Funny this topic has come up. I saw a parabolic heater that I swear when you stood right in front of it, you felt like you were standing outside on a very Sunny day. These things are apparently incredibly efficient. I haven't purchased one, but I have been rather tempted. Has anyone tried a

Hi Lee, These days they usually use PEX. PEX is a form of cross linked polyethylene pipe which can be laid down in long loops and being somewhat flexible can be bent without requiring joints. It is quite resilient. If I was Han Solo I'd probably pet my wookie - Original Message -

Thanks Bill. I know when I passed this thing at Costco, I could not believe how much heat was pouring out of it. Of course it is directional and so would take some time to really warm an area up unless you are directly in front of it. An interesting idea for sure. It was interesting that the
