3 things wrong here. Heater should be on the floor. Heat is rising to the peak of the roof, so insulated bubble wrap insulation stapled to the underside of the rafters would eliminate the rising heat loss. A few ceiling fans to push the heat down.
Also, a metal can or bucket filled with sand, a few feet away will absorb heat, and slowly radiate it into the room when the heaters off . 10' X 25' plastic drop cloth for rafters and roll-up door is a $1 at H. F.
I work up in Alaska and we would point the heater at large metal objects in the shop ie large tool box or engine blocks. It helps keep some radiant heat around. Not to hot your just trying to warm them up .
Hot air rises FAST. The reason you can't feel the heat several feet away is because once you get beyond the forward air velocity from the fan, it's going straight to the ceiling. Let it run for a while and then climb up that ladder behind you and you'll understand immediately. The advertised 1350 sqft is likely under an 8' ceiling. You need to sheet the bottom of the trusses with something. Drywall, plywood, Styrofoam, even cardboard. Anything to keep the hot air down. If you don't want to do that much work, put in some ceiling fans. If you only care about warming the area around a car, put a fan behind the heater and you'll get more forward distance. You're going to get tired of swapping out those BBQ tanks. Get 2) 100lb bottles. The second bottle will probably give you a few weeks to find a convenient time to get the first one filled.
I love kerosene heaters because it reminds me of being a kid out in the garage with my dad working on cars (learning, holding the light the wrong way, and handing him tools lol).
😂😂...Yeah, I held the light the wrong way as well! My dad's been gone for 9 years, but today is his birthday...so I am happy to be reminded about the light. It was like torture back then though!
I have the big brother of this, 160,000BTU model I've had it over 30 years which is not so dusty for the £200 i paid for it (brand new). When I had my 1450sq ft shop, about as tall as yours, It would bring the shop from "ice on the floor outside" to "warm enough to spray cellulose paint in" in about an hour and a half if run flat out. But once it was up to temp you could screw it down to 2-3/10 and it'd be fine the rest of the day. Used like this 8 hours a day 5 days a week with winter temps hovering around zero (C) a 50kg bottle of gas (the 5ft tall one) would last about 3 weeks. Now i'm retired and only have a measly 400 sq ft to heat, I rarely use it, mainly, if it's cold enough to NEED it, it's too cold to want to go out and fire it up! In the UK and Europe all propane/butane bottles except the very small ones that clip over have the LH thread, it's a safety thing so you don't get them mixed up with oxygen.
Ventless heaters not only produce CO2, they also produce H2O. The water vapor will condense on any cold surface. This will cause rust on bare metal and can cause problems with your walls and ceiling. I ran a wall mounted ventless gas heater that caused condensation damage to my garage. I now have a 60k btu vented, ceiling mounted furnace that has worked great for many years without the condensation issues. I'm from Minnesota where heat is needed 24/7 if you ever want to use the garage. Keeping the concrete slab from freezing makes working in the garage so much better when its below freezing outside. If I built a new garage, in-floor heating would be the way to go.
I just finished my 30x30 shop. I rolled out 3-300 foot rolls of 1/2 “ pex tubing 1 foot apart under the concrete. I then hooked it to a distribution manifold. I hook a gas hot water heater to the closed loop system with expansion tank and pump in the loop. I have a thermostat hooked to the pump. I start heating my floor to 70* when the outside temperature drops to and below 70*. Once you get the floor temperature at your preferred temperature it is easily maintained. I also have a mini split unit that cools and heats. 70* year round in the building.
yeah exactly, you don't want to put more moisture in the air than there already is, even without it, condensation will form on cold surfaces just from the moisture that comes up from the ground or from the air you exhale. IR/radiant heaters are the best choice for localized heating but won't heat the entire shop.
Possibly the hot air is camping up at that high ceiling. Perhaps a fan blowing cool air up into the ceiling will stir the air in the room and make it warmer down at work level.
I use a kerosene torpedo in my garage. I was able to adjust the fuel flow so that it burns very lean, so now there is no smell and the the kerosene lasts a bit longer. My garage is very old and not insulated, but the heater is 80,000 BTU so it still keeps it warm enough.
Finally I can give YOU advice.. besides an old car guy im an hvac contractor of 47 years. The hotter the air, the faster it rises .. i bet if you use a temp gun youd find the ceiling is quite warm. Cheap fix.. hang a 20 " cheap box fan horizontal blowing down over your work area set to low or medium.. youll be amazed of the difference. I use a 50k kerosene and my fan blows down and under my car ! If you like it, get a bigger tank for outside and a longer hose run through the wall. Youll find a 20 lb wont last very long at all.
Get a little wood stove and a ceiling fan! Nothing better than watching a fire burn as you sip coffee and puff burners and tell the world of mopar glories past! 🤣
As I work either in a garage or a very small shop, depending on where I am, this would be absolute perfection. Instead of buying a big, nasty smelling, loud kerosene heater, I rather have something like this. In fact, thank you for posting this as a friend and I were discussing him getting a kerosene heater, and I think he will prefer this as well!
Tony for this application you should have check out “diesel air heater”. It’s a sealed diesel combustion chamber with intake and exhaust routed out of the building, but the combustion chamber is shaped like a big heat sink, and there’s a fan blowing over the “heat sink” allowing the heat generated by the diesel combustion to be circulated through your shop without any of the harmful gases. And the diesel air heater puts out a dry heat. The propane heater puts out very humid heat. My wrenches started to rust after I used a propane torpedo heater in my garage.
any product that survives the U.T.'s "unpacking" job should get the thumb's up...!...🤭stay warm U.T...im with ya...i hate the cold...!.."endless summer" 👍👍👍
Brother Tony, don’t forget to open the door slightly. You need fresh air to run that in an enclosed space. That’s in the manual you didn’t read. 😂. Secondly, pick up a low cost ceiling fan to blow the heat down, that will make a big difference. Good luck and stay safe.
@VerifiedVIPMember kersone burns clean. You must not be old enough to remember the stand up kersone heaters that nearly every broke family had in the 90s in their living rooms 😂
A few years back, anything from HF was usually pretty bad. They have turned a corner where they are the modern "Sears" in that they provide decent quality tools at decent prices, much how Sears did for much of the 20th century and beyond (until a few years back).
Can't go by square feet, gotta use cubic feet. Your high roof limits the efficiency of it. Just putting a thin plastic barrier attached to the rafters would really help hold the heat in. Metal building doesn't help either.
