hello

been curiuos to see if anyone has vamped up a patio pellet heater to work indoors.Some look really nice and ive cehcked sme ut and with a door gasket, a damper on the flue and connecting it to a chimney, it would seem these units could pssibly be used indoors. non electric gravity fed.

I am pndering buying one from tractor supply which is built pretty good from what i see, but havent been able to inspect one up close.

door gasket, flue damper, caulking around the seams and crakcs and such?

has anyone thought about this
 
I've been wondering the same thing. Heat up the garage real quick!
 
I was curious since they put out some heat. and if connected to a good chimney with clearances and such in the house with a properly connected flue to the heater, and a gasket on the door since it doesnt look like it has one, im betting this would be a very low cost non electric pellet heater for the home. I have a double ply stainless steel liner ,smooth walled, and wrapped with 2400 deg ceramic wrap.

So it would have to burn thru the liner and the wrap t d any damage. HA.ne thru tractr supply there is 2 variations. one sells for 199 and the other one looks more hefty and it sells for around 250 to 300.

If it can used in semi open areas i bet we could caulk the seams, where the flue would connect, add a door gasket and put a damper in the flue to control the heat alittle bit.
 
Pretty cool looking heater

You might want to check out a diesel heater if it's for a shed or garage. Otherwise, you can't put anything in the house to heat that cannot be approved by your insurance company
