I need to have some heat in my hangar for a small get-together next month. I would rather not have heat from an open flame next to the airplane. What do you use to provide heat in your garage? Can anyone suggest a safe, flameless portable heater? I know all you cold climate folks will laugh but it might get down into the fifties that day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Thanks, Elliot |

The propane powered forced air heaters are the best for fast worry free heat.
The radiant heat POS's that you put on your propane tank are a serious safety risk. |

One day only? Do you have 220v?
Portable electric construction heater. You don't want to use it all the time though, your meter will almost torque off the wall when you turn that sucker on. |

I bought one of these off of Craigslist for $20. 30 minutes of it sitting in my long one car garage takes it from the 30 degree mark to mid 50's. Two of them would make it too warm.

QUOTE(r_towle @ Nov 29 2013, 01:50 PM) Open the door and let in some warm air. Yeah, it doesnt sound so bad. But because it isnt very cold there is little insulation. I used to live in the bay area. Went back to california for a week long meeting at Asilomar. Almost froze my ass off. No heat, and lots of fleece jackets. Since it is a hanger perhaps you can pass out ww2 leather flight jackets. Your guests will like that! |

The forced air propane blowers you can rent are way too noisy. I've only got 110V in the hangar. I might use some outdoor type heaters and open the hangar doors halfway. The hangar is almost 2000 sq. ft. By the way, it was broken into last night along with three or four others on my side of the airport. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) They stole my tool box, an oxygen cylinder, my mountain mike and a 5 gallon jug of 100LL aviation gas. On top of that, the cheeky bastards opened my mini-fridge and helped themselves to a bottle of 805 beer. F**K I hate thieves. There is a large car hauler trailer next to the hangar behind me they tried to steel as well. As they were trying to back it out, they hit and broke a fire hydrant and half the airport was flooded. I think that was what spooked them away because there was a lot more they could have taken from my hangar but didn't. The case hardened lock was snipped with bolt cutters. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) ya gonna do. I'm thinking a 410 with blanks hooked to the hangar door and when I find a pile of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) in front of the door, I'll know it worked.

I know that if they get knocked over that would be a safety issue but that issue can be managed by securing the tank in a box or milk crate. Are there any other safety concerns? I have a 3 car garage but I only need to heat one bay while I work. Someday I would like to get an outdoor furnace and plumb the garage for radiant hot water heat but I need a simple, propane solution for now. I dont' want the noisy forced air heaters (propane or kerosene). |

Find a HVAC guy and get a heat strip unit that he has pulled with a busted heat pump, or even better a house that is being upgraded and get the heat pump too. The guys across the lot form me bring in 3-4 a week on average. I got one and it does a damn good job of keeping a 1500s.f. high ceiling warm. warm being a constant 50-60* so Elliot may need 4 of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |
