One assumes you have tried the battery heated socks and chemical heat "hand
warmer" packets that hunters use? It is just personal heat, but do you
really need to heat your stall area or just have warm pockets to put your
hands into, warm head, and warm feet?

And I have seen folks set up their EZ Ups under the shed to use the side
walls for protection in the spring.

Subject: Re: [Market-farming] Propane Heater

I forgot to mention that electricity is not available to me at these 
markets.  I have thought about an  electric heater attached to a 
converter and a battery.  Any experience out there with this type of setup?

a radiative heat source, like a big electric quartz-type heater. The propane
heater will heat the air, which will fly away. A radiator will beam its heat
to you. Also, again without being able to recommend any models, I'd think
about a heated pad to stand on. Our heads can take quite a bit of cold
weather if our feet stay warm.
