- Now I have a way to heat the workshop doesn't use electricity and it will work better during these cold times better than the Heat pump I currently am using to heat the shop.
The Flexible gas line is CSST - Corrugated Stainless Steel Tubing. And it really easy to use.

There is nothing in the world like grandpa's tools ❤
or Grandmas! I'm using pots for a long time now that are about 75 years old. Handles are in rough shape on some of them but they are my favorite pots to cook in.
Evan, as long as I have been watching your channel, I have not seen anything that you can't do, electric, gas, solar, plumbing, you have done it all and every job I watched was done professionally, so great job on the propane installation.
Evan is amazing!
He's great at doing hours worth of research and showing us how to did it in just minutes! Thank you Evan
Another very interesting n informative video !! Thanks for sharing
There is no better helper, than man's best friend 😊😊
Evan, be sure to plug the ends of your leftover flexible gas line to keep wasps, bees, and other small insects out.
That is very simple yet very smart advice. Thx.
Yes, ceiling fans would be good for heat distribution.
There is a ceiling fan in the workshop.
I love watching you do the projects that you do. Everything is done very neatly and professionally. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I always anxiously await your next adventure! Keep those videos coming!
That flexible gas line is a game changer. Nice job! -Ed
You should probably buy a couple of wifi carbon monoxide detectors. Don't know if you have any smart home devices that you can use with the detector. If not there are plenty of detectors on the market that will provide a notification to your phones. Don't know if the automatic propane shut off valves designed for RV's will work in your situation You probably need an automatic shut off if you're at work
Non vented propane heaters make a LOT of moisture. Something to consider if ran in a fairly tight area....the windows and even walls can start to sweat....
Turn on the ceiling fans and crack a window or two
They sure do. Have one in my garage. Switched to a mini-split and just use the propane one to help out when it gets really cold.
Tools rust, and ceiling plaster falls off from moisture of my Mr heater.
You may regret non-vented. Ran one about 5 days in attached garage. Went out to garage today and all the drywall seams cracked entire length of garage. Mine was also cheap yard sell find. Switching to vented, learned my lesson
As a 40 year HVAC technician I approve of all your work. Better than most of the installs I have seen by HVAC contractors. Well done.
Awesome job Evan, I sure like what your doing with your shop and farm as a whole. Good luck with the rest of the projects you have, thanks for all the information and sharing it with us. I hope you stay warm and have a good weekend!
Wow now I know how the gas line s work Thanks Evan for taking us along to another learning program,
One more great example of your work mate many thanks for sharing it and all the best to you all
You did a great job getting some heat into the dog kennel area.
Good step by step showing how to use the flex gas line and
and connecting parts to the DIY project. I have a 20,000 btu
propane heater I use during a power outage it work great!
Evan, the look your dog gave the camera as he lay on the shop sofa when you said you were starting the gas line rough-in for the kennel seemed to say…. “Evan, I’ll stay in here and guard the sofa, I hope you will be comfortable in the kennel”!🇨🇦🥶😂✌🏻👍🏻
A small oscillating fan set on low will help circulate the heat and even out the heat in your shop. I have small fan set to low on 24/7 in my shop. I have no hot or cold spots in my shop. Thanks for the episode.
Good video. I always do a pressure test anytime I mess with my propane lines or tanks (along with the soapy water test). Put a propane gage at the tank, turn on the gas for a minute then turn it off, if in a couple of hours, the gage doesn't go down you don't have a leak.
Hi Evan and Rebecca, just a quick message from an avid fan of yor channel from England. Firstly I love your honesty, when you make a mistake you don't edit it out which helps others to not make the same mistake. I'm also really impressed that you can both work full time jobs AND give all the animals the attention and care they deserve before freezer camp. Keep up the great work, I look forward to every video you post. All my best wishes for the future, Neil ❤❤❤
As always, great video!
-6, it’s warm. Just kidding. We’ve been as low as -33 this winter. Add wind, it’s darn cold.
Get a CO 2 monitor for the shop and kennel. The battery ones from Menards are good.
Evan, "ventless" heaters still need to be vented. An airtight room will be dangerous. The heater uses the oxygen in the room and expels carbon dioxide and some carbon monoxide.
You do outstanding work 👍👍👍👍
Options and more options. You can never have too many alternatives for survival mode. Good video, thanks!
I'm sure not trying to tell you how to do your job, but you might consider checking out the installation instructions. I've installed CSST multiple times. From the mfg instructions I believe you need to run a solid copper ground wire (lightning strikes pop holes in the stainless tubing) for that system. I hope you take this as it was meant to be- just a little helpful advice. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you.
