Thanks to Russell, "weekendadventurer" for the idea! I'd love to see some of you guys try these out and post a video response to let us know how they turned out! Thanks for watching!! God bless and keep you safe in the rough ride ahead. PS Denatured alcohol can be found with the paint thinners and varnish strippers, etc...

Completed Homemade Propane Forced Air Heater

This is the completed (as far as I plan on completing it) propane forced air heater. The fan is from a kitchen exhaust vent hood. The rest is just various pieces of 6" and 8" ductwork and 1/4 galvanized piping. The final piece to get the flame right was the polyurethane can in the back-center of the inner tube. In this run I estimate it to be putting out around 100000 BTU, but by reducing the amount of air bypass I can get it up to at least 200000 BTU, limited only by how much gas the 20 lb. cylinder will put out. For those interested I made a forum thread covering the process. backyardmetalcasting.com
