Ok, while I know I am lucky to be in an area of the country where it
doesn't get much below 40, but due to my extreme reaction to cold, I
can't work in my shop unless it's over 65. I may have Raynaud's
disease, since my fingers go to blocks of ice at below 50.

I am looking for a good, safe heater for the shop. Safe, in that when
use my saw or planner, any sawdust in the air won't catch fire. I'm
looking at some portable radiant heaters that use 220v and I think
they might work, but which one?

The ultimate is to get a permanent propane heater (Red Dawg, seems to
be the best), but it will cost too much right now.

Any suggestions for a good heater?

Signed Frozen fingers!


We use an oil-filled radiant heater all over the house and it's in my
garage right now.
It should do fine in your garage, especially if it doesn't get below 40.
It won't heat things up fast, so you'll want to keep it on, but it has
a thermostat so you can turn it down when you're not in there. They
have them with timers, too, so it could change automatically if you
wanted.

Since there is no open flame or exposed heating element, there are
pretty safe around sawdust and flammable vapors.
