My in-law has a heater that runs on old engine oil in his place, starts it every morning with a bit squirt of petrol and a small explosion :-D I can find some details if thats the sort of thing you need.

i dont mean a workshop that houses one or two cars!!!

thanks for offer kev but we already have a propane heater and its use has been banned by insurance companys :cry:

just as well as the fumes it gave off meant we had to have the door open :roll:

I can just see you, Chris and Christian in these :D

Surely the guys that run Cool Ice across the road can advise you on this mate? I thought most air con style firms were well versed in keeping people warm as well as cool?
