Burning Propane for CO2 Generation

Can anyone impart some knowledge upon this newbie? I have a "flameless" propane camping heater. Takes one of those mini propane tanks. Very kewl little unit. When I say flameless, let me explain . . .

It releases the propane through a fiberglass like pad, so technically there is a flame but it exists within that diffusing-fiberglass pad.

Will burning this periodically in my grow room help with getting my CO2 levels up?

Any additional info about generally burning propane to enrich CO2 levels is also welcome.

Also how about CO2 levels during veg vs. flower. Is optimum levels always 1500 ppm?

Thanks!

PS. I'm a newbie here for about a week or so and I ABSOFUKINLUTELY love this site and it's peeps. Rock on!

temps have more to do with it than ppm....
they say 86f is the magic number for co2 uptake.
the thing about burning propane is it will also release co3... carbon monoxide. be carefull.
i know one person that has died from using a propane heater in a tent. asphyixiation. sad day....

docent that put off carbon monoxide that sound pretty iffy to me at best

I dont recommend using fire for CO2 generation. Carbon monoxide is also a biproduct of combustion.

Plus temperature, pressure, humidity, and light are factors in CO2 uptake.

Go with CO2 tablets that you can find in aquarium supply stores.
