I was in a customers shop today that has a Thermobile AT307 waste oil furnace.
With a couple fans in the shop, it heats his shop, engine assembly room, parts room, and office. It's slick little unit that he wheels in the back room during the summer. He has had it for quite a few years with little maintenance. The major drawback is that it isn't automatic so he has to manually light it each morning.
Looks like the #305 model is a radiant heater. The more deluxe models have a forced air fan. There's quite a bit of info on the net about home built units
but they look pretty crude and I'm sure unsafe. Any of you guys have anything that works good for you? Mike
