OK, I am new to the site and try not to say much. But having had the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning I have to say be very careful with Kerosene & Propane in non-ventilated areas no matter how much you think you can do it without a problem. Or think you can shut it off if it starts to bother you. Remember it is colorless, tasteless and ordorless.
If you are lucky enough to or by the time you realize that it is affecting you, it has already pushed carbon monoxide deep into your blood. It attaches itself to the hemoglobin and affects the bloods ability to carry oxygen to the brain, central nervous system and the heart. Some of which takes a long time to leave your body. Some may never leave. This will make your tolerance to CO much less the more you are exposed to it. Granted when you stop or remove the source you will stop the symptoms but if you have kids, pregnant wife or are planning to make babies it is not good for you be around them with those clothes or CO in your blood.
So when you get a headache or start to see signs of Cyanosis (blue lips and fingernails) you have already experienced serious poisoning. Please if you decide to use that type of heat, make sure the unit is cleaned and tuned up, have some ventilation and DEFINITELY get a CO monitor/detector.
BE SAFE
