[Shop-talk] Shop heating options

[Steven Trovato]

I have two Empire direct vent propane heaters.  I only use them when 
I am actually in the garage, and they are able to heat up fast.  This 
is also a plus if you have to open the door to move a car in or 
out.  Intake air and exhaust both go through the wall behind the 
unit.  The flame is in a closed combustion chamber isolated from the 
room air.  There isn't really an open flame in the garage.  Propane 
is expensive in my area, especially for low usage customers.  The 
propane companies are pretty sleazy and pricing can be 
volatile.  Other than that, I have been very happy with these units.
