Such drama. Kero heaters all come with instructions for how many
square inches of vent opening should be used.

The humidity really can be a problem, though. I ran a kero torpedo
for a few years in my garage.

A vented system is much better in a cold climate, and it'll cost
less than the electricity to run a dehumidifier for a couple of
seasons.
