I have decided to go with a gas hanger, according to the all knowing internet I need between 40 and 60,000 btu's, but since I do not heat it round the clock I decided to go with an 80,000btu unit. Right now unless anyone thinks they are NFG, I am going with a , r Heater Big Maxx MHU80NG unit...

Zimman, just for your info, I"m using a small propane for heat now, and I installed 2 6" metal pipes one in each opposing corners of the shop, they are open about 6" from the ceiling, and go down to about 3' from the floor with a 45 degree down, and I put 6" draft inducer fans in each. They work...

believe it or not, in the summer, On Cape Cod, if I leave my garage door closed my shop stays cool all day, I have no idea why, but the floor is always cold. So I have no need for AC, just heat.

You think an electric split mini would be more effeciant and cheaper to run that Natural Gas? I'm heating my house and my apartment with gas forced air for 300 a month on the budget with a couple of free months, my electric bill is over 500 a month now.

You misunderstood, I am using a portable propane heater now to heat but I want to install a natural gas heater. Just wondering iif there is any new tech I should be looking for or just the run of the mill hanger, like a modine?

gentlemen, looking for a suggestion on type of garage heater for my shop. I'm In Mass. Shop is 26x40 wood frame insulated with a 12 ceiling. Mostly open area. I have natural gas on site. It does not freeze the plumbing with no heat for most of the week. Right now I just heat it when I use it...

Buy a carb kit and rebuild the original one. Rice burners don't like corn made ethanol.

A lot of people have put them outdoors, beside the garage.

yes, hydraulics will take the path of least pressure, so if one side is heavier than the other, the only way to keep it level is with the cable adjustment. I have my 2 post set up totally independent of each other because my right post is on an I-beam trolly so I can push it to the wall and get...

they look pretty cheep, I bought one of the HF, US General boxes and it's a pretty nice box with all roller drawers.

seems like a lot of work to me, unless the car is going to stay up there for a month or so. 2 post lifts show up quite often for sale from 500-2000, maybe I'm just old and lazy, but I love my lifts. I had a 2 post at home for probably 20 years, and I just bought a 4 post to basically add a stall...

I bought one of the tool chests from Harbor freight, US general box, it's pretty nice for the price. https://www.harborfreight.com/tool-storage-organization/u-s-general-tool-storage/27-in-x-22-in-top-chest-series-3-red-58715.html

doesn't your lift have equalizer cables to keep them level?

bury a 4x4 PT post and mount a catch for the doors.

Just looking at your pictures, it doesn't look like you have enough clearance to the rafters for a lift. What type of vehicle are you trying to lift?
