     You might check out the infrared heaters.  No hot surfaces, and will heat your house really well, and hardly any draw on electricity! ;)  My neighbors in Montana have them.  I am going to get some for my house, when I get back out there.  I didn't get any before I left, and wish I had.  My electric bill went up, with the wall heaters going all the time to keep the temp above freezing.  I have the fan on, and so far the temps. only been around 40 or so, inside the house.  I had winterized the house, and shop before I left.  But check out those infrared heaters.  I think Sportsmans guide sells them also.

I know several people that swear by these little heaters, it might be worth your time to look at them. I don't know but I have heard that the more elements it has the better and more efficient it heats. I would check that out before making my decision on one of these heaters

That thing looks pretty awesome Viney.  What was the application you used it for?

Was going to heat my shop with it. I think it would be able to make it tolerable, and not get too hot. Got it for $50 and free shipping....what the heck I thought! :laugh:

well me and the wife have been talking and we were planning to build a bigger home on our 7  acres but the total cost is pretty hefty so we decided we are going to add on the our little house living room and master bead room and remodel the existing living room/kitchen nook into a full kitchen :) and for winter heating i want to build a rocket stove mass heater man are the extremely efficient :)
