Default A good setup for the Fireworks bead kit?

Yesterday I picked up the Fireworks bead making kit to finally get started making some beads. I will be using a 1lb MAPP gas canister. I plan on using this kit until the torch dies, then getting a HotHead and keeping the same setup. I can’t upgrade past a HotHead with a 1lb canister because I currently rent a condo.

I was wondering what kind of ventilation is necessary to have for a beginner kit like this? Also, just in general, some ideas for a safe beginner setup with this kit?

I will be making my workspace in a spare room. There is one sliding glass door in the room. For my tabletop, I will be building a cubicle type of design out of sheet metal to surround my torching area. For ventilation, the idea for now is to cut a board of some material to the height of the door, and run a flexible duct out for ventilation. Is that sufficient for this starter kit?

Here is my reference of someones ventilation setup that I want to try:

And the cubicle design I am referencing:

I know the more ventilation and safety the better - no matter the equipment. However this kit doesn’t make much mention of that since it's for beginners so I thought I would ask on here!

Here is the kit: https://www.amazon.com/Fireworks-FW6.../dp/B000C11SD0

Thanks for any help or guidance
