Re: Model A Garage & Heat???
Here's a link to a kerosene heater that looks the closest to the one I have...but, mine has a square tank/base and no guards all over it...
http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...ven=Aggregates It's at Northern Tool...about $109.00, from their website. I paid less than $60.00 for mine in 1985, but it doesn't have all the OSHA-mandated safety guards, cages, and other BS (I resort to old-school warnings...look, it's a kerosene heater...it gets real frickin' HOT, okay? ...so don't touch it, understand?) Mine does have a tip over shut-off valve that shuts it off should it get knocked over. Lemme see if I can copy-n-paste the picture here... There ya go... Like I said, mine'll run you right outta the garage in a couple of hours. I usually turn it down to about half-speed after a couple of hours. Hope this helps...

Re: Model A Garage & Heat???
Do you really want a flame burning in a building that has gasoline fumes in it? I wasn't allowed to have a gas heater in the service department of my shop for that reason.

Re: Model A Garage & Heat???
Who said anything about gasoline fumes...? If you've got gasoline fumes in your shop, and you don't open a window or a door to get some cross-flow ventilation...then you get what you bargained for... I don't care what your heating source may be...electric, gas, kerosene, or flatulence...
Give someone some credit for having at least as much knowledge as you do...you don't want to use a kerosene heater...then don't use one. I've been using one for over twenty five years with no incidents...with and without gasoline fumes in the garage...and with everything from MG's to Jaguars to Porsches to Shelby Cobras to hot rods, muscle cars, and Model A's, plus more than a few Indians and Harleys thrown in there, too. I'd say I'm doing something right.... ...but you're certainly free to do as you please. I know I will...

Re: Model A Garage & Heat???
Remember to check the height off floor of your receptacles, they are as dangerous as an open flame, the arc from disconnecting and connecting cords, GFI's for safety, heaters are just something else you have to use caution with, ( Like driving your A ), Bruce

Re: Model A Garage & Heat???
Burning any fuel unvented will put a lot of water vapor into your garage. When the temp. goes back down it is going to condense on metal. Not good.
