This is a cabinet type heater where the 20 or 30 pound tank fits inside the heater. ----- Original Message ----- From: "William Stephan" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 3:03 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] portable propane heater
Lenny: Is this the type where the heater itself mounts on the tank? I imagine it's convex or radiant heat, maybe with a cyramic element or something similar. So, does it project heat from only one side or is it round? If memory serves, there's 21,591 BTUs in a pound of propane, and your heater should be rated in BTUs per hour, so figure accordingly. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lenny McHugh Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 09:04 To: handyman-blind Subject: [BlindHandyMan] portable propane heater I have been considering purchasing a portable propane heater with the hope I never use it. Last week many homes in my area lost power for two days. I thought about this just for an emergency situation. Where I am confused is the unit is designed for indoor use and uses a 20 pound cylinder. All of the cylinders that I have state for outdoor use only. Two different sales people told me that they use it and just take the tank from their grill. I do have two high quality Webber tanks, just not sure if I should follow through. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ Lenny ------------------------------------ Send any questions regarding list management to: [email protected] To listen to the show archives go to link http://www.acbradio.org/pweb/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_p age&PAGE_id=33&MMN_position=47:29 Or ftp://ftp.acbradio.org/acbradio-archives/handyman/ The Pod Cast address for the Blind Handy Man Show is. http://www.acbradio.org/news/xml/podcast.php?pgm=saturday Visit The Blind Handy Man Files Page To Review Contributions From Various List Members At The Following address: http://www.jaws-users.com/JAWS/handyman/ Visit the archives page at the following address http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ If you would like to join the JAWS Users List, then visit the following address for more information: http://www.jaws-users.com/ For a complete list of email commands pertaining to the Blind Handy Man list just send a blank message to: [email protected]!
