Spareparts, I am sorry to hear about the birds.
Everyone thanks for your input. A carbon monoxide detecter seems like a must have. One thing I have read is that a propane heater around 40,000 BTU or higher will run better and longer off of a 40 lb tank. One convection model is rated 30k to 80K and another mfg's is rated 40K-80K. They will not run at 80K with a 20 lb tank. I'm not sure I want to spring for a 40 lb tank or have it take up space. We visited a kersosene shop and I doubt the 23K convection type will heat my garage fast enough, which even makes me wonder about propane convection at 40K. I'm sort of leaning towards a 35-55K forced air propane and running it off of a 20 lb cylinder. That or 40K kersene torpedo. Probably either way, I'd run it for 10 minutes before I want to start work and then turn it off while I'm working. Wall and ceiling mounts are nice, but I'm hoping to move to house with a bigger shiop, etc and can't see making the investment here. Sort of wondering what size heaters people are running off of 20lb tanks and how well it works?
Thanks,
