Never operated one before.
TIA.
I have a very similar set up, except I operate mine under a covered porch that is open on 1.5 sides. I keep it as far away from windows and doors as possible, and point the exhaust away. I also took an extra step and bought some plug in Carbon Monoxide detectors that stay plugged in the outlets nearest to my windows and doors on that side of the house. I've run it twice this way, and never had elevated CO levels. The detectors are cheap (like $30 each). I think it's worth it to buy at least a couple, just to be on the safe side.
