How about this thing to heat the garage?
I have just nothing to do today...
This is the Mr Heater little buddy propane heater... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...&s=home-garden Seems like it would do a decent job for my garage/gym. I expect to be out there maybe 3-4 hours per week total, so I would only need 1 or 2 pound cannisters a month. (Do they sell the one pounders at home depot in the winter?) Plus I could use it in the house if the oil burner fails (likely) or the power goes out. Thoughts? Bluesman |

Damn, that Kerosun Omni thing is $220 bucks...
I only need heat in the garage for a few hours a week and only when the temp is below 35 degrees...and the Mr Heater thing is built for indoor use (o2 sensor and so forth.) Bluesman |

I use a 30,000 Btu heater in my garage and it is not enough when the temperature gets below 20 degrees. Buying the one pound canister will cost you a fortune. If your house heater goes out, this will keep your feet warm while the pipe freeze. Chances are the home heater is about 150,000 to 180,000 Btu. |

Cabelas sells an adaptor to allow you to refill your little propane
tanks from your 20 poundtank on the gas grill. We refill our propane tanks for about 80 cents a pound (I guessed that amount.) wrote: I have just nothing to do today...
