Heaters for a small shop

HOTDAWG by Modine has a model that uses outside air for combustion. I’ve had a 45,000btu model for going on 3 years and it is super.

Your heater should be rated for Class II or III, Division 1 Hazardous locations per the National Electrical Code.

I agree with John, the Modine heater works well. I have had one for years in my shop. Of course if you are going to do finishing, you will have to turn the fan off so it doesnt blow dust around. A good air filter and dust collector helps.

I guess I don’t count for much in needing to heat in winter, but here in TX, I heat an 18×20 garage workshop with a 1600 watt oil filled radiator. It works beautifully, no flames or sparks to ignite sawdust or anything else…

Insulating the shop would help a LOT I bet…

I too have a small shop that I keep at 50 degrees full time with one of those oil filled radiator type heaters. My shop is insulated so it does not work very hard. I wipe any dust from the fins just to be safe. If I plan on using the shop I go out and kick on an additions space heater for about 30 minutes and it is nice and warm in there. While sawing, I do not run the space heater. Having a filtration system (Jet 1000B) in there is a must.
