As long as you burn kerosene, you will have fumes to some level. Some fuels generate less fumes than others, but they all do to some extent. I use a bullet heater in my workshop. It only gives off fumes when starting and stopping. In between, it runs cleanly with very little smell if any.
One thing that you will find is that if you use diesel or fuel oil (#2 is the same as diesel), you will likely have problems with getting good ignition in the cold. My heater was given to me by a fellow that simply did not like the fumes. It was filled with #2 fuel oil. It ran good, made a LOT of heat, but when the temperatures dropped, it would not start up. I had to use another smaller heater to heat up the big one to get it going. Next fill up was straight K-1 kerosene.
If the fumes are a concern, I would recommend just sticking to propane or natural gas. Both are cleaner burning and will give off a minimum of fumes and no strong smells.
