Heating Outdoors With a Radiant Heater

by Rod McTavish on Mar 29. 2010 in Heating/Cooling, Yard

Natural gas heaters work well inside or outside but the real winners outside are radiant heaters. Radiant heaters use the same principle that the sun uses to heat, which if you have ever been in the south during the summer you will know works pretty well. It is simply that of light. Radiant heat passes through the air without actually warming the air and when it is absorbed by an object it heats the object. This is why as the altitude increases the temperature decreases even though we are getting close to the sun. We are getting farther away from the earth which is absorbing lots of radiant heat and heating up, thus warming the air in close proximity.

Wood Burning Stove Installation

by Rod McTavish on Mar 08. 2010 in Kitchen

Most of these insurance companies are going to require it be installed professionally. It is highly recommended that this be installed professionally, as there is a lot of precision involved, and one mistake can easily cause a fire to break out in your house or apartment.

Then you need to figure out exactly how big of a wood burning stove you will need. The best thing to do is consult someone who owns a hearth shop. Have this person come out, and he or she will help you determine the best wood burner for the size and space you have set out.
