Re: [DMCForum] Garage/shop heating

Ryan,

I thought you lived in Las Vegas!!  Does it get that
cold in your part of the country??  Just kidding!! 
:-)  You may hate propane, but have you ever played
golf on New Year's Day in northern Kentucky.  Up
there, they attach a heater to a propane bottle that
you hook up to a barbarque grill.  You'd be surprised
how much heat it puts out.  A big plus, you can get
the bottle refilled almost anywhere, even Walmart will
take your bottle on trade-in.  Check it out and if you
can't find anything out in your part of the woods,
contact me offline and I'll let you know where to buy
all the basics.

Mike