I use a similar model heater in my living room in the winter. It gets down to like 50 deg in there. Works fantastic. It is a little noisy, no big deal. I open the slider about a foot for air. Installed CO2 detector. It's never gone off. Run a strong fan aimed toward the ceiling every once in awhile to bring down the heat. Get one of those pedestal fans from Harbor Freight and aim it at the ceiling. It will help a lot.
Set it on the floor, level it so its not blowing upward. These things work great in a traditional home garage with an 8-10 foot ceiling..but in your shop the warm air is going straight to your high ceiling. Maybe add a ceiling fan to keep air circulating.. Check the temps up high, see if I'm fulla baloney before wasting the effort,
If you’re going to be in this location for a while, you might want to look into a heat pump setup. They have improved drastically in recent years, and can be used as both a heater in the winter and AC in the summer. You can get the full setup for under $1000, and the installation is not that complicated, I’m sure you could do it yourself.
@@michaellehmann2803 considering the temp swing and humidity where he's located, that's good advice. Would also allow the doors to be shut in the summer while making videos. 👍
A good addition to one of those propane heaters is one of those big like 36” barn fans to set behind it a ways and get all the air in the shop circulating otherwise all your hot air just goes right up to the ceiling and stays there. Also put it on the floor and I generally put something under the back of it to almost point it down towards the concrete so you get some radiant heat coming up off the floor.
My handyman and his girlfriend (handywoman) are a good team. When WE chuck the directions and go straight to work she reads them over for when we make a mistake! It usually saves time...
After 40 some years I finally got heat in the barn 50,000 BTU in the section of heat 24x36 9-in ceilings insulated. Two of those would be better One is adequate. Natural gas units on the ceiling
My shop is a 2 1/2 car garage and I have this very same heater..... it is mounted halfway up the wall on a board screwed to the top shelf, of my shelving unit.... and it works perfectly. I have used it for 2 years and have no complaints whatsoever.
i bought a similar one from Lowes a craftsman and it is AMAZING. it does use quite a bit of propane in 10 hours but its great. it has my building at 80 degrees constant. amazing!!!
Shop I worked in, used to angle fans to move hot air from ceiling, ricochet it back to floor, shop felt a lot better doing that. Really need fan to move the hot air around.
The advertised 1300 sq ft ignores the air temp to begin with. The outside temp makes a big difference. They also only talk about square ft and ignore the ceiling height (so did you). If you only had a 8 ft ceiling it would easily heat the area they clam. All the heat in your shop has gone to the roof. I don't need to repeat what everyone else says, but a couple of fans would put the heat down where it will do a lot more good. We have two in our shop and the ceiling isn't as high as yours. Makes a huge difference.
Tony don't even fool around with that thing IF you have natural gas or a big propane hot dog looking tank on site, then go to the big box stores this time of year only and get a wall mounted ventless 30,000 BTU heater. It will keep that whole shop about 68 deg and cost about $30-$40 per month. I've spent 55 years in Detroit and my last house turned my insulated and paneling 24x22 garage 75 degrees with a doggy door. 2 dog beds in front of the heater where the thermometer read up to 82 degrees all winter long. The dogs had the biggest dog house ever and LOVED IT. I had an automatic feeder and watering contraption for the time I was single and at work. When home I spent most of my time in the garage anyway, even in the winter. It was T-shirt weather in there soon as you walked in. Maggie the yellow lab would bounce out the doggie door and play in 18inches of snow and have a blast. Come in and get a drink of water then lay down in front of the heat. She and Shadow the black lab/chow mix would snore so loud I had to turn up the stereo. You need about 30,000 reliable BTU's for that place of yours. Maybe invest in some insulation later and build some rafter storage with thin 7/16 particle board for your ceiling over your bench and sitting and filming area. I copper lined a natural gas tube from an outdoor BBQ charmglow that was already there, I buried it, then black piped it to the heater. Best purchase ever. 20 years ago. I no longer live there since 2022 but this house will eventually get the treatment too.
This may be TMI but one could work in their underwear in that garage if they wished to do so...not that I ever did. When I was single I kept hoping a hot gal would come by and my plan was to turn the heat on high and play a form of automotive mechanics strip poker, but that never actually happened.
Not even close. Those heaters are only half of what that Harbors Freight heater is in BTU. He's in a poorly insulated shop with high ceilings, he would need around 200,000 BTUs to actually get the place warm.
Our insulated 100+50 hangar with an 8" thick slab hasn't had a water bottle freeze out there in probably 10yrs. I keep one on the bench. Needs a few weeks of single digits to do that. Compared to the previous building that was in the same spot, the insulation is made all the difference. We closed off the back 25 feet into a heated shop with all the equipment in there just using standard baseboard . The temperature fluctuations and dampness with change don't occur as much.
yes put the tubing down, that way its there if you want to get a boiler or diy system, i love my floor heat but im not so fond of paying the electric company rates on the electric boiler.
Just make sure to vent it somehow. If not and it's closed up, and you get some hot humid days in May everything metal will sweat and surface rust. Ask me how I know... 😑😣
@@animoetprudentia2865 Good point, and some air changout is healthy in any structure - code in many cases demands vents for a garage space. Moisture drives: hot to cold, high pressure to low pressure. And mainly, when I say insulate, I mean spray closed cell foam [or use xps kind of sheets] before the pour to prevent heat sinking as weather drops below 50. As for steel laying about, a drum style dehumidifier is brilliant in all conditions - just needs two ducts to outside to provide a regeneration air circuit. If you adjust [intake] dampers right...the dehumidifier can set positive pressure in a space - something in the range of 0.05" to 0.08" wc [doors closed] is fine for general purposes.
All the heat is in the ceiling. I'll bet if you went up that ladder you'd definitely feel a difference in ambient temperature. Placing the heater on the floor would give better results as well.
I've heard people say propane heaters create a lot of moisture in the shop and rusts their tools so im a little reluctant to get one. Im looking into picking up one of those diesel heaters which cost about the same.
The moisture isn't produced by the heater. Well it is just not the way you describe. When cold objects gets warmer too fast, water vapor condensates on the surface of said objects. It's the same thing as water collecting on a cold glass on a hot day.. Heat up the garage slowly and that won't happen.
@@RejectReality97 Burning propane does produce water. Water and carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide too if combustion isn’t complete. It may not add a ton of humidity but it will add some.
Hot air rising to the ceiling has already been mentioned. A couple of cheap ceiling fans would go a long way toward forcing that hot air back down where it's needed.
