Waz 4,204 Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 If its for a small space, then storage of fuel might be a big 'ask' electric dont require no storage. An extra jumper/hoodie & hat (self insulation) are probably the most economical solutions before insulation of the building Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,258 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I made this some time back was told I would die and burn down my shed etc but here he is a Year or two on still providing free heat, having a man cave is about making good and making do, not going to Band Q for a plug in electric sapping heater, an old gas bottle an Ali road sign and a couple of combi boiler flues stuck together as a chimney, all picked up from skips, total cost probably about a fiver Edited February 9, 2020 by Greyman 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabid 1,936 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 I have a diesel space heater in my workshop but I would say it’s well overkill for most normal uses. greyman, I love the look of your gas bottle, I’ve been toying with that idea for a few years but never got around to it. how do you find it works, have you got a griddle or ash pan or anything inside or just burn direct in the bottle, and what improvements would you make to it ?

socks 32,253 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 I need a space heater for the size of my lock up ... I’ve got 3 log burners of different sizes but they are not big enough for my lock up ...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I fell lucky, bought mine at a farm sale for a tenner, looked real clean and hardly used but a few folks tried to fire it up and it wouldn’t run. got it back and diesel tank was half full of water, stripped it out, cleaned tank, and lines, new filter, runs like a dream, it heats my workshop that’s roughly 20m x 5m x 5m, sip fireball 215 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
