Ahhhh...heat in the shop....

Karl, Yeah winters are hard on me....
...
It is propane like the one in the attachment, only I have a 100 lb. tank
...

Steve, I also have a propane heater of about 30,000 BTU and I think that you will find the 100 pound tank doesn't last long. My tank is 450 pounds and that is a lot better (I started with two 60 pound tanks).

My propane heater is only used to make sure the heat never goes below 10 degrees (Celcius). I warm the shop to temperatures above that using the wood stove.

Thinking out loud...
hmmmm ((10/5)x9)+32=50.... now I understand...

Steve, with the temp flux.-5 to 50, do you get any moisture on your tools??

Thanks Don.

When you folks say 50, I need to do the reverse calculation before I know how warm or cold that is.

Jim, that fluctuation was just the first time I used it to get the shop warmed up. No I haven't noticed any moisture on my tools (3 days)...but I did take John's advice and turned on a squirrel cage fan I have in the shop tonight.

I turned the heat off the last couple of nights and the shop is still pleasant in the morning when I restart the heater.

The propane will put out about 1.5 gallons of moisture into the air for every 100,000 btu you burn ... so that's 3 - 4 hours of usage. Your air is probably dry to begin with, so over that period of time it probably is dissipating well.

The burner has an oxygen depletion sensor on it, right? If you bought it new it would have (they are required).

I've always heard that propane heaters of that type can cause hazardous CO. True?
