I've got a ventless gas heater in an area attached to my shop ( not
radiant though). The major reason I would not do this again in a shop
area or anywhere that shares "air" with the heater is that anytime you
use any solvents or anything makes airborne particles/fumes the heater
burns it and smells things up. I'd vent if I do it again.
