Where I live they call it home base for whatever reason , like its some training place or something :), but always good to get random ideas for heating since there has been issues where people haven't been able to get heat/electric for the whole entire winter time here for I guess the home base reason or something.
being many adaptors maybe state exactly WHICH ADAPTOR is needed ie size - just searched on ebay.. cant find a single one that looks correct.... so what size is it ???
What about condensation? Using a gas heater in my space and theres condensation everywhere. Didnt realize how much wayer vapor is created from these. Close to 1 gallon of water for each gallon of fuel burnt
Might get one of those for the garcade, biggest problem I have out there is condensation during the winter. I have about 4 of those salt dehumidifiers in there and they do the job of keeping the air dry
Lovely video, nice run through, straight to the point, showed how to set it up and how it runs all about the adapter etc. Just ordered bigger one myself for my home gym during the frosty nights, how is it on gas consumption? Cheers
Yes, I had to stop using my propane heater, and buy an electrical one for that reason. I have $20000 of mechanics tools as well that all got a light coating of rust in my tool box that I had to clean off, and every saw surface had to be sanded and rewaxed. I have a very well insulated shop.
Great video I have a similar shed to yourself I notice that you have some sort of foam along the gaps where the sides meet to roof. What is it? To stop draughts?
Hi John, I hope you are well. I was wondering do you know the power input required for this unit? I assume the 230V 13A input is to run the motor for the fan but do you know the watts it needs? I am trying to decide between this or a diesel heater. Appreciate any help.
if you have tools or equipments the diesel heater is better since its exhausting outside. the power they both needs to run them is miniscule, the deciding factor is the price or kero/diesel to propane. if you already have a safefill propane then thats your cheapest option
Do you know how long you’d get out of a tank of gas? I’m looking to buy one for the shed just to take the chill out of as it’s a makeshift gym with the lockdown. The shed is 800 square feet but like I said don’t need the place to be roasting just wanna take the sting out of the cold weather. Great video 👍
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed Thanks for that information. I have had no luck finding it would you know the name of the place you bought from and I will contact them directly.
Winter is closing in again and I’m thinking of using one of these in my workshop. How did it work out in terms of running costs? Any particular condensation issues or headache problems? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers 🍻
No issue with headaches if you leave it run for awhile things will start to condensate, I only use it for a few minutes at a time it's all is required I'm still on the first bottle of gas.

Great video just stumbled on this video fair play to u
Nice one!! I love my wood stove though because I never run out of fuel.
If in the future I can spend more time in the workshop I would love to add a wood burning stove. I have one in my house love it!
John McGrath yep can’t be beat especially when you want to get rid of scrap and sawdust
NOOICE!!!
hi John, just got one of these today, can you tell me what the adaptor wass called? Many thanks.

Great video.. Keeps us updated on how long the gas lasts
Will do
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed How long did it last in the end? :)
Seems to do the job! Ill let you know how cost effective it is to run.
How cost effective is it? Do you have a follow up video or information regarding this?
Thanks kind regards

It kicks out a lot of heat could dry the place out but you need to insulate to stop that condensation
Lovely video, nice run through, straight to the point, showed how to set it up and how it runs all about the adapter etc. Just ordered bigger one myself for my home gym during the frosty nights, how is it on gas consumption? Cheers
It's pretty good I only run it for a few minutes at a time
Still doing well this heater???
Hi John. Check that the water vapour given off during combustion does not condense on your cast iron table saw bed and start rust
Will do thanks

It's a good point didn't think of that one

You need a carbon monoxide detector. It is an odorless killer!!!! Vent by opening your garage door about 6 inches.
Great video thanks. Do you think this would be appropriate to use in a wooden shed used as a study (with books and papers in)?
@John, it is possible to leave the gas “on”, such that you can turn the heater on automatically via a Wi-Fi enabled smart plug?
No you will fill the workshop with gas, you would need a solenoid to control the gas valves

Great video 👍
I still have the same bottle of gas, I only use it for a few minutes to do as you say and take the sting out of the air.
Hi John
Could you please share the link for where you bought the tank adapter.
Thanks
I got it locally, you will get it in any plumbers providers/hardware store just bring the regulator with you, they will know what you need.
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed
Thanks for that information.
I have had no luck finding it would you know the name of the place you bought from and I will contact them directly.
Great video, does it trip the extension lead?
No it's only running the fan there is a very small electrical load
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed Thanks so much for answering.
@@alasdairmacaulay2270 No problem
Wheres the fitting from or whats it called? ,i need one
propane regulator adaptor
Trusting a paddy with something that could explode, your avin a laf😂😂😂

John McGrath thanks John that’s very helpful 👍🏻
If you start to get headaches check your heater, like you said make sure you have carbon monoxide alarms
I was using an old gas heater from my Dads old shop. Got terrible headaches so dumping it now.
Mine is much bigger than yours.
mine is even bigger than yours
