    Need some help with shop heater.

    Holy s**t am I missing something? Are the horizontal vent kits really as much or more than the heater itself?? Anyone install mr heater 50k with horizontal vent? What is the difference between the 2? Vertical vent is $120 vs $350-$900 for horizontal?

    Need some help with shop heater.

    My gas line comes in by the back corner. I was planning on mounting in that back corner (red dot) then venting out the back wall so that the pipe isn't really visible. I could mount it in the middle of the building (yellow dot) but then I'd have the pipe right in the front of the building...

    Need some help with shop heater.

    Do they all have to be vented so far out past soffit? I only have 12" soffit, not vented. We can get some pretty significant snow at times and I don't want to have to worry about a snow avalanche bringing it down. I'd much rather run the pipe through the wall than roof

    Looking for some pointers on heating pole barn

    Thanks guys. I wasn't sure how much propane was compared to gas. They wanted me to fill out an application and credit check etc. Before they would give me any numbers for a propane tank, now I know. I was hoping propane wasn't so bad, was really trying not to dig up part of my driveway too...

    I'm in Buffalo Ny so we have some pretty hot/humid summers and some long cold winters. The barn will be used for my mancave/ shop. I work on a lot of snowblowers, atvs, snowmobiles. Small engine stuff. Planning on a couple tvs and darts, poll table, etc.
