Brad, For starters you don't mention where you're located, or how cold it gets where you live in the winter. Heating when outside temps are in the 40s is a lot different than if it's -5 deg F. electr

First I want to say I'm VERY envious! I plan to do something similar in the next year to 18 months, but I really wish I had it NOW! Where are you located and what temps do you expect to see? You did

electric heathers are the easiest to use and install, they will keep moisture out compared to the gas and oil types with open flames. Electricity is expensive to use, but very easy to control, cheap

This is a common misconception. Somewhere around 70% of US electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels ( ~50% coal ). Only about 10% is traditional 'green' ( hydro and solar ). Unless you are ge

Ron, when you do decide to build let me know and I'll send you the info on the company that built mine. I'm extremely happy with the overall package (other than insulation that is). Ron, John, Wayne

Have you considered waste oil heaters? My father uses them in his garage. He has a full service garage so there is no shortage of used oil to feed the things. ________________________________________

First step in any heating system design is to figure out what the heat loss is. without that, you're going to buy too much or too little heat. Either is expensive. A big part of that is climate, whic

I have two Empire direct vent propane heaters. I only use them when I am actually in the garage, and they are able to heat up fast. This is also a plus if you have to open the door to move a car in o

Richard, Boy how do you work in that temp. I can't do much at 100 Deg F, but 212 F that's tough. Not to mention how do you hold on to tools, and forget a cool drink. John John T. Blair WA4OHZ email:

I'm reasonably certain that the second '0' was intended to be a "degree" mark , but the list server converted it to '0'. 10C = 50F, which is warm enough (barely). Randall ___________________________

Then you don't want any kind of radiant heater. They don't heat the air at all. They heat what ever surface they are aimed at (you, the floor, your work bench, etc) and warm that surface/thing via ra

Thought about it but rejected it due too always having to try and source waste oil. More and more people are going that route which means the sources are drying up. At least thats my perception :) He
