Howdy,

I think this setup works if you are interested:

Lil Buddy propane heater from your local hardware store. $80 for the heater and $50 for the 20lb propane cylinder. $20 for refills. If you run this thing every day you may want to buy a second cylinder because running it 12 hours a day on the low heat setting I've found that a 20 lb cylinder only lasts a bit over a week.

$119 on eBay shipped directly from Hong Kong. Exact same item on Amazon is $190. As you can see I'm running 1200 PPM which is just about right.

Ventilation system is achieved by venting outside through a modified pet door with a dryer vent installed:

with a 4" 220 cfm inline fan so I know plenty of fresh air is being pulled in from across the house.

Of course flammables must be kept away from the heater. Don't do this if there's a lot of drinking or other types of chaos in your house because you could burn your place down.
