Shop heat
just thought i would share what i,m using in my garage for heat. most of my neighbors use wood stoves,which i wouldnt reccomend around gasoline fumes,paint fumes etc. not to mention the space it takes up and having wood inside that is dry. that being said,i picked up a 3 year old 90,000 btu oil fired hot air furnace for 400 with triple wall stainless chimney pipe. my furnace is a downdraft unit which was in the attic of the house,which is perfect because i hung it from the roof rafters and didnt lose any floor space.i love working in a t shirt while its snowing,lol.

Being a HVAC/R technician, I can see a number of issues. The furnace you have shown is a 80% efficiency furnace, meaning it draws it's "combustion air" from within the building. CAUTION should be exercised with volatile vapors.

i am a ex firefighter so i am aware of the hazzards,being that it is above my work area i havent had any issues thus far. eventually when the attic part of the garage is finished i plan on installing a vent to let air circulate.this is not my first oil furnace,and 2 years later still no problems. this is the safest thing i could think of,and it works great.

unfortunately this is what i have,like i said the attic is pretty well sealed off from the work area. i plan on installing a exhaust fan at some point as well,i dont do any real painting in the cold weather just for that reason. my other thought was to add a fresh air intake to the filter housing,any thoughts on that would be appreciated.Roger

Having had a woodworking shop for many years it was easy to put a hot air furnace in which I got for a really good buy many moons ago....to my dismay last Jan we decided to have a bad cold snap which put the high here at 9 below. I was in the shop working the night before and all was well. Tuesday morning I fired up the furnace and went in the house to wait til it warmed up the shop and was on watching the tv when I hear a loud bang...long story short the furnace malfunctioned and blew up. Front panel of the furnace was wrapped around my table saw...I was glad I wasn't out there when it happened. Fire company said it was over 1100 degrees at one point. NOT COOL!!!! none the less I put a pellet stove in and that is something I can control.
shop fires are not cool at all

steve you were lucky,i havent had any problems like that.there are 3 safetys on mine to prevent overheating. this is my second furnace so i am always making sure things work as they should.when the temps get real cold i do add fuel anti gel just so there are no issues.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
