Second the motion for ventless natural gas ,electric bill dropped like a stone .  Worth the effort to set up!  Electricity is just to expensive to heat a big room.

I've got one of these to heat my garage, but I need serious BTU's ... https://www.google.com/#q=hot+dawg&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=ubWxUbjKC-GdyQGO24G4DA&sqi=2&ved=0CD4Qsxg&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=d1b72d04d0521783&biw=1920&bih=913

Maybe they make something really small that would work?

Lowes $40 was buying my Dad a chop saw and decided to toss it on the order having some decent die off thinking the weather and inconsistent temps may be the cause.

The oil filled electric seems to be doing a fine job.  My room is only 10x10 or so and it heats it very fast and efficient,  I leave it on the lowest setting and am often able to turn it off completely .

Good to see you guys have found those oil-filled ones.  ;)

I've stopped by some big box stores and only gotten funny looks when I ask about buying a space heater during the summer.  ;D
