I have a double burner propane heater I've been using to heat the
garage/shop for quite some time. I've grown tired of the smell. Does anyone
have other recommendations? A wood stove isn't an option since vehicles are
in there at night. The other restriction is that I only have 120 volts. Of
course the ultimate answer would be to have a dedicated shop, but...


Why does propane smell? Al that should be coming out of it is water
and CO2.

Don't forget the "oderizer" added to propane so you can smell if
there is a leak.


If you can smell the mercaptan, there *is* a leak. If the burner is
working properly, there is no smell. I have propane logs in my living
room and a propane cook top. Neither stink.
