Heating Your Shop

Youngsalt, you must be smart enough to have some ventilation to let air in and CO out, so maybe that is why the detector hasn't gone off, replace the detector if you have any doubts.

Youngsalt...your family will be the first notified if you have a problem!

If your shed is not insulated and is not what they call "tight" you are surely getting fresh air through the cracks as is the co2 escaping.

Bought one these at Homey's last night........only had one burner on for half hour last night. The thing burns sweet. Will bring out the CO2 detector when I use it for an hour or more. The CO2 is definitely what scares me. Saw these online for anywhere between $85 and $125.......it was only $78 at Homey's. 45,000 BTU.



Anyone want to buy the big a$$ kerosene heater I have.....I'll put it in the classifieds.

Is that a heated element? Make sure you watch the sawdust...airborn sawdust is flammable and will explode! Always use dust collection with most heat sources.

Thanks for the heads up.....
It's works kind of like a camping lantern...I think. It has a mesh element that glows......so yes, I guess it is considered an element.

One other thing to keep in mind when using keroseen is that as it burns it produces water vapor which may not be so good for painting .

I'm tapping into my new hot air system for the house...basements going to be like summer again.
