Sorry...it's another shop heat thread here
The 4800W 240V "electric box" in the corner of the workshop will get me by for this year...that's what I have been saying for the last 3 years actually. However, the idea of having a big 'honkin propane heater in the corner near the ceiling has been getting more attention as the temperatures drop lately.
I took a look around locally for someone that might sell the Hot Dawg brand from Modine but have not located anyone yet. But I did come across someone that can source the Reznor equivalent and it looks pretty good from a cursory glance.
Does anyone have one of these units and can they comment on how well it works, ease of installation, special venting considerations etc? I think 45000 BTU will be more than sufficient for my shop - it's 21' x 21' with 10' ceilings. Based on the heater that I have at the moment 4800W is about 16000 BTU so I'd be jumping up with 2-3xthe heat output with 45000. Maybe 30000 would be sufficient but better safe than sorry.
Thanks for any tips and comments people can supply.
Cheers from up here in Canada,
