Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage Heater
Larry, I live in Balto. MD and we also have some pretty cold winters.My garage interior is insulated and dry walled. I have a propane heater sorta like the Mr. heater but I also have an electric heater that runs on 220v. It has a fan to circulate the air. The heater brand is a Q mark. The combination of the two when I turn them on together is great. no matter how cold it is outside I can get my garage to 70deg. F in about an hour. then I turn the propane off and just let the electric heater maintain, It works really good. I think Grainger sells the Q Mark heater. Good Luck. Bob. -- Original message -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jerry, The Mr. Heater one we are talking about uses propane.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage Heater
Jerry I too live in Iowa and yes you are right. It is a cold winter this year. Atleast we had a white christmas this time but now I am ready for spring. As far a garage heaters go, I install alot of Reznor heaters in shops, garages, warehouses etc they are fairly inexpensive to install and you can get a bunch of different btuh sizes. Menards carries there own brand of Reznors. I have never put one of theirs in but I dont see any reason that they wouldnt work ok. Menards also carries a smaller ventless style heater that will heat up to something like 500 sq feet. They do work good but if you let them run along time, you will start to notice a smell. Both of those models can be ran on LP. You just have to be sure you get the right one. I personally install Reznor brand heaters that I get from Plumb Supply (wholesale) but I believe that Grainger or Dennison also sells them. If you need any help let me know and stay warm!!!

Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage Heater
For years I used the Mr Heater in my attached 2 car garage and it did the job, but then again West Texas is not as consistently cold as Iowa. I haven't tried it yet in the new garage, probably not going to be near as effective but it should take the chill off.So if you need a heater for a not so cold area Mr Heater works the unit propane are not that expensive.

It does have to be vented, however. The propane guy came last week, and we got it running, but I haven't had a chance to see how well it heats up the garage because I haven't made a cover to block the stair well to second floor (where all the parts for my '66 Elky are stored). I've insulated the garage, so it should heat up nicely. I'm in upstate NY, so it will get cooold here this winter. One concern I have is painting. I certainly don't want vapors around the open flame of the heater, and I'm not sure about sucking the vapors out in the winter and loosing all that heat.

[Chevelle-list] Garage heater
Do any of you have use a wall mount, vent free natural gas heater to heat your garage? There seems to be two types, radiant and blue flame made by Remington, Glo Warm and others. I would like to add some heat to my shop (800 sq ft). My shop is in the basement and connects to the garage which I do not heat. The shop stays around 60 degrees in winter as the other side of the basement and floor above is heated space, but I don't want to tap into the central heating system to add the shop. Just trying to make it a little warmer to work on the Chevelle and for drying paint. Krister Meister Bloomingdale, IL 66 SS #'s

RE: [Chevelle-list] Garage heater
Yep, the old fashioned looking deal. My garage is pretty small, though. It's only a one car garage, but it doesn't seal very well around the door, and winters up here get pretty cold. I'm completely impressed with it. I bought it at a hardware supplier up here, I'm not sure of the exact model, but I bought the highest heat output version I could find. Since I leave it on 24/7, I went with this style heater, for the safety reasons, plus, I don't pay electricity, and the propane/kerosene style heaters would cost me more in the long run, just paying for fuel.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage heater
Nice size Shop you got there JB... When I built mine 28 X40x 10 high. I was given a Hot air heater from a Mobil storage/office ( read mobile home ) I scrounged up a 275 gal tank out of the local paper for free and built a box and got some 8 duct work.. from a local surplus supply house.So it was done on the cheap.. but it heats my shop all year for 165 gal last year and I keep the temp at 55 deg and turn when I first get there and plan to work.. but even at 55 deg is OK. Most of the times unless I am painting . Theses units turn up regular in the local paper.. or call your local Mobil home dealer.. they take them out of homes they take in trade and sell them as salvage when they scrap the trailer... Propane is another neat unit.. I good friend of mine has a Bull Dog unit.. it is in Hemmings motor news and some other hobby car rags..

RE: [Chevelle-list] Garage heater
I have a 30x40x12'high garage and I recently bought a propane heater that is the radiant/infrared type. It attaches right on to the propane tank (the grill type). It has been great. They offer a one or two burner version. I got the single and it is adjustable from 8,000 to 14,000 btu. The double is 18,000 to 32,000 btu . It was 45.00 and I use a 30 lb. tank of propane. On high it will burn 30 to 40 hours. Natural gas is not available to me, and at least for now, electrical capacity is at a premium.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Garage heater
Do you mean the Modine Hot Dawg unit? I just got though installing the 75000 BTU propane Hot Dawg unit in my 24x36x9' garage. This is their largest forced air unit, and is supposed to throw heat 36 feet. It does have to be vented, however. The propane guy came last week, and we got it running, but I haven't had a chance to see how well it heats up the garage because I haven't made a cover to block the stair well to second floor (where all the parts for my '66 Elky are stored). I've insulated the garage, so it should heat up nicely. I'm in upstate NY, so it will get cooold here this winter. One concern I have is painting. I certainly don't want vapors around the open flame of the heater, and I'm not sure about sucking the vapors out in the winter and loosing all that heat.

The house I just bought has a 45 x 30 x 40 garage and I am a little worried about trying to heat it. That's a lot of space to try to warm and keep warmed. I may just end up getting some heat lamps and pointing them at myself as I work ;) -JB -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fruhauf Kerry A SSgt 3 CS/SCBBO Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 12:27 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] Garage heater Yep, the old fashioned looking deal. My garage is pretty small, though. It's only a one car garage, but it doesn't seal very well around the door, and winters up here get pretty cold. I'm completely impressed with it. I bought it at a hardware supplier up here, I'm not sure of the exact model, but I bought the highest heat output version I could find. Since I leave it on 24/7, I went with this style heater, for the safety reasons, plus, I don't pay electricity, and the propane/kerosene style heaters would cost me more in the long run, just paying for fuel.
