Re: Shop heat
My shop was 106 inside yesterday and I don't think it will cool off til next May so heating is not a big concern just yet. But cooling ideas are more than welcome.

Re: Shop heat
our main shop area has 30 foot ceilings so it stays fairly comfy in summer. we don't need heat in the winter after a warm summer like we have now
as far as heat. In my garage at home I have an old NG heater'. you can get a gas ring like they use to boil crawfish in and add a varsol drum if you can get one. it fits the ring real good. cut the openings in the side. It works good enough. |

Re: Shop heat
Starting to get cool in this part of the world.
Last year my dad bought a little torpedo heater that hooks to a small propane tank. Worked good, but burned trough the propane.

Re: Shop heat
It only gets cold down here for a few months.And then it's humid,cold,rainy and windy.Seldom freezes.
My shop is too big to heat(50'x75'x12'tall),so I have a homemade wood heater to stand by to get warm.I use pine downfall on my property. And,I have one of those heaters that goes on a propane bottle to heat where I'm working. I have a 15,000 btu electric heat unit installed,but it's more for moisture control than heating. I don't know how you guys in the northern climate manage in the real cold! Mike. |
