Last night I posted a caution about using overpriced electric heaters to
heat the shop. It never appeared. Where did it go? Can someone
take negative posts off the NG? If so, why do they allow posts that
"dis" Harbor Freight or those that tell horror stories about tools, etc.?

I thought I had done a good job of using facts provided to me by the
media that ran one of the ads.

"I just saw the TV ad for the "Heat Surge" (free if you buy the Amish
enclosure for $289 Plus S&H) for the umteenth time. They said at
the
end of the ad that ---not to worry, it is safe since it uses no more
power than the average coffee maker--.
Okay, so why not just use your coffee maker for the heat and save
ALL
the purchase price? "

I heat my shop with electric... but first it goes into running the
machines and then all winds up as heat except for the energy used to put
stresses in the metals I machine. 900 bucks gives off a lot of heat. I
do have a backup fuel oil and propane furnace.
