Now that I'm retired, I'm ready to add a heater to my workshop. It is 24'X32' with 9-foot ceiling, drywall over a wood frame with 3.5" insulation in the walls and 6" in the ceiling, sits on floating concrete slab. Wanting to preserve as much floor space as possible, I've been seriously considering the ceiling mounted LP fueled 75,000 BTU "Big Maxx" Mr. Heater from Northern Tool. I'm not looking to maintain heat all the time; just during the daytime when I'm working on my tractor or antique truck, or need to give my wife some time to herself. I'd like to be able to work out there even when the outdoor temps are at 0 degrees F. here in Central New York State. Anybody have experience with those heaters? Do they work well? Am I on the wrong track? Advice accepted. Tom
