Hello
I'm building a new but small shop, it will be 8' X 10' how ever living
in the north east it will get cold up here, it will be insulated, tyvec
wrapped and sided, have ac for the summer, but need heat for the winter,
I saw and like the "Hot Dog" heaters that hang from the ceiling and run
on propane, any input will be gladly welcomed.

Cheers,
Thomas Cleveland






I just use a "construction" heater hung from my ceiling- takes up
little space and provides plenty of heat- especially if the shop is
small and insulated.

Runs on 220, have had one for 8 years, no problems at all. Live in
central BC so the heater gets plenty of use.

I used the same type of heater in my 12 x 20 shed. I lived in the shed
while I was building my house. Slept out there when temps. got down
below -40 deg. Mild Manitoba winter night.
