Shop Heat/Heater


What make/size of shop heater do any of you have/recommend? As for the area, my "shop" is a 2 car garage.

Re: Shop Heat/Heater


I hear you Bob. Problem is, I live in one of those residential areas that have every house about 4 ft. apart (or less) and the red tape I'd have to go through would make me want to remove my spleen with a spoon. It sucks too because my parent's old wood stove is just sit in my Mom's garage collecting dust. When my Dad was alive, he was going to install it in his garage.

I would have thought you installed yours ages ago...

Re: Shop Heat/Heater


I vote something ceiling mounted away from spills and fumes. I prefer no flame in the shop at all and have some electric baseboard up high. If it is too cold I find something else to do. I've been thinking about an old furnace, (free), in a little room outside the shop and then the heat would come in through a heat exchanger.
