The real problem I see with gasoline fire forges, other than the Fire 
marshal/insurance thing, is unfamiliarity.

While it is not inherently MORE dangerous than coal, charcoal, LP,O/A,or 
natural gas It is dangerous in different fashions. Just as each of these 
other fuels pose different concerns. Heck, I could probably take out a 
building with an electric forge.

Like LP it will lay on the floor as a flammable gas for quite a while, 
but it won't fill the rafters like NG. There are no sparks like charcoal 
and coal, but it is hard to have a trickle leak in a coal bin.

To extend the argument, wood is pretty safe, unless you ignore the basic 
safety protocols and end up with a chimney fire, or sparks on the rug.

At any rate, if you decide to try this, I would suggest that most of 
your learning curve be out doors.
