Finally -- shop heat
A while ago, I had this stupid idea I could heat the new shop with an air-tight wood stove. 36' x 36' x 13' ceilings.
 So, when I finally smartened up, here's what I went with.          Natural gas-fired radiant tube heater - 60,000 BTUs 20 feet long with a 90 degree elbow at the half-way point. Whisper quiet. The next challenge is to get vapour barrier, drywall (gyprock) and insulation up there so I'm not heating the great outdoors through the roof vents. It's a long way up there.

Re: Finally -- shop heat
Yeah, sheet rocking that's not going to be fun. I dig the heater.

Re: Finally -- shop heat
A friend of mine has that same set up in his shop,he says the more stuff you have in your shop the better it works.Also once you set your heat temp leave it alone as it takes awhile to heat every thing back up! Nice shop- rent a sheet rock lift,don't count on friends like I did.

We're going to place the drywall lift on an open car trailer to get the extra height required.

Re: Finally -- shop heat
