Thread: Oil burning shed heaters

    It's miserable and drizzling rain at the moment, we only had 5.5mm overnight and I don't know how much we will get out of today's weather, but it's nice and cozy here. I've had the heater going since about 6:30am and wound back the heat from 500 degrees to 350 about two hours later.

    The Kitchen/Dining area is 76 degrees, and even the front room has the chill off it. I reckon that's a pretty reasonable outcome in an old 14 square stone cottage. You get used to it inside, but you only have to go outside for a few minutes to appreciate the difference when you come back in.

    I'll be out all afternoon doing a little job for a friend, I'll be looking forward to it when I get home.

    Hey Tony, how well does yours work? I'm going to build one the same, seems the simplest form of oil heater to make, LPG tank should do nice, may even butt 2 up for hight and more effective area, just my new shed is 25x10x5M high, not insulated, so seems a good way of trying to get some warmth for working through winter without burning tons of wood as anything wood fired won't do alot in that vast space

    Most people think that regarding cutting open LPG tanks, not from grinding round holes with straight grinders
