If you garage isn't insulated, I don't think you have to worry too much
about venting, and even with the radiant heat (we use it in the shop at
work), the 'stuff' isn't going to get very warm without insulation.
My garage is well insulated and fairly tight. I run a propane heater for
about 30min to an hour to warm it up and have no problem with fumes. If I
forget and run it longer, I just crack the garage door for a short time.
By next year, I will get one of those small propane salamander, or bullet
type propane heaters cuz they have a blower and will blow the heat across
the floor where I need it most.
Of course, YMMV.
Safety Fast!