I just bought this today too! Plus a 30lbs propane tank. I had it running in my shop which is about the size to fit 3 cars and I was sweating with it on low .. outside temp was 38 today in chicago. Highly recommend this heater!! Also, I turned the black knob the wrong direction for 5 minutes myself too 🤣
Hey Tony, Tim here, I just bought a similar dude, 60k BTU , less fancy, was $80......my garage is a 2 bay 24x24....normal ceiling, as I have a loft above......its a fairly tighter space than urs, and it kicks butt!!.....was 45° out the other morn, fired it up for a half hour......was tolerable/reasonable in the shop, and I got work done, w/o being to cold to do anything......I LIKE propane bullet heaters.......mine works great for my application......urs is a bit nicer, but u got ALOT more sq ft to heat......if u did 2 of 'em one at each end, I think u'd be happy as crap!!...just a thought, as I DONT like kerosene, cuz of the stink and noise.....PEACE my brother!
Nice heater, I'll get one. If you have a large (approx 3 ft. diameter) fan made for shops you can circulate the heavy colder air up toward the ceiling where the hot air from the heater is going. That'll help raise up the temperature at the ground level a lot quicker. That heater puts out so much heat, you could use it to fire a hot air balloon.....kits are available online!
@@nys-gto8042in a shop environment you’ll want a furnace with a sealed combustion chamber. These do not draw combustion air from the space being heated.
I bought one. Craftsman and a lot of the other brands are all the same. Works great for me. I have an off brand, but like I said, they are all made in the same china factory.
Buy one of them car tents. Bolt weld caster wheels to it. Then roll it around in the shop over the car you want to work on.. Put it up in the middle of the shop, let it run for a hour or 2 heating it with that you will be wearing shorts and a t shirt. The rest of the shop will warm up as well
You can get any btu propane heater. I have a few 250,000 btu non powered units. Just a flame, looks like a mushroom heater. But you need a bigger tank so it won't freeze the tank. A small tank can not supply a big amount of fuel without freezing up.
i love you, uncle tony. i'm part italian, born in northwestern pee-yay. you feel like family to me. you're the crazy cool uncle i wish i had. thank you for all you and uncle cathy do. you good-a people. grazie.
Have you seen the Vevor Diesel heaters? Look them up, people seem to love them. I had one but I gave it to my brother. It works great!! They're about $90
UT should get a used pellet stove should heat that garage pretty good on low setting a 40lb bag at about $7.00 a bag will last 24 hrs. load it up before you leave for the night and come in the next morning to a warm shop and no sweating of anything made of metal.
@@RejectReality97 Pellet stoves are designed to run 24 hrs a day safely, The fire is contained and the only way for it to get out is through negligence. You basically clean out the ash pan once a day and load it with pellets.
Tony, I'm watching this video in my garage that I heat with same type of heater. Got me through a cold winter of restoring my '72 Swinger. These bullet-style heaters do the job in a three car garage with 10 foot ceilings
Bunch of good advice here but I want to add that I've found the best heater for a high ceiling is a radiant tube type. It's basically a long metal pipe with a heater on one end (I used natural gas) and a reflector above. Had a 1600 sq ft shop north of NYC in an uninsulated concrete block building. It originally had the classic garage heater blowing down into the space. With that heater the loft would be 80+ degF and down by the floor it would be 50deg. With the radiant the floor would be about 65deg and that heat rises upso my feet would be warm, the tools and cars would be warm so I could keep the thermostat at a lower setting and still be comfortable. Saved a lot of $! PS the radiant heater is also very quiet.
Make sure the upper roof trusses are insulated and stapled to the trusses then if possible use plastic sheeting to help seal the heat in more . I would if possible go buy a 180,000 btu Beacon Morris or MR heater celing furnace and hang from the rafters and either run a 500 gallon propane tank or if you have a natural gas line on the property you can get tapped into the furnace with the correct gas regulators and the correct jets for the regulator in the furnace and this will heat your shop much better & it will stay warmer . I live in rural Wisconsin and it gets damn cold in the winters and i did this for my shop and it was the best thing ive done to it to have good clean cheap heat . I edited this because you should also have fans between the lower roof trusses to help push the heat back down to the floor to help circulation of the heat more & the reason for the truss mounted heaters is it gives you more room on the shop floor & its out of the way . About the only better thing to do would be to have in floor heating like my buddies shop has that is quite big with a lift & everything needed to work on the hot rods and muscle cars as well as rat rods we work on & build to sell . Welders tig mig & plasma cutter cutting torches hydraulic press 250,000 lb and a lathe plus a down draft paint booth and his shop is partially heated by in floor heat and a 180,000 btu MR heater over head heater and it stays nice and warm like t shirt warm when its 15- 20 minus outside in the winter some years . We both have bad arthritis mostly in our hands and for me once it gets down into the 30s my right hand locks up and quits working so i got to have heat in my shop to work on my stuff or im basically screwed on getting anything done with out heat . Once the day is over i turn the heat down from 65 degrees to 50-55 because all of the metal steel in my shop holds the heat overnight so when I come in the morning the shop warms up fast. I also leave my tool box shelves cracked open so my tools stay warm and wont get any condensation on them by doing this . Your carks bikes tools will thank you for doing this lol because it helps them get fixed or rebuilt quicker during the evil bad blizzard winter man 😆 .
My family had one of those heaters, it was like a mini jet engine. It definitely got heated things up in a hurry! I honestly thought for a moment that I could smell that thing running through the screen.
I was am HVAC guy for 25 years... I jammed a used 4 ton heat pump split system in my 4 car detached garage.... I can get it as cool or hot as I want....
I agree with your assessment. They work OK for keeping you from freezing to death if it ain't too cold and it's pointed at you. In Minnesota, they're pretty worthless. Friend had one, and we had to point it at the 100 pound tank to keep it from freezing up. So it didn't do us any good working in a 40x80 concrete building that day. A wood stove is really the way to go in an uninsulated garage, but that's not always possible.
Volume is more important than square footage. Also the amount of metal in the room; you have a high ceiling plus lots of metal that will take many hours to "heat soak".
I'd build a simple DIY removable cabin to work on winter months. Something around your working bench and big enough to fit one car. The roof could be a wooden frame with fireproof and light material like emergency warm blankets (the silver/golden ones) that you could lower or rise with a pulley. For the two walls you could also build the same kind of removable wooden panels or something fancier like some kind of canvas roll on the wall that you just need to pull. For that cabin size the simplest $10 electric heater would suffice. I used to improvise them simply using painter plastic sheets and they worked amazingly.
9.88' is 3 meters which makes sense being from West Taiwan (china). Others have pointed out pointing it at a large piece of metal and ceiling fans to blow the heat back down. We used them in house construction and they were good to take the bite out of the cold but it was still cold.
