Carbon Monoxide and yes it is a concern -- propane is better than diesel or kerosene but still an issue with either one. That's the magic word..ok

You could blast it untill warm , then turn off while you work . Run an electric heater to help maintain the heat

Mine is 180,000 BTUs. Has a thermostat. I put it on 38° F. Barn is drafty but warms it up enough to put up fur and not have freezing fingers. I don't like it too warm when working. Everything stays dry. They are noisy though. If your fur shed is sealed tight just make sure you open a window a little crack for ventilation

They are proud of them but I bought a val6. It burns very clean and I have ran it indoors for hours on end - no fumes and headache like I’ve always dealt with when using those torpedo units. It is also much quieter than the torpedo units I have been around.
I have powered it with one of those little Honda backpack generators many times outdoors as well for various activities and projects. I wish I would have bought it years ago I love my val6. It was spendy.
Will my toes ever warm up?
