Fuck, I never moved so fast in my life to turn propane off . It was almost 20 years old and I dont use it very often .

I use one in the garage as well. We have radiant heat in the garage but not hooked up to the boiler. I don't want to be adding to the propane bill as it is. I'm going to get a wallmount propane heater installed and run it off a couple 100lb tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This incident only makes me respect propane more . But a full on wall mount on 100 pounders would be a better way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only go thru about 50-60lbs with the buddy heater for the amount of time I'm in there and it gets comfortable. With a wallmount I could leave on low on weekends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
