WE are putting up a building (26x36)that will be used for mostly storage of excess equipment,IE bobcat, 706 tractor,dozer, lawn mower,wood splitter,odd truck or two, etc. Now in the winter it will be used as such,but on the odd occasion of something that needs working on, what would be the most easiest way of heating such a area? We do have a torpedo heater,but for burning very long, it does seem to get a little over powering,even with kerosene fuel, diesel is worse. Do they make a adapter that will fit on the torpedo heater that captures the fumes like a gas furnace and vents it outside after the heat has been used up? When we first got the heater and put in kerosene, no fumes that we could tell,but after the second tank of kerosene, seemed like the fuel place we purchased the fuel from put diesel instead of kerosene,has anyone run into this happening? Was even thinking of in floor heat,but it wouldn't be used all that much and the cost for electricity for the pump, electric water heater for heat( we don't have propane or natural gas for heating) would be a waste .Not to mention being dormant and then taking as much as a few days to raise from below zero to working conditions in the winter.Always good to get a few opinions/suggestions.
