in your future
I was thinking of running the stove supervised for a few minutes at night and then turning it off. If this is too dangerous I'll just go with one of the heaters referenced in the greenhouse heater threads. I wanted to know if I could use what I currently have.I see
Open flames is like heating your home with an oven
That won’t last with thin wall. You could buy an oil filled electric space heater but open flame is not safe
What kind of heater do you recommend? Not being snarky, the info is appreciated. This is my first walk-in greenhouse.
I have an oil filled space heater. Has a low, med or high switch with a thermostat, one of those old style rounds timers with the teeth on it and comes with a built in gfci in case things get dicey. Not sure of the brand but the options are worth it.
It is about style
Props for the info. I would "like" this post but I cannot see where to do so.
I ought to have included the location info in the original post. I am near the los angeles coast and it gets to be c. 55-65° F at night mid-Dec through Jan.
Takes 48hrs after becoming a new member to get that option. Thanks for the thought.
And the smell?edit: actually I think the drums might get too hot during the day where you are at by trapping heat in the greenhouse...
check out real kerosene heaters by kero-sun...
kero sene heaters are actualy really safe and awesome but the goverment doesn't want you to know that because the oil giants sell kersosene to japan

Complete tear down. It has been cleaned. new OEM Kero-sun cotton wick installed. The only thing I forgot to replace was the igniter. so that may or may not work. Look closely at the photos. it is not perfect.www.ebay.com
you can cook on it and it's a light too!
I tried bying one before and cops kept on trying to set me up on the way to buy it...it was crazy like a movie or something lol...
one person told me to meet them at the police station...yeah right!
Is this the coldest it's going to get? If so, I wouldn't waste my money heating. They'll be fine. I'd get constant air moving in there though. Gl
The smell suggests incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide liability.
Lots of kerosene heaters ( using white kerosene) are used here in the Northeast by those who need to supplement in their homes. Not the best case scenario, but perfectly safe.
What are their CO readings? I hope they’re prudent enough to have them. Chronic CO poisoning does not present like the acute “kill you quick” poisoning. It can masquerade as other conditions.
