In Response To: Strip: heating a garage (eric Platou)

: The winter chill in Chicago has brought my building to a close, too
: soon I might add. I was delayed in my building and was not able
: to get the inside of the top of my kayak galssed. I would like
: to heat an area of the garage enough to do this one last
: project. I am tempted to use one of those patio propane towers
: that often is used outside on a patio or deck. You know the ones
: that are about 5 feet tall with a propane tank in the base and a
: covered radiant heat area about 4 feet up. My concern is the
: carbon monoxide this may give off as well as how it might react
: with the epoxy fumes. Save me from emminent disaster if that is
: was comes with this combination. Please suggest an alternative
: if there is one. Thank you.

To be on the safe side I would get a CO detector. I have a CO monitor in my well insulated 27x23 foot shop, which I heat with wood, propane, and electric. The only time it ever beeps is when I am burning wood with the dust extraction on: without enough make up air. Never when the propane burner was going. Perhaps I have a particularly clean propane burner, but I think they all are pretty low in CO emmision.
