The blacksmith's cum welding shop I worked in during college was heated by a Salamander burning waste oil, it was only supposed to burn diesel,  I definitely wouldn't want to use a flueless device nowadays.

If it is a business workshop I believ you must have it licensed by the LA.

Have seen some advertised for not too much money, maybe an option. But ideally i wouldnt mind mounting it in the top half of the wall, definitely above worktop height so the flue externally would be up out of the way, i would even fit a through roof flu if necessary.
