Newbie to the Board

Tom R., here. Hence the screen name.

Just joined today after finding a link to this site on you-tube.

Been doing a lot of searching for different methods of heating my 2 car garage/workshop.
Apparently, my old lungs aren't liking the fumes from my kerosene torpedo heater anymore. I do a lot of coughing after being out there with it going.

So, time for better heat source. Definetly needed here in Michigan during the Winter months.

Been trying to decide on used oil or a rocket burner as heat source.
Seen a vid or 2 on a combo type heater, but am in search of more info on that as well.

Thanks for letting me join.

Now it's off to surf the threads on here and do some reading, maybe learn something along the way.

Tom

hi and welcome to the forums

id like to ask which is the more accessable between oil and wood as this is the major factor vs storing and flamable stuff

deppending on which kerosene torpedo heater that you use to heat the area of the 2 car garage

wood




changing to water expands the area you can heat up


oil






however changing and using this type of design you could switch back to the rocket burner type using oil



as the above video illustrates oil acts like a furnace get it wrong this is what it looks like within a rocket burner

Welcome Tom!
