Clayton717 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Posted November 3, 2019 This is the type of heater I use. I work in a 10 x 12 shed and I put a 4x8 addition on it. I keep the shop around 50 when not working, and around 70 when I am in there working. It has no issues keeping it warm. It is 220 v. If something happens to it I will buy another one.

Rockytime Posted November 3, 2019 Author Report Posted November 3, 2019 Looks like a great heater. What is the footprint and what is the cost? OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Rockytime Posted November 3, 2019 Author Report Posted November 3, 2019 That is quite a bit larger than mine but the price is reasonable. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Woodmaster1 Posted November 4, 2019 Report Posted November 4, 2019 Heater repair today I usually have to do this once a year. Cleaned out the hole for the vacuum switch and cleaned the carbon off the heat sensor. It is now backup and running 68 degrees inside 43 outside. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Woodrush Posted November 10, 2019 Report Posted November 10, 2019 I'm on my second one of these. It goes from 25000-80000 BTU. It is classed as an indoor propane heater as long as it is within 4ft of a 1/16" open window. It heats 1900 sq ft. Absolutely no propane smell. I heated my house for a night when my furnace gave out.I get over 20 hours out of a BBQ tank on low OCtoolguy 1 Quote