Tony - A few things. BTW, HVAC pro here. The square footage rating on it is more for a home application, and even then just an estimate. You're in a poorly insulated building with high ceilings, so you'll need far more heat than a 2500 square foot home would need. Best type of heating for a shop like that is ceiling mounted radiant heaters. Radiant heats objects more than just air, you can feel them almost immediately. If you have one above where you're working, kick it on and within 5-10 minutes it's pretty nice because it's warming your body. Assuming you don't have natural gas there, propane would be the better choice, but you'll need a minimum of a 100 gallon tank outside. I would get about a 100,000 BTU heater of that type, and two overheat would be better still because it's along, skinny space. If not propane, your best bet would be a heat pump from a cost of operation standpoint. But, you'll need a big one. a 5tton unit would only give you about as much heat as that Harbor Freight heater is producing. With your skills, you could install one of the DIY mini-split systems, and you would have some air conditioning as well. But again, overhead radiant is your best bet for just heat. But, make sure you won't flammable vapors in there, or boom.
I bought a 200,000 BTU Mr. Heater Propane Portable Convection Heater, at tractor supply last year. I think it was like 135 bucks. No electric required. It's pretty quiet. I guarantee you that on high it will make your shop so hot you'll be sweating wearing a t shirt.
I have a double car garage here in Ohio that can get pretty damned cold. I bought this very same heater last winter. It heated OK but as far as fuel consumption goes it sucks. I was lucky to get 4 to 5 hours of heat from a full tank. And as I'm sure you're aware of when your in the shop workin 5 hours is nothing. I could cook through 2 cylinders in a day with no problem. way too much $$$$$$$ for my comfort. This Fall I gave it to my Son and I bought an 80 thousand BTU kerosine torpedo heater from TEMU for $136. It came in less than a week and this thing is awesome! The other day I got 12 hours on one tank running at 62 degrees on the thermostat. It kicks on and off with no problems. It may be a little noiser and have the diesel smell but I dont mind it at all. Its a nice heater for the price.
I did the ceiling in my 30 x 40 shop by myself using 4 x 8 sheets of 2" thick styrofoam with aluminum foil on one side. Inexpensive, lightweight, the foil helps a great deal with lighting & shop is WAY easier to heat. I have a propane Mr. Heater furnace hanging from the joists.
Uncle Tony... 1300 SF, with a standard 8' ceiling ...Looks like you got about 12' to the joists and another 4' to the ridge...your heating the eves space above you ( hot air rises) Give yourself like a 10~12 foot ceiling and buy the next size up heater, you'll be nice and toasty. P.S., RTFM The heater you have is basically for a standard 1 to 2 car home garage with an 8 to 9 foot ceiling. Dewalt and Milwaukee make these same type heaters in various sizes run on battery , last for days, battery only powering the fan (with plug in option) you can freely move them around no cord work great.
I run one of these from menards for my garage/ shop and it's great! Propane I've found its better then the old torpedo units that would fume you out of the work space.. these little units kick ass!
Just put a medium or large Waste oil burner in and 2 HD Ceiling fans and you're ready to go .. As for the Bauer Heater its only good for a one stall garage for raid heat not for long time use very noisy and a huge Hunger of propane
My old workshop had an old Reznor gas fan forced hester up in the rafters. That thing was great. My only issue with a lot of these newer units is that they are made out of Chineseum.
I live in Georgia and bought one like that years ago from Lowe’s I believe. I use it in a two car garage that isn’t insulated, and have to cycle it on and off after a while because it works that well.
I had a shop about your size and I used one of those big torpedo heaters. It was rated at 200,000 BTUs. I burned mostly kerosene in it, but it also would burn off-road diesel. My shop was comfortable but it was in Virginia, not NY, so not as severe in winter. You should consider a hot air furnace. Maybe pick up a used one and put it in a corner somewhere. You need to have some heat on during your off hours to heat up everything in the room and retain some heat in the large metal things.
We used an old gas bbq it smelled a bit but worked good. Coleman stove or lantern works good too. Nothing beats a wood stove takes a bit of time but worth the wait.
Princess Auto has been selling these style heaters for over ten years now. Great little things. It gets -35 on average around here and it heats the shop to +30 in Minutes.
3 things wrong here. Heater should be on the floor. Heat is rising to the peak of the roof, so insulated bubble wrap insulation stapled to the underside of the rafters would eliminate the rising heat loss. A few ceiling fans to push the heat down.
True enough.
Also, a metal can or bucket filled with sand, a few feet away will absorb heat, and slowly radiate it into the room when the heaters off . 10' X 25' plastic drop cloth for rafters and roll-up door is a $1 at H. F.
Convection :
Warm Air Rises
Cold Air Drops
Heat Radiates In All Directions
@@outlawbillionairez9780a 30 gal waste oil drum works well
yup, thermal dynamics is a real thing
I work up in Alaska and we would point the heater at large metal objects in the shop ie large tool box or engine blocks. It helps keep some radiant heat around. Not to hot your just trying to warm them up .
Hot air rises FAST. The reason you can't feel the heat several feet away is because once you get beyond the forward air velocity from the fan, it's going straight to the ceiling. Let it run for a while and then climb up that ladder behind you and you'll understand immediately. The advertised 1350 sqft is likely under an 8' ceiling. You need to sheet the bottom of the trusses with something. Drywall, plywood, Styrofoam, even cardboard. Anything to keep the hot air down. If you don't want to do that much work, put in some ceiling fans. If you only care about warming the area around a car, put a fan behind the heater and you'll get more forward distance. You're going to get tired of swapping out those BBQ tanks. Get 2) 100lb bottles. The second bottle will probably give you a few weeks to find a convenient time to get the first one filled.
exactly,..you would need several hours to get it moderate..grade 8 stuff
I love kerosene heaters because it reminds me of being a kid out in the garage with my dad working on cars (learning, holding the light the wrong way, and handing him tools lol).
I fuvking hated holding the torch for my dad.
😂😂...Yeah, I held the light the wrong way as well! My dad's been gone for 9 years, but today is his birthday...so I am happy to be reminded about the light. It was like torture back then though!
I have the big brother of this, 160,000BTU model I've had it over 30 years which is not so dusty for the £200 i paid for it (brand new). When I had my 1450sq ft shop, about as tall as yours, It would bring the shop from "ice on the floor outside" to "warm enough to spray cellulose paint in" in about an hour and a half if run flat out. But once it was up to temp you could screw it down to 2-3/10 and it'd be fine the rest of the day. Used like this 8 hours a day 5 days a week with winter temps hovering around zero (C) a 50kg bottle of gas (the 5ft tall one) would last about 3 weeks. Now i'm retired and only have a measly 400 sq ft to heat, I rarely use it, mainly, if it's cold enough to NEED it, it's too cold to want to go out and fire it up!
