Hi,
We just put in a 14x24 greenhouse.  We ordered these heaters from Southern Burner.  They are ment to go under the benches.  Has any one heard of these or used them.  They are propane and are rated at 20,000 BTU's each.  We are having some serious problems with them getting to burn. The propane company has been here two times!!!!  Something to do with the floor air being too cold to allow the heater to burn efficiently.   (So says the Southern Burner Company)  Don't I wish I had purchased a Modine.  I have plants that need to be in the greenhouse that are severely suffering inside under growlights. 
 
If I can convince this company to take the heaters back, my next choice would be a modine.  Has any one used the Modine Hot Dawgs in a greenhouse as small as ours.  We have it covered in 8mm twin wall polycarb. 
 
I would really welcome some suggestions and help on this one.  I am getting pretty worried about what to do next.
