I have no idea what I am doing

And even with Teflon it has to reach a temp of I think 300 degrees or so to be toxic. .
I have people around me that burn leaves and stuff a lot and occasionally the smoke rolls right into my duck run . . not good for them I'm sure But being that they aren't closed up with the smoke they have been fine.
I wouldn't worry.

It’s whatever caked up on the heating element over the last winter. I’m sick to my stomach I just hope they are ok

Also the heater was hanging about 4 feet off the ground when it happened and they were at ground level but it did smell in the run before I ripped the covering down to air it out

I'm sure they will be fine!
But wow. Thanks for that warning. I always try to make sure I don't let mine sit without being in water for more than a few seconds. . I will be extra cautious now!

They don't seem sick or anything right now do they?

They'll be fine! Mine even survived smoke bombs on 4th of July my nephew set off too close to the duck palace.

Good morning everyone. Thank god the kids are ok and the good news is that I didn’t burn out the heater. We still have a pond even after the temp dropped into the low twenties last night.
