Heating the hanger

What is the groups suggestion for heating a 40x50 insulated hanger. It
doesn't have to be hot I just want to raise the temp about 15-20 degrees
when it is 30-40 outside.

Here's the rub. No natural gas available plenty of electric though including
an unused 220 connection.

To see the hanger visit www.peoamerica.net/N601WR look in the contact me
area.

One of those propane blasters?

Propane puts out a lot of moisture when it burns.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

Yes, not a good idea for inside use.

(ducking & running *real fast!*)

move to warm places in the south of the US?

(and now hiding....)

I'm in Denver, have a hangar, but it's cold out there! But at
least I don't get hail damage.

Hmmmm... You new to Denver?
Some years back I was taking my wife out to visit my daughter who
lived in Boulder at the time. There were some towering Q that had
slid off the mountains right on top of Boulder, Denver, and even
Lyman.

They had a tornado at Lyman, baseball to softball size hail in both
Denver and Boulder. It actually splintered roof boards under shingles
and damaged millions of dollars worth of cars. It took the wind
screen out of one side on a Beech 1900 departing Stapleton. (I think
that may have been the last year of two of operation there.

We ended up getting 90 degreed once, but other than a few bumps it
went well. As we were leaving Jefco in the rental car, I looked up
to see a small plane "spit out" the side of one of those big black
clouds. He wasn't right side up although they did recover nicely.

One guy with a fairly new light twin got caught in it and although he
was able to land safely the airplane was nearly totaled.

They accused us of bringing Michigan weather along with us. I don't
think the visibility made it much above 10 miles for the entire week
we were there.

How about one of those infra-red heaters. Instead of heating the whole
hangar and losing it in the ceiling, just heat yourself and what you're
working on. Like the ones in Home Depot's entrance.

There used to be kerosene (JP4?) heaters that just required electricity
and generated huge amounts of heat. Don't know if those exist any
more, but check ebay.

Kerosene gives me a headache.
Better off with a construction site heater.
