Dan,

I heated my shop with a kerosene heater last spring until I installed a gas
heater.  I didn't have any problems with the kerosene heat.  It is cheap and
works fine.  The only downside that I can see is that you need a rather open
area to place the heater in while it is on.  Sometimes that can be a
challenge.  I bought a large heater...the type that run around $130 at
various tool outlets like Northern, Harbor Frieght, or Home Depot.  I didn't
find any problem whatsoever with any residue or undesirable particulates in
the shop air while I was using it.  It would smell a little when I would
first turn it on and when I would extinguish the flame.  Kind of like a
candle when you blow it out.  If you get a good quality heater, you should
not be able to smell the kerosene while it is burning at all.  When I lived
in Japan, they used kerosene heaters to heat their homes and we never kept a
window or door cracked....that's how clean they burn.
