    need to work in my 13x53 storage unit, have a salamander, want more heater in quieter fashion

    I had one on my patio. The style that has the umbrella looking dome on top to reflect heat down. It was near useless outside in the cold unfortunately.

    i had a smaller propane salamander, I forget what it’s max was. Maybe 40,000 btu or 60,000 and it made it fairly manageable when it was cold enough to be snowing outside. But you had to have that sucker pointed right at ya.

    Usually in the front of unit. Have to swap outboards on boat though at some point over winter. So that’ll be in rear 53’ long unit.

    No doubt. So the 45k dewalt infrared unit is way to go. Can’t find anything with more btu that’s portable

    But if it throws a ton of heat at the object then the objects will be heated. Lol

    Here’s a second larger portable unit. This is nice as it’s self contained with the fuel tank. No having to lug around propane tank too like other unit. Of course Kero doesn’t burn as clean. It does require a power cord though and seems to have a blower, so idk that you'd call it try...

    DEWALT F340620 DXH45 Radiant Propane Heater, https://www.farmandfleet.com/products/786261-dewalt-45000-btu-portable-radiant-propane-heater.html This seems like a slick portable unit No tank holder. But I did find a guy who modded one on there.

    Really? I figured without a blower it would never push out enough heat. I can grab one of those too if you think it’ll be a lot better. And ya a mobile setup would be ideal. Sometimes working in back of unit. Sometimes in front. I guess I’ll try this salamander and see how it goes...

    https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200921641_200921641 bought that and calling it a day. Thought it was a heck of a deal with another $20 off coupon i had. I'll worry about a quiet setup when I build myself a shop someday.

    This’ll only be about a 2-3 times a year thing. Prepping snowmobiles for winter. And doing some boat work. So far no issues with condensation or roof melt. Even with my propane heater that dump tons of moisture into air This is almost the equivalent of holding a match outside this unit is...

    Ya I hear ya, I have rented it for about 3 years now. I should have done it a lot sooner. The guy in the bay next to me is doing some woodwork and now i've been getting dust on all my stuff thanks to that. Some plastic up def would help that too!