Evan, I used to work for the company that imported the CSST hose from South Korea. We leak tested every hose and assembled all of the fittings like you used. Most of the time, this hose was run through a structure, through the framework, and steel plates attached to the 2 x 4’s in front of the hose as a nail stop. We use to sell to Menards and Lowes.
Not a tutorial, but very good info, much needed. Thanks cheers.
Very interesting , I love to watch your videos. I LOVE YOU GUYS !! 🥰🥰
Cannot believe the unlimited knowledge of tool use you have. Another job well done and so neatly and professionally installed. Kudos Evan! 👍👍👍
Evan, make sure you are following bonding procedures with CSST. Many houses have caught fire when CSST is not properly grounded/bonded.
I was thinking the same and just posted a comment to that effect.
Excellent tutorial or as you say 'demo' of how YOU install a propane wall mount heater. You covered every step in a relaxing manner so we can refer to it as we do our own installations more easily thanks to you. You explained the flexible, corrugated gas lines, the tools needed and the fastening to walls. Interesting, too is how you did it the safe, recommended way and ran solid black iron pipe where it needs protecting and only ran the flexible up high or the last 2 feet behind the heater. All in all you made a great video. I appreciate it and am sure everybody else does, too. Thanks!
Good to see you back on again I know it's been cold.
Great job , AGAIN, you sure are very knowledgeable, nice to see the dogs❤
I enjoy watching your videos Evan and Rebecca keep up the good work on the farm. It looks awesome.👍🏽🙂
Brrrrrrr! Thats cold! Thanks for the tips for staying warmer.
Congrats Evan, on finally getting around to installing the shop gas lines and heaters. I know the Dogs will like the heat..
Stay warm. 💕🙏
Thanks Evan like the video on Gas lines heater .
So happy to see you see you using Robertson screws (Canadian invention❣️🇨🇦) instead of the easily stripped Phillips one’s❣️🇨🇦☮️
And the dogs seem to enjoy the new heat too. Nice project, thanks for sharing.
Its like that good old cold front with Snow
Those space heaters like you are installing will put out more heat in ten minutes than central will all day. We have one in our sun room and during a power outage two years ago at minus two degrees it kept half of our house 50 degrees. wish I had one in every room.
Good Install! I have exactly the same heater and I LOVE it! I wish I had that big a TANK.
Again another great show.
Jim80
Great job Evan they're great heater's!
Outstanding Craftsman ship Evan!😇!😇!
Evan I always have enjoyed your channel and content of the farm Life of neverending chores
Learned a lot as to how these types of heating system work, and too, the cost of setup and to run, especially with use of electricity. "Thanks for sharing"!
You have enough area for oxygen in the shop but the dog kennel needs air coming in from outside. These are great heaters but they can be toxic! Great install and video!
Did you not watch the video ? each kennel has an outdoor that I guarantee isn't air tight ..
@@MrBubbahunt9 l'm saying you need a cracked window not air seeping through cracks in a door. Do your homework on these heaters and you may understand what I am talking about!
@@garyjohn316you can see the little doggy door flap. Do you reckon one big enough to allow an Aussie to fit through allows enough fresh air?
It looks pretty tight to me. When I use mine at my cabin, I will open a window about 10 inches. It's not fun waking up with condensation on your walls and throat so dry it's hard to breathe.@@bpdp379
That is not enough air, sorry! When I use the one in my cabin, I crack my window a good 8 in. or more. It's not fun waking up in the middle of the night with a very dry mouth and condensation on the walls.@@bpdp379
That was an interesting installation., Good job.
Great job looking great keep up the great work love your videos thank you
Those animals are well taken care of. Very lucky to have you taking care of them
Thank you for sharing! Stay warm!
Thanks Evan
Nice to meet you
Not gonna lie, you made that look super easy
hey Evan, can i suggest that when running gas piping, to install the shut off valve before the "T" instead of in the "branch" line as you did. that way when it comes time to clean out the debris in the "DEAD LEG or DIRT LEG" or when service is needed on the appliance, you can shut off the gas local to the work needed instead of the main gas line. also i commented a while back that it would have been better to install a ground mount for the solar so snow can be removed from it without climbing up onto the shop roof. stay warm up there in the cold country. jim in central florida
I agree on solar ground mounts. Who wants to deal with snow build-up on the panels when up on a roof?
Evan, timely video for me. About to do this type project and had already decided CSST was the way to go.
thx for sharing
Great post;
Never meet a man that didn't cuss a heat pump when it's needed most.
A wise man once said an able bodied soul with a FP insert
Is a warm soul even on the coldest of days
with or without electricity.
Btw love my backup LP gas units
both indoor and outdoor!
U be rite LP gas heat with thermostats R priceless
And save $$$$ big time!
