Normal Body Temperature?

Generally 140C is the minimum safe burn temperature. 
Only way to check for your individual heater is an inexpensive CO meter. 
Once set the automatic altitude adjustment in the AB should look after things. 
However if you set at sea level does pay to check again at higher altitude with the CO meter. If you do need to adjust at higher altitude, will be fine back at sea level.

Thank you for the help.  

I have checked/tuned it with a CO meter at max and min setting but it seemed cold on the low setting so I was concerned about it building up soot when run on low for long periods, which I do.  Its being used as supplemental heat in a small shop so I won't be changing altitude unless I blow something up, which is entirely possible.  

On the lowest setting I am only seeing around 120C body temp, which seemed like it might be an issue.  It is only 10-30F outside though, so pretty cold air getting pulled into the chamber. 

I just don't want to get it full of soot.  Maybe I should mess with the tuning some more, it was much warmer when I set it up.  I will try some minor changes and see what the CO meter says, its reading 0-10 now on low so pretty good.
