Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Temp is coming up fast - over 10° in the last 50 minutes. Up to 61 now.
Boat, pickup and camper to wash today. Need to fill the tanks up on the pickup.
We love it! We can (and have in power outages or the pellet stove breaking) even heat the house with it. The little propane bottles make it fully portable and the adapter hose for the larger "RV" type bottles is great for fixed operation for heat in the garage or shop as well as working on the rigs 'under the tarp' in the driveway. Much cheaper and way more convenient than the 'indoor safe' kerosene heaters.
With the first one we had, (12+ yrs old) the plastic case started cracking and falling apart. It's still useable but it seems like a piece of the plastic housing brakes off every time it is used.
The new one (2 or 3 years old) is holding up with no problems so far. You need to use the filter for the bulk bottles and the AC adapter for the fan is highly recommended as well. The fan will run for a long time on D cell batteries, but the adapter cuts the cost of batteries down when used within range of a wall plug.
We originally got one with the primary purpose of heating the tent in 'foul / cold' weather camping conditions.
With all those BBQ's, you are going to have to do more than just paint a shed to save the belt line....
