im thinking about buying a pellet stove for my garage/barn maybe this year. i have been using pellets to heat the house the last couple of years and im fairly satisfied with them. it has been a reliable source of heat and i use natural gas only in a pinch. anyways i want to put a stove my garage this year but my stepfather is opposed to it. he keeps saying some nonsense that he doesnt feel its safe in a garage. he says its an "open flame" and its a hazard when you are working on small engines with possible gasoline in the building. i tend to disagree, im not going to be pouring gasoline on the stove, and usually IF any is spilled its a small amount. the thing is i have been using a kerosene torpedo type heater the last few years and i hate it. the kerosene is very expensive and it heats ok but the fumes are terrible. is there a danger with a pellet stove in a garage like that? i dont think so but i just wanted some input from you guys.
kerosene is now 4.29 per gallon and a gallon only lasts 2 hours or even less. thats over 2 bucks per hour. a few hours on my days off working in the garage could cost me almost 10 bucks for crappy heat. i think kerosene is getting to be to expensive for any practical use.
