are you crazy ?! or what ?!

we have enough deads while paddling, we don't need any deads while building !

as you know, open flame heaters release co .

co is a gas with no color no odor & is heavier than air - the perfect crime !

no color - you don't see it.

no odor - you can't smell it.

so, to begin with, you can't tell when it's there !

There are co detectors that starts making noise when they see it, but in your
case it won't matter since you are underground & the co is heavier than air,
so even if you detect it, it will stay there - I assume the door in your
workshop is higher than the floor & that there are stairs going down to
that floor. I also assume there are no windows.

now the 3rd part - I'm not a chemist, but this is pretty simple: each c (carbon) likes 2 o's (oxygen), but it only has one o, because ,well, it's "co",
so....it takes another o from the air around it, so you are left without
oxygen & you die, it's quiet & painless, you just fall asleep - the perfect kill !

in your case I recommend electricity - not heating bodies, just lamps.

what people here are usually looking for is heat to make their epoxy cure,
& their solution is usually some kind of nylon tent/frame over that wood
with a lamp under the wood, so it creates reasonably warm environment for the wood without open flame & the risk of overtemp.

in the past I brought up the idea of starting a car's engine in the garage with
a sealed hose from the car's exhaust outside, since what the engine produce most is heat. but this thing won't work in your basement.

& something else, do you have kids running around ?

well, kids & co don't go together. one of them have to give, just make sure
the co will give first.

hey man, I just saved your life,
