What issues am I looking at if I try to use a ventless freestanding gas stove as a heater on screen porch?.. Porch is 400sf....Was thinking something like this

700-sq ft Dual-Burner Vent-free Freestanding Natural and Liquid Propane Gas Stove LINK

Thanks for any help.

Wouldn't the heat quickly dissipate because of the screen?

Sorry- should have specified…Will be more like a three-season room…Planning on using ez-breeze screen system on three walls. ..windows would be closed in cooler weather.

I’m looking at a wood burning cook stove for an indoor/outdoor screened kitchen and hang area. That propane one you linked looks nice and I’m sure it would work

I originally thought about wood burning stove also, but I figured the ease of propane would probably get used more, plus a ventless would save a hole in the roof. We’re getting some lines run for other gas appliances so it makes sense to do it now.

The sounds & smell of a wood fire is hard to beat though.