In the UK and Europe all propane/butane bottles except the very small ones that clip over have the LH thread, it's a safety thing so you don't get them mixed up with oxygen.
Yup, north america also . I think that's a universal thing, fuel is left hand and other gasses get right hand threads,
I have a bunch of Bauer cordless tools from Harbor Freight and every one has turned out to be a good buy .
Ventless heaters not only produce CO2, they also produce H2O. The water vapor will condense on any cold surface. This will cause rust on bare metal and can cause problems with your walls and ceiling. I ran a wall mounted ventless gas heater that caused condensation damage to my garage. I now have a 60k btu vented, ceiling mounted furnace that has worked great for many years without the condensation issues. I'm from Minnesota where heat is needed 24/7 if you ever want to use the garage. Keeping the concrete slab from freezing makes working in the garage so much better when its below freezing outside. If I built a new garage, in-floor heating would be the way to go.
That explains the mold on the joists in my garage
I just finished my 30x30 shop. I rolled out 3-300 foot rolls of 1/2 “ pex tubing 1 foot apart under the concrete. I then hooked it to a distribution manifold. I hook a gas hot water heater to the closed loop system with expansion tank and pump in the loop. I have a thermostat hooked to the pump. I start heating my floor to 70* when the outside temperature drops to and below 70*. Once you get the floor temperature at your preferred temperature it is easily maintained. I also have a mini split unit that cools and heats. 70* year round in the building.
yeah exactly, you don't want to put more moisture in the air than there already is, even without it, condensation will form on cold surfaces just from the moisture that comes up from the ground or from the air you exhale. IR/radiant heaters are the best choice for localized heating but won't heat the entire shop.
#1 put it on the floor #2 your shop is bigger than the heater is made for with no flat ceiling
Possibly the hot air is camping up at that high ceiling. Perhaps a fan blowing cool air up into the ceiling will stir the air in the room and make it warmer down at work level.
Need a ceiling fan up in ceiling and it will be a whole different animal
Next week...

Totally spontaneous 😂😂😂
Spot on

For sure
I use a kerosene torpedo in my garage. I was able to adjust the fuel flow so that it burns very lean, so now there is no smell and the the kerosene lasts a bit longer. My garage is very old and not insulated, but the heater is 80,000 BTU so it still keeps it warm enough.
My 50, OOO on off road diesel 😊
Use clear kerosene.
@@johnroberts4823I use that as well.
Finally I can give YOU advice.. besides an old car guy im an hvac contractor of 47 years. The hotter the air, the faster it rises .. i bet if you use a temp gun youd find the ceiling is quite warm. Cheap fix.. hang a 20 " cheap box fan horizontal blowing down over your work area set to low or medium.. youll be amazed of the difference. I use a 50k kerosene and my fan blows down and under my car ! If you like it, get a bigger tank for outside and a longer hose run through the wall. Youll find a 20 lb wont last very long at all.
if your garage is insulated and with 220V get 1 or 2 electric heaters and wire them in. cleanest way to go.
Get a little wood stove and a ceiling fan! Nothing better than watching a fire burn as you sip coffee and puff burners and tell the world of mopar glories past! 🤣
I like that idea alot!
I use a wood/coal fire place to heat my shop also it's a nice set up
Tony doesn't look like the type to go cut wood. It can get expensive buying wood.
As I work either in a garage or a very small shop, depending on where I am, this would be absolute perfection. Instead of buying a big, nasty smelling, loud kerosene heater, I rather have something like this. In fact, thank you for posting this as a friend and I were discussing him getting a kerosene heater, and I think he will prefer this as well!
Tony for this application you should have check out “diesel air heater”. It’s a sealed diesel combustion chamber with intake and exhaust routed out of the building, but the combustion chamber is shaped like a big heat sink, and there’s a fan blowing over the “heat sink” allowing the heat generated by the diesel combustion to be circulated through your shop without any of the harmful gases. And the diesel air heater puts out a dry heat. The propane heater puts out very humid heat. My wrenches started to rust after I used a propane torpedo heater in my garage.
any product that survives the U.T.'s "unpacking" job should get the thumb's up...!...🤭stay warm U.T...im with ya...i hate the cold...!.."endless summer" 👍👍👍
Brother Tony, don’t forget to open the door slightly. You need fresh air to run that in an enclosed space. That’s in the manual you didn’t read. 😂. Secondly, pick up a low cost ceiling fan to blow the heat down, that will make a big difference. Good luck and stay safe.
Yes, and it put unhealthy emissions.
I doubt that garage is airtight!
@VerifiedVIPMember kersone burns clean. You must not be old enough to remember the stand up kersone heaters that nearly every broke family had in the 90s in their living rooms 😂
@@RejectReality97 I recall. I'm referring to propane.
Bauer is very good. Love their tools and appliances.
A few years back, anything from HF was usually pretty bad. They have turned a corner where they are the modern "Sears" in that they provide decent quality tools at decent prices, much how Sears did for much of the 20th century and beyond (until a few years back).
I use this exact model in a 2 car garage with an 8' ceiling. It works great for me. It does go through propane fast.
Can't go by square feet, gotta use cubic feet. Your high roof limits the efficiency of it. Just putting a thin plastic barrier attached to the rafters would really help hold the heat in. Metal building doesn't help either.
I wonder what the temperature was if he had checked the rafters?
I use a similar model heater in my living room in the winter. It gets down to like 50 deg in there. Works fantastic. It is a little noisy, no big deal. I open the slider about a foot for air. Installed CO2 detector. It's never gone off. Run a strong fan aimed toward the ceiling every once in awhile to bring down the heat. Get one of those pedestal fans from Harbor Freight and aim it at the ceiling. It will help a lot.
Set it on the floor, level it so its not blowing upward.
These things work great in a traditional home garage with an 8-10 foot ceiling..but in your shop the warm air is going straight to your high ceiling.
Maybe add a ceiling fan to keep air circulating..
Check the temps up high, see if I'm fulla baloney before wasting the effort,
If you’re going to be in this location for a while, you might want to look into a heat pump setup. They have improved drastically in recent years, and can be used as both a heater in the winter and AC in the summer. You can get the full setup for under $1000, and the installation is not that complicated, I’m sure you could do it yourself.
@@michaellehmann2803 considering the temp swing and humidity where he's located, that's good advice. Would also allow the doors to be shut in the summer while making videos. 👍
A good addition to one of those propane heaters is one of those big like 36” barn fans to set behind it a ways and get all the air in the shop circulating otherwise all your hot air just goes right up to the ceiling and stays there. Also put it on the floor and I generally put something under the back of it to almost point it down towards the concrete so you get some radiant heat coming up off the floor.
