Default Greenhouse heating question

In article ,
"Steve B" wrote:

In another newsgroup, there's a discussion about heating a greenhouse.
Electric heaters were mentioned. Also kerosene, but comments were made
about fumes and stickiness. Someone recommended a plain propane barbecue.
It was stated that the CO2 would be good for the plants. I was wondering
about the CO produced, and what the levels would be.

What is the best/worst ways to do supplemental heat in a greenhouse?

Our local plantsman used hot water. Seemed constant and humidity
friendly. He grew just about everything and valved off and on as
required. Mr Duncan was a officer in the Navy in WW2. Married a German
war bride and had a small farm maybe 20 acres. I'd ask for a doz pulled
plants and get over 20. Get asked in for a bit to eat and a shot too.

Whew I miss them!
