I am running the first full overnight test tonight.
Had it out in the shop today and supplemented it with the propane portable to boost it up.
It is running alone now, and the temp is falling a bit from where it was with the supplemental heat - but the temp outside is falling too.
Will be about 29 tonight - will take measurements tonight and in the morning.
The claim to fame of these things is they don't draw the kind of current other electric heaters do - but running the lamp heating the coils...then blowing air over them, it is a steady gentle heat - not good for heating a room up quick.
My goal is to avoid frozen pipes - so we'll see.