I agree with everyone that the very high ceiling is the problem. Styrofoam sheets with the seams properly taped would make a huge difference.
Aluminum bubble foil tacked up to.the trusses and 2 cheap ceiling fans turning slow to push the heat back down and that heater will work for you
My handyman and his girlfriend (handywoman) are a good team. When WE chuck the directions and go straight to work she reads them over for when we make a mistake! It usually saves time...
With this I wont get My head stuck in there. 🤣👌
Couple of ceiling fans would be a great help. Even tie wire a box fan to the rafters....
You will find that the heater will produce condensate during use. Other than that they are great little heaters.
'Cause water puts the "hydro" in hyrdrocarbons.
Instructions, We Don’t Need No Stinkin Instructions !
loved the temperature checks, good video
After 40 some years I finally got heat in the barn 50,000 BTU in the section of heat 24x36 9-in ceilings insulated. Two of those would be better One is adequate. Natural gas units on the ceiling
My shop is a 2 1/2 car garage and I have this very same heater..... it is mounted halfway up the wall on a board screwed to the top shelf, of my shelving unit.... and it works perfectly. I have used it for 2 years and have no complaints whatsoever.
It's so great to see our products on channels i sub to.
i bought a similar one from Lowes a craftsman and it is AMAZING. it does use quite a bit of propane in 10 hours but its great. it has my building at 80 degrees constant. amazing!!!
Shop I worked in, used to angle fans to move hot air from ceiling, ricochet it back to floor, shop felt a lot better doing that. Really need fan to move the hot air around.
The advertised 1300 sq ft ignores the air temp to begin with. The outside temp makes a big difference. They also only talk about square ft and ignore the ceiling height (so did you). If you only had a 8 ft ceiling it would easily heat the area they clam. All the heat in your shop has gone to the roof. I don't need to repeat what everyone else says, but a couple of fans would put the heat down where it will do a lot more good. We have two in our shop and the ceiling isn't as high as yours. Makes a huge difference.
Absolutely
Tony don't even fool around with that thing IF you have natural gas or a big propane hot dog looking tank on site, then go to the big box stores this time of year only and get a wall mounted ventless 30,000 BTU heater. It will keep that whole shop about 68 deg and cost about $30-$40 per month. I've spent 55 years in Detroit and my last house turned my insulated and paneling 24x22 garage 75 degrees with a doggy door. 2 dog beds in front of the heater where the thermometer read up to 82 degrees all winter long. The dogs had the biggest dog house ever and LOVED IT. I had an automatic feeder and watering contraption for the time I was single and at work. When home I spent most of my time in the garage anyway, even in the winter. It was T-shirt weather in there soon as you walked in. Maggie the yellow lab would bounce out the doggie door and play in 18inches of snow and have a blast. Come in and get a drink of water then lay down in front of the heat. She and Shadow the black lab/chow mix would snore so loud I had to turn up the stereo.
You need about 30,000 reliable BTU's for that place of yours. Maybe invest in some insulation later and build some rafter storage with thin 7/16 particle board for your ceiling over your bench and sitting and filming area.
I copper lined a natural gas tube from an outdoor BBQ charmglow that was already there, I buried it, then black piped it to the heater. Best purchase ever. 20 years ago. I no longer live there since 2022 but this house will eventually get the treatment too.
This may be TMI but one could work in their underwear in that garage if they wished to do so...not that I ever did. When I was single I kept hoping a hot gal would come by and my plan was to turn the heat on high and play a form of automotive mechanics strip poker, but that never actually happened.
Yep
Not even close. Those heaters are only half of what that Harbors Freight heater is in BTU. He's in a poorly insulated shop with high ceilings, he would need around 200,000 BTUs to actually get the place warm.
Ceiling fans to push the heat back down. Most of the warmth is floating near the ceiling. Get on a ladder and check the temp
If I ever build my own garage... I'm insulating, laying in tubing, then pouring slab.
Our insulated 100+50 hangar with an 8" thick slab hasn't had a water bottle freeze out there in probably 10yrs.
I keep one on the bench.
Needs a few weeks of single digits to do that.
Compared to the previous building that was in the same spot, the insulation is made all the difference.
We closed off the back 25 feet into a heated shop with all the equipment in there just using standard baseboard .
The temperature fluctuations and dampness with change don't occur as much.
yes put the tubing down, that way its there if you want to get a boiler or diy system, i love my floor heat but im not so fond of paying the electric company rates on the electric boiler.
Just make sure to vent it somehow. If not and it's closed up, and you get some hot humid days in May everything metal will sweat and surface rust.
Ask me how I know... 😑😣
@@animoetprudentia2865 Good point, and some air changout is healthy in any structure - code in many cases demands vents for a garage space. Moisture drives: hot to cold, high pressure to low pressure. And mainly, when I say insulate, I mean spray closed cell foam [or use xps kind of sheets] before the pour to prevent heat sinking as weather drops below 50. As for steel laying about, a drum style dehumidifier is brilliant in all conditions - just needs two ducts to outside to provide a regeneration air circuit. If you adjust [intake] dampers right...the dehumidifier can set positive pressure in a space - something in the range of 0.05" to 0.08" wc [doors closed] is fine for general purposes.
"We don't need no stinking instructions!"😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Cold. I need heat to work. Great review. Thanks Tony
I agree with some of the other comments. At least place on floor and add a ceiling fan and blow that hot air back down to the ground.
All the heat is in the ceiling. I'll bet if you went up that ladder you'd definitely feel a difference in ambient temperature.
Placing the heater on the floor would give better results as well.
I've heard people say propane heaters create a lot of moisture in the shop and rusts their tools so im a little reluctant to get one. Im looking into picking up one of those diesel heaters which cost about the same.
The moisture isn't produced by the heater. Well it is just not the way you describe. When cold objects gets warmer too fast, water vapor condensates on the surface of said objects. It's the same thing as water collecting on a cold glass on a hot day.. Heat up the garage slowly and that won't happen.
Or you can heat it up really fast and the condensation evaporates quicker.
@@RejectReality97 Burning propane does produce water. Water and carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide too if combustion isn’t complete. It may not add a ton of humidity but it will add some.
My friend, you need a fan mounted up high to circulate the warm air
Hot air rising to the ceiling has already been mentioned. A couple of cheap ceiling fans would go a long way toward forcing that hot air back down where it's needed.
I just bought this today too! Plus a 30lbs propane tank. I had it running in my shop which is about the size to fit 3 cars and I was sweating with it on low .. outside temp was 38 today in chicago. Highly recommend this heater!!
