Garage Heater
Gator, is there a heat exchanger on the waste oil furnace? Reason I ask is that I've heard that there are toxic metals in waste oil. I already spend too much time in contact with heavy metals and such to want to add them to the air.

I can't remember the brand but we have this space heater called a "Big-Buddy". Runs on two of those small Coleman propane cylinders (like used in those little camp stoves). Puts out quite a bit of heat. Its good as long as you have some ventilation, has a built in fan that you can turn on or off. It says it's safe for indoor use, but I can tell you from experience, the room quickly fills with gas and I wouldn't recomend it.

I had the same thought...95 cents!
Then I noticed that post was from 2002.
I like LP for heat, I have a hanging furnace in my shop. I used to have a 82 Gal pick up truck motor fuel tank but finally hooked it up to my house tank for convience.
My brother had a cheap set up in his last house, he bought a small take out electric furnace, stuck it in one corner with a deflector/duct and he had instant heat. He had a large 2 car so you only had to run it for a couple minutes and it was warm. All it took was 220 power and 50 or 75 bucks.
