Just be sure that you leave room for make up air whatever you use. Don't confuse non vented to mean no openings. Everything that burns needs make up air. Some need more then others. Thats why its not safe to heat your home with an oven. Short term it its ok for the oven as its designed to just heat the small box. Anything designed to put out heat for a room, will eat up oxygen faster. This will lead to low oxygen and a larger co output from the unit as it will not burn as clean. The instrutions will say the same. This also goes for i door gas fireplaces. They need make up air.
Not all heaters need air,
Espar diesel takes intake air from OUTside and wents exhaust outside too.
Doesnt create any moisture inside either,its all dry heat.
Um, don't really know why i have to say this,
but taking air from outside is needing air. And we were talking portable non venting models. As I said, if it burns it needs make up air.