Also, I turned the black knob the wrong direction for 5 minutes myself too 🤣
Hey Tony,
Tim here, I just bought a similar dude, 60k BTU , less fancy, was $80......my garage is a 2 bay 24x24....normal ceiling, as I have a loft above......its a fairly tighter space than urs, and it kicks butt!!.....was 45° out the other morn, fired it up for a half hour......was tolerable/reasonable in the shop, and I got work done, w/o being to cold to do anything......I LIKE propane bullet heaters.......mine works great for my application......urs is a bit nicer, but u got ALOT more sq ft to heat......if u did 2 of 'em one at each end, I think u'd be happy as crap!!...just a thought, as I DONT like kerosene, cuz of the stink and noise.....PEACE my brother!
Nice heater, I'll get one. If you have a large (approx 3 ft. diameter) fan made for shops you can circulate the heavy colder air up toward the ceiling where the hot air from the heater is going. That'll help raise up the temperature at the ground level a lot quicker. That heater puts out so much heat, you could use it to fire a hot air balloon.....kits are available online!
put a furnace and central air conditioner in your shop. I put one in my 2 1/2 car garage 20 years ago. you will not regret it.
For a small garage or shop? I wouldn't have anything except a Mr. Cool Mini Split, you can't beat them, I absolutely love mine
Always be aware of the oxygen consumption. I had a low oxygen situation years ago trying to heat a small warehouse.
He rents that shop.
2 1/2 car garage ? You mean 3 car garage ? Just curious
@@nys-gto8042in a shop environment you’ll want a furnace with a sealed combustion chamber. These do not draw combustion air from the space being heated.
Ceiling fans help tremendously with these kind of heaters to get the heat away from the ceiling and down on the floor where you need it
I bought one. Craftsman and a lot of the other brands are all the same. Works great for me. I have an off brand, but like I said, they are all made in the same china factory.
Buy one of them car tents. Bolt weld caster wheels to it. Then roll it around in the shop over the car you want to work on.. Put it up in the middle of the shop, let it run for a hour or 2 heating it with that you will be wearing shorts and a t shirt. The rest of the shop will warm up as well
I have an 18x25 garage, and bought one from tractor supply last year. Best money I ever spent. Kinda loud, but well worth money. You did good.
You can get any btu propane heater. I have a few 250,000 btu non powered units. Just a flame, looks like a mushroom heater. But you need a bigger tank so it won't freeze the tank. A small tank can not supply a big amount of fuel without freezing up.
In Canada in November 53 degrees is nice, at least the tools are not freezing
i love you, uncle tony. i'm part italian, born in northwestern pee-yay. you feel like family to me. you're the crazy cool uncle i wish i had. thank you for all you and uncle cathy do. you good-a people. grazie.
Have you seen the Vevor Diesel heaters? Look them up, people seem to love them. I had one but I gave it to my brother. It works great!! They're about $90
UT should get a used pellet stove should heat that garage pretty good on low setting a 40lb bag at about $7.00 a bag will last 24 hrs. load it up before you leave for the night and come in the next morning to a warm shop and no sweating of anything made of metal.
Yeah wood or pellet , even a new pelpro would do the job
Wood heated shops have been the nicest I've been in. Comfortable and smelled good.
Leaving a stove of any kind unattended is asking for a fire 😂 I don't care what setup you have that's just ignorant
@@RejectReality97 Pellet stoves are designed to run 24 hrs a day safely, The fire is contained and the only way for it to get out is through negligence. You basically clean out the ash pan once a day and load it with pellets.
Tony, I'm watching this video in my garage that I heat with same type of heater. Got me through a cold winter of restoring my '72 Swinger. These bullet-style heaters do the job in a three car garage with 10 foot ceilings
Bunch of good advice here but I want to add that I've found the best heater for a high ceiling is a radiant tube type. It's basically a long metal pipe with a heater on one end (I used natural gas) and a reflector above. Had a 1600 sq ft shop north of NYC in an uninsulated concrete block building. It originally had the classic garage heater blowing down into the space. With that heater the loft would be 80+ degF and down by the floor it would be 50deg. With the radiant the floor would be about 65deg and that heat rises upso my feet would be warm, the tools and cars would be warm so I could keep the thermostat at a lower setting and still be comfortable. Saved a lot of $! PS the radiant heater is also very quiet.
Make sure the upper roof trusses are insulated and stapled to the trusses then if possible use plastic sheeting to help seal the heat in more . I would if possible go buy a 180,000 btu Beacon Morris or MR heater celing furnace and hang from the rafters and either run a 500 gallon propane tank or if you have a natural gas line on the property you can get tapped into the furnace with the correct gas regulators and the correct jets for the regulator in the furnace and this will heat your shop much better & it will stay warmer . I live in rural Wisconsin and it gets damn cold in the winters and i did this for my shop and it was the best thing ive done to it to have good clean cheap heat . I edited this because you should also have fans between the lower roof trusses to help push the heat back down to the floor to help circulation of the heat more & the reason for the truss mounted heaters is it gives you more room on the shop floor & its out of the way . About the only better thing to do would be to have in floor heating like my buddies shop has that is quite big with a lift & everything needed to work on the hot rods and muscle cars as well as rat rods we work on & build to sell . Welders tig mig & plasma cutter cutting torches hydraulic press 250,000 lb and a lathe plus a down draft paint booth and his shop is partially heated by in floor heat and a 180,000 btu MR heater over head heater and it stays nice and warm like t shirt warm when its 15- 20 minus outside in the winter some years . We both have bad arthritis mostly in our hands and for me once it gets down into the 30s my right hand locks up and quits working so i got to have heat in my shop to work on my stuff or im basically screwed on getting anything done with out heat . Once the day is over i turn the heat down from 65 degrees to 50-55 because all of the metal steel in my shop holds the heat overnight so when I come in the morning the shop warms up fast. I also leave my tool box shelves cracked open so my tools stay warm and wont get any condensation on them by doing this . Your carks bikes tools will thank you for doing this lol because it helps them get fixed or rebuilt quicker during the evil bad blizzard winter man 😆 .
In my experience it should work pretty well. I'd probably get an extra tank of propane to keep on hand and just in case a CO monitor.
My family had one of those heaters, it was like a mini jet engine. It definitely got heated things up in a hurry! I honestly thought for a moment that I could smell that thing running through the screen.
A couple ceiling fans would help, it’s probably noticeably warmer up near the ceiling. Cold concrete floors, the bane of old boomers.
I was am HVAC guy for 25 years... I jammed a used 4 ton heat pump split system in my 4 car detached garage.... I can get it as cool or hot as I want....
