If you have a small enough area and you don't have to do a whole lot of
heating, I would tend to go with electric/radiant.... no dust, no gasses, no
air blowing, etc etc... the kind that uses a liquid seem very nice... I think
this would be the most trouble free...
Is there some way you could run another line to the area?

<< Hello List
I gotta rig my work area for the winter soon. It's unheated at present. I
live in the middle of New Mexico at ~5000 feet. It is very dry in the cool
half of the year. Pretty cold, though.
I work in a well-insulated garage. It's 18x20 but the part that needs to
be heated is more like 18x12 (one end being cut off more or less by a
canvas tarp).
I'm not too excited about any kind of forced-air heating. The units are
very expensive, they raise dust, and they dry the already dry air. Also,
they chew a lot of amps, and I'm sucking plenty in the area as it is -- two
lines filled pretty close to the brim (1000W halide lamp, swamp cooler,
ceiling exhaust fan, any number of room lights, hair dryer, microwave, etc.
etc.).
It's a small enough space that I can supply plenty of humidity w/ room
humidifiers of any of several kinds.
Suggestions? Bad experiences? What about pellet stoves? Just plain wood
stoves? Radiant heating units?
