When it comes to heat and a/c I know NOTHING unless it is on a car. Since my garage don't have a running motor and a 5ft heater core, Ive got to ask for some help.
If I understand right, The higher the BTU the more heat it puts out? correct?
I do a lot of painting in my garage and can't use a kero heater because it puts oils in the air. I had that issue last winter. I bought A large Readyheater brand torpedo style heater last winter from the home depot for $400
It worked great to heat, But the first time I sprayed paint it was a disaster. Took me months to get everything clean again.
This year im working will a smaller budget of about $300. And hope to find a good heater. I prefer non electric. My power bill is high enough as is. Im thinking propane would be my best option. Will propane leave fumes or oils in the air that could possibly contaminate painting?
And what do you guys think about this heater from Northern Tool seen here: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_47716_47716
At 200,000 btu @ $229.00 It has the highest BTU per dollar of any heater they sell.
Just a little background, My home shop is 24'x31'x10' carport style garage, with R-13 in the walls and roof, covered by 5/8" dry wall. Im not looking for full time heat. I need something that will heat fast, And I use my shop about 20 hours per week. So I only need something to heat as I need it. Like a torpedo heater.
What do you guys think?
Im open to any other option that fits under my $300 budget for quick heat.
Thanks for your time!