I agree with your assessment. They work OK for keeping you from freezing to death if it ain't too cold and it's pointed at you. In Minnesota, they're pretty worthless. Friend had one, and we had to point it at the 100 pound tank to keep it from freezing up. So it didn't do us any good working in a 40x80 concrete building that day.
A wood stove is really the way to go in an uninsulated garage, but that's not always possible.
Volume is more important than square footage. Also the amount of metal in the room; you have a high ceiling plus lots of metal that will take many hours to "heat soak".
I'd build a simple DIY removable cabin to work on winter months. Something around your working bench and big enough to fit one car. The roof could be a wooden frame with fireproof and light material like emergency warm blankets (the silver/golden ones) that you could lower or rise with a pulley. For the two walls you could also build the same kind of removable wooden panels or something fancier like some kind of canvas roll on the wall that you just need to pull. For that cabin size the simplest $10 electric heater would suffice. I used to improvise them simply using painter plastic sheets and they worked amazingly.
9.88' is 3 meters which makes sense being from West Taiwan (china). Others have pointed out pointing it at a large piece of metal and ceiling fans to blow the heat back down. We used them in house construction and they were good to take the bite out of the cold but it was still cold.
Tony - A few things. BTW, HVAC pro here. The square footage rating on it is more for a home application, and even then just an estimate. You're in a poorly insulated building with high ceilings, so you'll need far more heat than a 2500 square foot home would need. Best type of heating for a shop like that is ceiling mounted radiant heaters. Radiant heats objects more than just air, you can feel them almost immediately. If you have one above where you're working, kick it on and within 5-10 minutes it's pretty nice because it's warming your body. Assuming you don't have natural gas there, propane would be the better choice, but you'll need a minimum of a 100 gallon tank outside. I would get about a 100,000 BTU heater of that type, and two overheat would be better still because it's along, skinny space. If not propane, your best bet would be a heat pump from a cost of operation standpoint. But, you'll need a big one. a 5tton unit would only give you about as much heat as that Harbor Freight heater is producing. With your skills, you could install one of the DIY mini-split systems, and you would have some air conditioning as well. But again, overhead radiant is your best bet for just heat. But, make sure you won't flammable vapors in there, or boom.
I bought a 200,000 BTU Mr. Heater Propane Portable Convection Heater, at tractor supply last year. I think it was like 135 bucks. No electric required. It's pretty quiet. I guarantee you that on high it will make your shop so hot you'll be sweating wearing a t shirt.
I have a double car garage here in Ohio that can get pretty damned cold. I bought this very same heater last winter. It heated OK but as far as fuel consumption goes it sucks. I was lucky to get 4 to 5 hours of heat from a full tank. And as I'm sure you're aware of when your in the shop workin 5 hours is nothing. I could cook through 2 cylinders in a day with no problem. way too much $$$$$$$ for my comfort. This Fall I gave it to my Son and I bought an 80 thousand BTU kerosine torpedo heater from TEMU for $136. It came in less than a week and this thing is awesome! The other day I got 12 hours on one tank running at 62 degrees on the thermostat. It kicks on and off with no problems. It may be a little noiser and have the diesel smell but I dont mind it at all. Its a nice heater for the price.
Radiant heater is needed. Open flame heaters cause condensation on everything. Anything raw steel will rust rust rust.
You need to add some box fans in the rafters at the end of the shop pointing down. Get that circular flow moving you can bump temps up 10 degrees.
I did the ceiling in my 30 x 40 shop by myself using 4 x 8 sheets of 2" thick styrofoam with aluminum foil on one side. Inexpensive, lightweight, the foil helps a great deal with lighting & shop is WAY easier to heat.
I have a propane Mr. Heater furnace hanging from the joists.
Uncle Tony... 1300 SF, with a standard 8' ceiling ...Looks like you got about 12' to the joists and another 4' to the ridge...your heating the eves space above you ( hot air rises) Give yourself like a 10~12 foot ceiling and buy the next size up heater, you'll be nice and toasty. P.S., RTFM
The heater you have is basically for a standard 1 to 2 car home garage with an 8 to 9 foot ceiling.
Dewalt and Milwaukee make these same type heaters in various sizes run on battery , last for days, battery only powering the fan (with plug in option) you can freely move them around no cord work great.
I used to swear by my torpedo heater. Now I will never give up my diesel heater.
I run one of these from menards for my garage/ shop and it's great! Propane I've found its better then the old torpedo units that would fume you out of the work space.. these little units kick ass!
You are just like a big kid on Christmas day 😂😂😂😂😂 stay warm and safe.
Mine lasted a season. Gave me a spot to thaw out. Keep em coming. Enjoy your stuff ❤
Just put a medium or large Waste oil burner in and 2 HD Ceiling fans and you're ready to go .. As for the Bauer Heater its only good for a one stall garage for raid heat not for long time use very noisy and a huge Hunger of propane
Could of got a BBQ to that way it's always hot and ready to grill dogs
Damn, I love this channel.
My old workshop had an old Reznor gas fan forced hester up in the rafters. That thing was great.
My only issue with a lot of these newer units is that they are made out of Chineseum.
I live in Georgia and bought one like that years ago from Lowe’s I believe. I use it in a two car garage that isn’t insulated, and have to cycle it on and off after a while because it works that well.
Uncle Tony I think you will be happy with the Propane heater…another excellent option is a Chinese Diesel heater…they are crazy efficient.
I just bought a 220v 25000 btu electric heater on Amazon for $120!
Tony, get one more of these. Two working together should do the trick warming your shop up to a comfortable level.
I had a shop about your size and I used one of those big torpedo heaters. It was rated at 200,000 BTUs. I burned mostly kerosene in it, but it also would burn off-road diesel. My shop was comfortable but it was in Virginia, not NY, so not as severe in winter. You should consider a hot air furnace. Maybe pick up a used one and put it in a corner somewhere. You need to have some heat on during your off hours to heat up everything in the room and retain some heat in the large metal things.
We used an old gas bbq it smelled a bit but worked good. Coleman stove or lantern works good too. Nothing beats a wood stove takes a bit of time but worth the wait.
I came here for the Bauer heater review. Only I couldn't hear a word Uncle Tony said, because all I could focus on was the Buell Ulysses behind him!
Yeah make sure you get yourself a Carbon monoxide detector for the shop!
Princess Auto has been selling these style heaters for over ten years now. Great little things. It gets -35 on average around here and it heats the shop to +30 in Minutes.
Break out the hot dogs.
Don't forget the marshmallows.
You are going to have the best obit anywhere, especially if you happen to one-hand-it on your camera. Dude the first 11 minutes almost killed me. Lol.
