Awesome! I figured I wasn't too off base. I just don't want to jack up my electricity for winter heating. I have a couple of heaters in there but I would rather use gas as my first line of defense .I use a propane heater in winter months. Works great. I found one that has a thermostat on it. I love it!!
I have been using Colman camp stoves for years, two burners. Cheap and good.Awesome! I figured I wasn't too off base. I just don't want to jack up my electricity for winter heating. I have a couple of heaters in there but I would rather use gas as my first line of defense .
What unit do you use? Thanks for the help. Big time .
Be careful man, carbon monoxide is a killer!!I have been using Colman camp stoves for years, two burners. Cheap and good.
Thank you guys. Been looking at these. Hoping to find one with a thermostat ... lights on temps are no problem . I just need to keep that 15°F + swing in check to prevent powdery mildew, etc. Cannabis doesn't like 40 degree weatherWorks so sweet! Used it all last winter!!View attachment 829639
Carbon monoxide kills. Do not use those heaters in any enclosed space that is attached to a dwelling. Add a carbon monoxide detector to the room is using and if that sucker beeps , shut it down, air it out.Hey Farmpham,
I'm growing in a garage and winter is coming up. We see snow/ice, though I'm not in Michigan (brrrrr).
Lights keep the room hot enough but during dark cycle (daytime hours), temps obviously drop a lot .
Rather than run electric heaters, was thinking maybe a propane heater since it will run when I'm not in there . I know the extra co2 is better for lights on cycle. So I'm here asking and brainstorming . Advice?
The Mr Heater units have an O2 sensor ... evidently if the oxygen count gets too low, it's an auto shutoff. My garage is unattached, and I use irrigation so my contact with the flower room (where I need a heater) won't be much.Carbon monoxide kills.

I use them in an outdoor greenhouse, the plants love the extra co2.

Hey bro does it need a 100lb tank? Any idea if a tank could split the gas line and feed 2 units on different levels of a garage?Be careful man, carbon monoxide is a killer!!
Yes, but I would hard line it. Bigger the tank the better.Hey bro does it need a 100lb tank? Any idea if a tank could split the gas line and feed 2 units on different levels of a garage?

Absolutely NO! This unit is designed for a room. It’s a radiant propane heater.Diesel you put this in the tent?
I do not grow in tents in general. I do have a 20x20 that I’ve veged in. But in general I flower in rooms or garage.Diesel you put this in the tent?
Just put in a furnace, go 95.5%, duct it in, add a carbon filter to the return, heck add a coil and condenser for those summer months, ask him to pick up 25% make up air from outside with a variable damper that you can close is it’s freezing outside. I usually do a system like that for around $4k for heater and duct, add ac 14seer for about additional $8k. All can be propane or natural gas, or even electric heat pump, more for that.More info please.
Okay now want 2 floors of garage gas heated. Could I use the same tank and a T?
I have an HVAC buddy who will probably set it up.
Have perfect spot for large tank to feed both floors.
Doable?
I'm sadly on a shoestring. Good lord I wish the quantum flux capacitor in my time machine worked.Just put in a furnace, go 95.5%, duct it in, add a carbon filter to the return, heck add a coil and condenser for those summer months, ask him to pick up 25% make up air from outside with a variable damper that you can close is it’s freezing outside.

But it’s the best route. Or look up hot dawg heaters , cheap and I use them in my green houses . 93% eff, and stand alone systems, nat or lp.~$800-1200)$.
