What she needs for heat depends entirely on the conditions.

How large an area to be heated?

Is it insulated?

What part of the country; how cold does it get there?

What code restrictions are there? (In some areas, specific equipment must be used)

Before winter, I put up a 13' x 20' temporary building, with the tarp-type fabric walls. We had temps into the -40'sF. Was made so that very little wind could get in, and only snow that was tracked in on shoes.

Inside this building, I made a small heated area for sharpening saw chain, etc. Little room was about 4'w x 6'l x 6'h, and was 2x4 frame draped with tarp for walls. For a door, the tarp fabric could overlap and be clipped to seal.

Inside, I had a small 1,500w heater that was plugged into another device that turns power on at 35F and off at 45F. The little heater spent on average about 70% of its time off. Keep in mind, I had the ThermoCube at the highest point, so it was colder at floor level. The setup definitely surpassed my expectations.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Generators - by Chris Pratt. As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we " ... [Read Article]
