In Reply to: infrared heaters?? posted by dave2 on December 05, 2010 at 08:36:44:
Dave, I have a 24x24x8 garage I use as a metal/wood workshop. Have (3) 1500 w IR heaters hanging from the ceiling. Point them in my direction and it feels like you are standing next to a fire. As an added bonus, each has a 100w high intensity quartz light built in. I feel like I'm working in an operating room with the bright lights. If I'm working on a wood project, I use an old folding ping pong talbe. Make a great work table for laying out the wood. Biggest wood project was a large china cabinet. Took 3 months to build from rough sawed oak.
35+ years ago, I worked in a steel mill where they had natural gas IR heaters hanging over 30 feet off the ground. You felt warm without heating the air.
Only one down side to IR, make sure you don't point them at something that could catch fire, like shop rags soaked with gas or straw.
The major upside is that the heat is instant, where it would take hours to heat the place with wood. Not to mention, the wood stove would take up too much valuable space in my small workshop.
