Mark I have one 20x48 ft house that is heated with a 100000 btu propane heater. At 60 degrees and outdoors night temps in the teens to 30 degrees you will burn roughly 10-15 gallons a day.  Single digit temps and wind will consume 20 gallons a day. I use oil in all my other houses its a lot more economical... Bob.

Paul    Congrats on the new tractor : ) aint new toys great. I am looking seriously at a bcs 852 and planning on building at least one high tunnel this comeing year, and maybe a green house . What is your opinion of the 20 x 48 unit that atlas sells? wonder how much propane it takes to heat that critter. Hope all is well with you all and the winds havent give you much trouble lately Mark A AbnerBriarPatch FarmsRitner KY
