Heater for 16' Perm

[ice_it_06]

My vented heater on my perm is shot.

What are a guys quick cheap options to finish off the year.

I plan on a new vented next year but not now.

Will a double sunflower heat up a 8 X 16 ?

It has 4" of insulation in the walls, and 6" ceiling and floor.

Was thinking about those Nuway propane stoves (vented) also.

I have a 3" vent system in the house already so thought maybe their 12,000 btu or 16,000 btu model might work for under $140.

All thoughts and direction greatly appreciated as I need to do something soon and get fishing in it.

The double sunflower should work just fine. Running on hight those things kick out some serious heat. We heated a 8x10 with a single sunflower on the lowest setting. If you do run it, keep the windows cracked to allow for some air exchange.

Yeah even a single sunflower will put out some major heat on high. I have used a single sunflower in our 7x14 with no problems. Like K Dawg says Make sure you have some sort of ventalation because they do put out the fumes.

Think I'll give that a shot seeing they are relatively cheap.

Anyone know if there are fittings that I can hook to my existing hose out to my 100lb tank and that will also accommodate the big nipple end on the sunflower ?

Would be simple to put it where I took out my vented heater and have good gas supply to it from the outside.

Could pull the vent pipe out of the wall right there maybe as well and have a 6" vent hole.

Sunflower heater sounds risky,I would definetly NOT use during sleeping hrs. Start looking for a new furnace. My guess is you may find sales on them now or very soon.

Any unvented heat source, expecially one like a sunflower, can put some serious moisture in a house also. Keeping a window cracked will help but I ruined the "wood trim" (As they call it) in my wheel house with that type of heater when my furnace quit. So much moisture that the sawdust based trim absorbed it and then expanded. Looks terrible now. Just my 2 cents...

If I were you I would just get yourself a new heater and be done with it, trying use something just to get you by is not the anwser,it might get you dead. and I hate it when I wake up dead.
