Jet fuel is just fancy kerosene. You can see all the water when a jet passes overhead and leaves con(densation)trails behind. However, I would be more concerned with carbon monoxide from a torpedo heater. Mike Do you know how much air a jet engine sucks in? It is a huge amount and that air is also ...

Just look at a chimney when the furnace is running in the winter and you can see the water vapor. High efficient furnaces that use the pvc piping for exhaust also plus they have a condensate drain off of the heat exchanger. Just happen to have my Combustion Engineering Inc had book here with me at ...

"Utah would be a nice vacation destination. That 10er is sweet!"

Bruce,

If you want one it could be arranged if you come to Utah. Refurbished for actual cost and a few bucks.

The last time I used mine was for turning a plug for 10ER way tubes and supporting those tubes for cleaning. Like you I use a screw driver and then check tight after mounting.

John as I get ready to post this I will hit my stop watch for a perfect #s from Wild Cat Country ;) I am still flabbergasted about your torpedo heater, even with really great complete combustion and orderless kerosene, the general rule for NG, Propane, kerosene, for every 100K BTUs 1 gallon of H2O ...

John, that must be one heck of a heater or you my the real pure no odor kerosene? Not regular heating stuff. After seeing pics of your shop I would have thought you had a better system to go with all the rest of a A1 shop, but as most of us, only so much bling to go around. Well it is just a 15 yea...

29 degree mornings here - 70 degree afternoons. I use a portable space heater and a 500 watt iron lamp in the mornings. The space heater has a glowing red wire and a dish reflector. I blow off the reflector every day. Don't need heat at mid day. just open the door. Sounds like spring and fall here....

My shop is 30' X 40' with a 9 1/2' ceiling. It is not heated all the time. I use one of those kerosene (blow torch) forced air space heaters. I have it on a thermostat so it doesn't run all the time. I used the same one in the garage before I built the shop. It is 55,000BTU and would drive you out o...

Don't know if it's ok to sneak this in on this thread, but how do you get a picture small enough to use as an avatar? Just use a picture display program. I use MS Office to reduce the size of the pictures I upload. I use 1024X768. Avitars are much smaller but MS Office will let you specify the dime...

So is this one for about $350. :) :) You selling it? :D I don't know about this one but there 4 more in the queue that probably will be on the market. Actually of the 5 here there will be 3 on the market if someone wants them. All with speed changers and they will have new OEM motor, spindle and dr...
