Those are great install instructions, easy to follow.
Alot of folks are switching from pellet and wood to a small gas/propane for back up.
I think the allure of packing wood and buying a ton of pellets is faiding.

Re: Installing a Propane Heater
Make sure propane heater draws its combustion air from the outside via a pipe
If install instructions say to leave a window open when operating this is a sure sign that it could be a problem.
Just a heads up

Re: question on removing a wall
Depending on the age of your home it may be a shear wall for wind load on the side of your home.
A give away on this is, if the botton and top plates have lots fasters through them at about 3 inches on center or tighter.

Re: Coating for shingle roof?
Kev if you have no pitch or very slight pitch look at EPDM. It is a ruberized material that comes in sheets. They fuse the seams. Make sure they do vent the roof cavity. Shingles are warranted down to a 2/12 pitch. Some shingle mfg require a min of 2.5/12 pitch.
