In Response To: Shop: Heating the shop - Looking for options (Marcel Rodriguez)

I use a 50k BTU propane heater by Empire with a powered vent in my shop/garage. With the thermostat control, I can set whatever conditions I need for epoxy or painting. I would strongly recommend a unit that vents outside to avoid moisture buildup inside. Even safer would be a unit with a combustion chamber that is isolated from your work area. If I had to do it now, I would get one of the Rinnai (sp?) units available now, which I just put in my house upstairs. Better quality and more efficient than my shop heater.
