[Shop-talk] garage heating, electric vs. gas

[Chris Kantarjiev]

McMaster-Carr sells a variety of "quartz electric" heaters. I have one 
of the 1896K61 units hooked to one branch of a DPST thermostat, with 
wiring in place for another one (on the other branch).

Works for me, but I'm in northern California. I keep the thermostat set 
to around 55 and am mostly worried about condensation. The heater is 
aimed at the "machine shop" portion of the garage. It takes a while to 
heat the entire space if I want it warmer.
