Don't worry, I heed and respect your every word.

:rolleyes: Useless advice AND childish insecurity as a bonus from a guy that doesn't know **** from shinola, and apparently carries tampons with him when he travels. That's telling... Thanks again for the responses from those of you that do count. :spit:

I hear you about the chimney cost. From what I have heard from others the commentary was the same. Burns a lot of wood, but pumps out the heat. Yeah, I think it's a little stupid myself. We rent our property, and although the landlord is the type who doesn't mind, I don't know what the...

Thanks for the reply, no matter how condescending you insist on being. :dunno: From the reviews, and the few other people I HAVE talked to that own one of these stoves (i.e.- people with personal experience, which is what I asked for.) they seem to really like how theirs works out for them. I...

So what exactly about it makes it less safer, clean burning, etc? These stoves, according to the manufacturer, are EPA exempt. How exactly can they manufacture a new stove that's EPA exempt? The only reason I am looking at these is the price point for it. If I am spending $900.00 on a...

These things must be as rare as hens teeth I guess, cause apparently no one here or anywhere else on the internet has ANY clue about them.

Just asking because I saw this at L&M yesterday and I was curious. I don't mind the idea of burning wood, but I know the typical wood stove is not very safe for use in a garage. What's the deal with these?

Thanks again for the replies. No need for the condescending "no talking people out of it" commentary man... especially considering you didn't comment about how I should find a different heater. As for why I am running this, it's because it was $50.00 and I need it to get me by until the end...

So they put 3" legs on these things and then you have to elevate them? Seems odd. Where would combustible gases be coming from that would build up at the floor? Thanks for the reply.

I picked up a heater for the garage. I am trying to figure out if this is missing a piece on the bottom, or if it should be open like this? It's a Montgomery Wards Signature LP heater. 75k BTU Here's what the back looks like: It's a 5" output. The thing is, there's a 5" port on the...

Will let me insulate, won't discount. I'm venting by removing one of the Windows and making a vent panel. (single pane and useless thermally anyways. Thinking I'll probably do some insulating anyhow since I mentioned it again and he dropped off 9 spare rolls he had to get me started. Haha I'm...

Good reminder in general. (I tig weld tho. So no sparks.) I can't do a wood stove. Landlord would kill me. It'd cancel his home owners insurance right quick.

Wouldn't that be if the heater was running constantly though? ~20K BTU/LB. x 7 LB = ~140K BTU (heater output). I'll be out there for 3-4 hours a night, 4-5 nights a week. So figure 20 hours a week max. I was looking last night and thinking it might be fast and easy (and comparatively...

I do welding and fabrication, so I'm all over the garage usually.

We're gonna be here until next fall, so just for this winter. We need to move after that because we're having another kid in March and will need a 3 bedroom after that.
