Trainman,

I saw them at Home Depot and considered it too. Was it the little
cyclinder or did you get the extra hose so you could use the big BBQ Grill
tanks?

I bought the big propane heater ($40) that mounts on top of the BBQ Tank.
It's ugly but I don't plan to use it unless it's an emergency. I figured it
was cheap insurance.

Is anyone using this portable propane heater for emergency heat. I was

using it

for the first time to heat our garage and after a couple of hours the

propane

cylinder froze up and the heater turned off.

I was considering using it for emergency heat in my greenhouse but not if

it is

not realiable.






Are there any fumes that are released from the heater? I'm wondering as
I too need a back up plan.

I consider it lucky Wisconsin has not really gotten a major snow storm
in a couple of years.

I want a generator but have to save my pennies.
