Garage Hot Dog heater

Although the exhaust is vented on the unit I do not believe combustion air comes from outside.

I heat two outbuildings with LP Gas ceiling mounted heaters. The brand I have is Reznor. Building one is 936 sq ft, Building two is 700 sq ft. A third outbuilding is a small craft studio at 140 sq ft that has an LP monitor wall mounted heater. All three units are vented outside and all three buildings are insulated (R 19 walls, R 30 ceiling) and sheetrocked. I have a 1000 gallon buried tank that supplies the three buildings. In 2019 it cost $1400 in propane. Like others have said, I keep it at 50 degrees and crank it up when I go out there, heats in minutes.

I use a Mr Heater vent free blue flame in my little one car garage without any issues with condensation. I have to keep it on low or it will drive me out. Problem is it uses a bunch of propane. I am getting it plumbed for NG next winter.
