Instagram- Misplaced_garage In todays episode of Mpg I go into detail about my experience heating my garage with my mr heater 30k BTU heater! link to the heater! www.homedepot.com/p/Mr-Heater...
I had one in my shop but it would take to long to warm up and my shop is a bit smaller than yours so I went to a propain forced air heater and it will take the temp from 20 degree to 70 in 10 minuets instead of an hour and use less fuel. I have a alarm also and vent fresh air. Better to be safe than sorry!!
@@misplacedgarage I wonder if I can find a model that vents the fumes outside, kind of like my gas furnace. They should exist and it would relatively easy to cut a hole for the outlet if the device is place on a garage exterior wall. Thanks for the idea. It is -27c as I write this, so yeah.
I went over that in the video. But I leave the man door cracked for fresh air, I use low temperature rated CO detectors, and it’s a very old structure that’s not sealed well. The heater also has a low oxygen shut off, not that I trust it. Haven’t had a single issue with CO so far.
FYI, The CO you have is not accurate, I experienced it and had a CO poisoning by just using our indoor Gas Stove with exhaust next to it. we also have the fisrt alert CO, Somehow the CO still accumulated inside our place. I purchased the TOPTES CT-300. It is more accurate than the firstAlert. I have to open the main sliding door for fresh air everytime we cook. @@misplacedgarage
The difference is that’s in a house which is much much more air tight. This is a detached structure from the 1940s and has many areas where air gets in and out. Propane is not suitable for a living environment unless it’s a proper vented system. Thanks for the tip I’ll look into the CT-300!
