[AT] On topic, Back to Tractors

[Jim Thomson]

The previous owner of our home left a propane/wood stove heater that had
been sitting under my work bench for a few years. With this winters cold
snap, I decided to see if this would actually work. I took it all apart and
blew out all the passages with compressed air. I hooked up a small propned
tank nd it fired right up. It is rated for 30,000 BTU and heats the 500 SQFT
shop very nicely. The next project is to run a hard line to the stove and
get it is a better spot.

I know where you can get a heater that would heat that shop right up.

600,000 BTU Kero Salamander. Saw one in a store, it's the size of a jet 
engine sitting on a 40 gallon tank!

If that one isn't enough

1,760,000 BTU

Just be sure you have a refinery to tap into!!!!!!!!
