2-Wheeler Mounted Propane Heater Keeps Shop Warm

2-Wheeler Mounted Propane Heater Keeps Shop Warm FARM SHOP Handy Hints “I bought a wall-mount non-vent propane residential heater cheap at a flea market and strapped it onto my 2-wheeler It’s nice and quiet and can be easily moved anywhere in the shop I need heat ” says Bob Payne Coldwater Miss He paid $10 for the heater which came with a 30-lb propane bottle He welded a metal rack on back of the 2-wheeler to hold the bottle and mounted the heater on front of the 2-wheeler using metal straps to secure it to the frame The 80-lb counterweight off a Deere riding mower was bolted onto the 2-wheeler’s front ledge to help offset the weight of the bottle Payne also screwed a barbeque grill regulator onto the bottle to regulate tank pressure “I use it in my shop which isn’t heated It produces a nice warm area where I’m working much like an old pot-bellied stove does ” says Payne “The heater is rated for indoor use so I use it only in my shop which is well ventilated I own a diesel jet flame heater but didn’t use it very often because it was smelly and made a lot of noise “This is a 5-burner heater but if I was buying new I’d get a 3-burner unit The 30-lb bottle can’t evaporate propane fast enough to keep up with all 5 burners especially if it’s cold outside ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Bob Payne 65 Wallace Rd Coldwater Miss 38618
