maybe 
set the stove up in the foyer or mudroom so you can shut the interior doors 
to any rooms and open the outside door while cooking.
