was told that greehouse heaters do a good job anyone got one?

I have a gas heater that I put in when it gets to -4. Runs off propane from a company referbing a barge. Ebay. Not free standing but screwed in. Dont run it during the day but have it on low over night. Do you want pictures?

I use a fan heater, only cost about £8 from Wilkinson's, does the trick :)

I had one,.. it was a cheap job from B&Q and it made a right mess of my shed,.. I'm sooo glad i never put it in the van! It would burn smoke free for a few hours & then sometime in the middle of the night start giving off black smoke. EVERYTHING in my shed got covered in a black greasy residue which was very hard to clean off.
I've ordered an aquarium heater for my van tank this year(I figure its underwater so much less of a fire risk!) and an oil filled rad in the shed.

I guess it will have to be either a wilko's fan heater or oil filled rad trouble is they need plugging in and that means cable through letter box to van where i will have to shut the van door on the plug cable, any suggestions?.

I have my extension running through my letterbox.

Also I put 3 quilts over the system, that helps as well.

I also have an extention running through my letterbox, looks like there a few of us about :D

I use a tube heater. Extension lead runs under the garage door.
Also runs behind the van for several miles if I forget. ::)
