Hi All,
Thanks for the advice about the heaters. I do know that
it is probably going to be a loosing battle with the heat loss. Propane is
really expensive. Vermont is pretty cold this time of year and we will be
getting heavy freezes up until June 10th!!!! There is no way to go with
out some type of heat. I am hoping the profit from early produce and
healthy starts will pay for my propane!!!
I really appreciate reading all of the postings to this
list. I have really learned a lot. Thank you to everyone who
contributes.

Sometimes when you use multi heaters
one will draw air from the other causing a flameout, The Hot Dawg is a very
nice heater for a small house I like the power vent feature it eliminates the
tall flue pipe, if you get one then get the larger 75000 btu model its no
bigger than the 30000btu in size but for $60 more"1999 price list,"it will
come in handy if you expand the house in the future, I am in the process of
changing over all my heaters from propane to oil because of the high cost of
propane but I have never had a problem with Modine heater performance...

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. Kathy in
