Ever since we built the shop, we've heated it with propane. For several years w4 used those little round heaters that sit atop the propane bottle, and they did okay, but had some flaws.
Those did okay, threw a lot of heat, and sucked hard on a propane bottle. Normally, after three 8-hour days, they would suck a propane bottle dry.I wanted an upgrade, so I went searching on Amazon and found this one.
It has three panels that can be turned on or off, it lights easily, and it is on casters. Additionally, the propane bottle sits on a shelf in back. We've been using it for a week now, and Belle really likes it. It throws good heat, she can adjust it for more or less heat, and it seems to be pretty frugal on propane. We've been using it for a week, and it is still on the same bottle we set it up with.

Ohhh, NICE find!
ReplyDeleteThat brings back memories. Back in the early '80's when I was stationed in Rota, that's what we used for heat in the house we rented out in town. The only difference is that they used "butano" tanks rather than propane. The house didn't have A/C or Heat and generally didn't need it. Was built for the heat and handled that well, and it didn't usually get that cold in the winter. Maybe for a couple weeks a year we'd need to break out the butano heaters.
ReplyDeleteThey do work well and when your kid puts their hand against the front when it's still hot, it's a mistake they'll only make once.
