You are probably correct. I would guess 100# tanks would work if you have a hookup about four foot off the ground -- that's the usual height I think. Usually in pairs if I remember correctly, they used to be pretty common around here for gas stoves when the house had oil or wood heat.
Those overheat infared heaters are really nice since the radiant heat actually warms up the floor and bench, unlike thinks such as torpedo heaters. I have an ancient converted oil burner furnace that gobbles propane, but haven't managed to get a newer furnace installed. Picked up one from a friend only to find it's a downdraft that can't be converted to updraft OR propane (no parts, it's too old) so I'm still on the hunt for a modern furnace. Won't make it easier to heat a barely insulated building, but at least less of the heat will go up the stack. I'd guess I'm currently around 40% efficiency, which is terrible. Probably wasting a ton of propane with the pilot too, I need to shut it off when I'm not out there, you can probably boil water on it..... _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
