Dyna-Glo RMC-LPC80DG 50,000 to 80,000 BTU Liquid Propane Convection Heater

Awesome way to heat my shed fast! Heats a 200 sf shed to 80 deg in 15 minutes in the middle of winter. Also use it in the garage with the door cracked without issues.

Used once so far so good. Heated my one-car garagefrom 40F to 60F in about 15 minutes, while the 20lbtank sat outside in about 30F. I provided some ventilationas suggested, and I run a CO monitor in there anywayand it did not detect any. The unit is no louder thanyou would expect from its action, even on high.I preferred high because the flame was almost all bluecompared with the mostly yellow of low - I think thatmay be a slightly cleaner burn. I think the main thingto consider, especially for first timers, is radiantvs. convection. I was replacing a failed tank-top radiantstyle, and I did very much like the "heat-from-a-distance"of radiant while I worked in my cold garage. With thisunit you are basically heating the air in the garagewith very hot propane fumes, and to a much lesser extentbeing a hot radiating object. In other words, with the basictank-top style you can target the heat toward yourselfand accomplish the purpose even if the ambient is notso warm. That also works well outside, just to getsome radiating relief or warm your hands. I supposeone could simply buy both, and I might just do that butmeanwhile I am very satisfied with this convection heaterfor my garage workshop. The quality seems good, and itwill hopefully last for many winters. One small complaintis that the top circular piece has a fairly sharp edge.Handle it carefully when unpacking, setting up, or storing.At the present price of about $55 I think it is a very good value,and with Prime it was in my hands in two days, free shipping.

This is an awesome heater. I bought two of these along with two 100 lb tanks for my construction company this winter as we renovate houses and commercial properties in the New England where it can get COLD.The heater will connect directly to your standard 20lb tank or most all tanks inclluding the 50 lb and the 100 lb tanks as is, no other regulators or adapters are required. Easy peasy.Yes, it is loud when it is on full blast but it will warm up your space fast. Whether we use it in a 1600s.f. house of a 3000s.f. comml building basement, it does the job. Our upcoming jobs are a 12,000 s.f. (4000sf/flr) school and a 12000sf gymnasium.Caution regarding the 100 lb tanks. Not very many places will fill them unfortunately and they will usually inspect how you will be transporting the tanks. The place that does fill my 100lb tanks charges me $83, so it ain't cheap, but it is convenient to get them refilled less often than smaller tanks. If I was to do it over again, I might go with the 50lb tanks if they can be refilled anywhere, but I'd have to check around. I'd research my local area before deciding which size tanks are best for you. But nonetheless, this heater is great and I recommend without reservation.

I'm using the 25,000 BTU model with a 20 pound tank in my two car garage. Only one wall is insulated. The past few days, it's only been about 6 degrees for the high, so I've been running it on high. It keeps the garage at around 45-50 degrees. I'm using a fan to move the air, otherwise I end up with a very warm spot where the heater is, with the rest of the garage very cold.At full power, it's fairly loud, but not overpowering. I have the garage door closed, but there are air leaks between the panels and on the side of the door. I have a CO detector in the garage and it has not registered above 0 yet. I run the heater for a couple of hours at full blast, then turn it down below halfway to maintain the temperature. Our outdoor temperatures this time of year are typically in the high 20s or low 30s, so this unit is appropriate, I think. If we had single digit temps all winter, like we're having now, I would have opted for the next higher unit.This one came fully assembled, other than the hose, so setup was quick and easy. It started on the first try. Obviously the surfaces get very hot, so use care in where you place it and keep an eye on your kids and pets.
