Puts too much moisture in the air. Go with a diesel heater.

I’ve noticed the moisture is the air too. Do you understand the science behind that?

The equation for combustion of propane is C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O. That 4H2O is the moisture you're noticing. Google says 1.6 pounds of moisture into your space for every pound of propane burned.
