Hi Lynn.

I believe they had a few fires last year in and around Montreal during the ice storm and they were the reason for the new Standards on the ones now sold in Canada. The new ones don't have to tip to shut off they just have to be bumped a bit and off they go. Also they new ones can not be reduced in their heat output--they are either on or off. That feature and the new 1K fuel are supposed to reduce the smell smoke soot and general dirtyness of the heaters. I don't like the use of propane except in furnaces designed for its use. Being under pressure and explosive I prefer kerosene. If we have another Ice Storm or if the Y2K problem develops I guess I'd take either.
