Anyone use a portable propane heater below?

I keep thinking someday I'll put in a Wallas heater. But the ~$3K price tag, permanent ducting, etc. always makes me say - "maybe next year." So I thought I'd try a portable heater such as the "Portable Buddy" and see if that solves the problem (I'm hoping to get to Newfoundland one of these years). If it works I could envision running a permanent propane line and mounting it somewhere. But I'm always nervous with gases, unattended heat sources, enclosed spaces etc. I believe Beth & Evans once mentioned their preference for portable systems (as opposed to permanent ducted ones) and am curious what the best 'portable' solution would be.

Thanks,
Max