Great video. I recommend taping or plugging the ends of the remaining role of tubing as bugs will build nests inside the tubing thus causing blockage when vou try to use it.
Man you’re doing a great job! Stay at it.
Always love interactions with the animals
Nice job Evan. These should help during cold days. I see your tractor in the back ground covered up. Blessings🙂
I love the flexible gas line. Great job well done.
Looks like a job well done. However, I would recommend a strap be added to the top of the heater in the kennel to prevent the dogs from accidentally tipping it over. And with the one in the workshop I would add a screw at the bottom of the unit to make sure it isn't accidentally lifted off of it's mounting bracket. ( It'll also come in handy at holding things in place in case of an earthquake. 😏)
Im here with ya brother. I'm in Illinois not that far from you. This cold snap has been a real B. Well house heater failed and froze up. Hand hauling water to the animals until it thaws. Another great video Evan...stay warm and stay safe guys.
150,000 subscribers. Congratulations. It's been fun watching that number grow over the years! God bless
Good Day,winter has arrived here in Vermont,cold,not much snow,been a wierd year,i burn wood,luv it.
Great video Evan, you’re a talented guy. I must say that I’m very envious of you because I see you do these types of projects with solar, electrical and now this propane heater installation without pulling any permits and getting it inspected. In my area around Seattle we’d have to get a permit for so many of the projects you do. You’re so lucky.
It’s cool here to they look great should stay warm!!
👍👍👍👍👍👌Very well done nice project to get some heat in the shop when you are not there to feed the fire!!!
Very nice , thanks for sharing !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️
You have all the tools of a rich man
It sure is cold and glad you got your heaters hooked up...I was the 1K to like this video and I thought that was pretty cool...Sure enjoying watching your videos and thanks for sharing...stay warm...Love Hugs Happiness and Prayers...💗😇🙏🏻
You were taking about wood stoves replacement. I use a Earth wood stove that heats my home which is around 2000 square feet. It burns about 6 to 10 hours depending on the weather. And you don't always have to restart in with kindling every time to get it going again because of hot embers in the bottem box.
Yes the Robertson screw. The best invention ever, concerning fasting parts together.
Evan you can do most anything. Well done Hoss!
Hi, is still amazes me that America is using old method of measuring measuring. The metric system is so much easier. I remember on 14 February 1966, when Australia change going from yards inches etc etc the good thing about the metric system is just blocks of 10 so simple thank God I live in the real world
It worked well enough for NASA and the moon landings…😂
Good Electrician will make it all work!!
You are amazing at everything you do. You explain each step and you show what to do. With you showing it, it would not be hard to learn. The project was neatly placed from traffic so no damage would occur, great thing to do. To cover the pipe on the wall be great with no distractions. Very professional job well done. I know the dogs will love the warmth you provided for them. Glad you got heat for the barn and right on time. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and keep. Bye for now from Alabama. It’s cold here at 17 degrees at night and lower 30’s during the day. Tell Rebecca stay warm.
Rebecca he is a keeper good job, love you both don't see you often enough. Friends from New Hampshire.
Evan, I am so envious of your skill set and your workshop. With a tad bit of fortune I'll get a garage built this year to have a shop, if on a much smaller scale, to do some projects, store some things and work on my vehicles and tractor. Great video with a lot of good information. Thank you!
Thanks, planning to use same stuff in my shop.
Hi..... Evan thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
Nice video. Enjoyed Thanks. 👍
Evan, I heat my small machine shop with a combination of direct vent propane and electric. Watch the humidity of your space as this burning propane will raise the humidity. Humidity will rust and cause an increase in condensation
Thank you for sharing!
Not quite as cold here in New England but still cold with snow here and there. I hate winter but can't get away from it. Take care of yourselves and the animals. The arctic freeze should let up soon I hope.
I fed my life stock a little corn when the weather got down to freezing it has a lot of heat in it
Awesome video, thank you brother!
i feel your pain with the temps. we are not to far away from you and the cold is tough here to
This video is right on time for me. I am looking at adding a 30,000btu natural gas ventless heater in our living room as a back up heat source.
Yes it's cold very cold. Stay warm.
Still looks like your up and going at dawn early dinner and to bed. Hey thanks for the video on the dyna glo propane heater a bunch 🙂
Just a few acres farm told me to check out your channel. I like it.
You should get Stove fans. They don’t run and any power, but heat alone. Put them onto the heaters and the fans will blow the heat out and around. Check them out.
Great job currently in the city its in the 20's and the kisses you got was thanks for a warm kennel Dad
This was Extremely educational and informative!!! Thank you Sir for sharing… 😇👍🏼
Mighty fine!! God Bless!!
Wow the shop is so nice. Metal siding looks great.
