Hey Group,
I would like some recommendations or warnings about small space
heaters for woodshops that are not attached to main structures (or
those attached where installation of a heating system is not
practical).
I know there are more varieties of small heaters than there are
cordless power tools, and like those tools, some work, some work well,
and some should be thrown in a well.
Please let me know what heaters you use and if you would buy the same
thing again. My space dimensions are 12 x 16 (not quite long enough
for ripping 8 footers, but that's what the main basement is for) and
it is a block wall surrounded by earth.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Marc


It doesn't get all that cold in central Florida so all I use is a 1500W
electric heater. If you buy one of those be aware that...

1. they come in all sorts of prices

2. 1500W is the max possible on a normal circuit

3. any claimed bells and whistles about more heat than #2 is just smoke

so buy a cheap one.
