Most of those fire boxes aren't lined, but they are extremely durable. Now before I go any further, you need to go buy a carbon monoxide detector. Nighthawk is the brand to buy. This furnace is extremely simple and you are probably just as qualified to work on it as anyone else. The lever on the side of the carb is a shut off, like you thought. The low med & high is just that, how high the flame is and thus how hot it gets. The fan may or may not be thermostatically controlled, but that isn't a big deal.

You wait until you can see a LITTLE wetness, light a small wad of toilet paper or something and put it in there on the wetness. Don't worry, it's diesel, it won't explode.
