Title: This is very interesting.
Post by: Judy Hunter on January 10, 2014, 10:36:22 am: I am not sure this would work for our North Dakota weather but in a small shop it would be great.
Question ....would it be safe??

I would worry if there are children playing in the area but other than that, GO FOR IT!
I'm not sure if it will provide all that much heat but, like anything else, it is worth a try and I might be surprised.

If the power ever goes out in the middle of the day what a life saver (not literary) but why sit in a cold room if it works.

Is it enough to heat a room, there are alot of factors to it, I don't think it would do that much, I get more heat and comfort sitting in front of my 2 500watt halogen work lights.
