Yea I've seen them in action.some serious heat comes out of them. Way to big for me though balaur.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look into making a drip feed oil burner piece of piss to make and if your changing oil in your garage it’s free to run, just need a bit of pipe and fittings a bowl and fan, you can convert an old wood burner if you have one or use an old gas bottle or oil drum if not 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Francie 6,362 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 @king have you looked at the low wattage oil burning rads lad. There ones there with 500 Watts, it only uses 5p an hour, they don't bang out loads of heat, but being able to keep them on all day, the shed will be warm, plus it uses next to nothing on electric.

jok 3,036 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 I've a greenhouse heater languishing, unused and unloved, in the garage. It's paraffin. Certainly kicks out a glow. Jok. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meece 1,957 Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Burning anything has a lot of drawbacks and potential dangers. The most dangerous effect is that direct flame is burning the oxygen that you breathe. Some bottles of gas give you a sore throat. Other bottles give you a splitting headache. If you've got steel items such as lathes or anything like metal, they sweat with condensation when the temperature changes which makes stuff go rusty and paperwork goes damp and mouldy. Also there is the risk of fire. Roll on global warming then none of it would be required. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
