I stay away from any fuel like that for heating indoors. The only major concern is .2-.5L hourly consumption and a .5L tank? Are you filling it every hour?

Actually, these are all the rage with the homemade camper folks. There are a bunch of videos of them on YouTube.  There are a few different designs and some that work on gas as well.  They just need to have power to them at all times to run.  That's why I went with a vented propane in mine.
