I had one in my shop but it would take to long to warm up and my shop is a bit smaller than yours so I went to a propain forced air heater and it will take the temp from 20 degree to 70 in 10 minuets instead of an hour and use less fuel. I have a alarm also and vent fresh air. Better to be safe than sorry!!
@@misplacedgarage I wonder if I can find a model that vents the fumes outside, kind of like my gas furnace. They should exist and it would relatively easy to cut a hole for the outlet if the device is place on a garage exterior wall. Thanks for the idea. It is -27c as I write this, so yeah.
I went over that in the video. But I leave the man door cracked for fresh air, I use low temperature rated CO detectors, and it’s a very old structure that’s not sealed well. The heater also has a low oxygen shut off, not that I trust it. Haven’t had a single issue with CO so far.
FYI, The CO you have is not accurate, I experienced it and had a CO poisoning by just using our indoor Gas Stove with exhaust next to it. we also have the fisrt alert CO, Somehow the CO still accumulated inside our place. I purchased the TOPTES CT-300. It is more accurate than the firstAlert. I have to open the main sliding door for fresh air everytime we cook. @@misplacedgarage
The difference is that’s in a house which is much much more air tight. This is a detached structure from the 1940s and has many areas where air gets in and out. Propane is not suitable for a living environment unless it’s a proper vented system. Thanks for the tip I’ll look into the CT-300!

Nice heater. I have a unheated garage and it is baltic, i.e. bloody cold.

Great! I should think getting one, as it is -20c here. I would be worried about monoxide poisoning as my garage is well isolated….
Just crack a door/window/garage door and run a carbon monoxide detector that’s rated for low temperatures. And you’ll be good to go!

what about the CO! How do you protect yourselt from CO?
