Re: stinky turbo heater

When I run mine in my small garage I have an inline thermostat on the 120volt line that will shut it off when it reaches temp and turns it back on when it drops. I think tractor supply has them as well and not real costly. In my big garage I run a 210K, a 150K and 2 - 110K heaters and never have to worry about shutting them off while working. Needless to say I plan my working events around the extreme cold.

Just make sure if you are running in a small area that there is plenty of fresh air as the fumes can be deadly

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.

Re: stinky turbo heater

the stat sounds cool i'll have to check that out also.
usually if its cold enough to run the heater i'm allready wearing insulated coveralls there for i cant run the heater long(sweat wet cold) dont work for me usually run it a couple minutes at a time just too take the chill off.

what i dont like is its loud usually once i turn it on a good song comes on the radio and it gets CRANKED then i turn off the heater and its like WOW that was loud
