I've never encountered a supplier that refused to sell black iron pipe,pipe fittings, tubing, flare fittings, shutoff valves, LP regulators etc. to anyone. Only propane item I had trouble buying was a new 1000 gallon tank - but I finally found two local places that order them in for anyone. Why kind of store you refuses to sell to you? There are hundreds of websites that provide plans, flow calculators, and all the parts needed. And, then there the thousands of plumbing supply places as well as chain stores, tractor supply stores, etc. all over the country. I've never heard of one that refused to sell to someone. In regard to odor and/or moisture? The open flame units make a little but the infrafed heaters hardly have any at all. We have several heaters and none get used a lot - it's always intermittent. We heat most of the time with wood and the gas heaters are only used on days where we only need a little heat and it's not worth firing up the wood-furnace. Also used to spot-heat some rooms that usually are not heated. So, at least here - it's not a case of getting used to it. In our kitchen, we have a stove and oven with pilot lights burning all the time - and the heater makes no more smell than the stove - with is very little. We've even got one in a small bathroom - 6 X 7 feet and a 6000 BTU infrared propane unvented heater - and there's no perceptible smell from it. As far as moisture goes - I guess it depends on your house. Many people in my area already have humidfiers added to their heat systems because the air gets too dry in the winter in a heated house - especially if they have any sort of hot-air heat system. So, any extra moisture from anywhere is welcome.
