Once it gets up to temp I bet it would maintain it good enough. If you can find a convection one like that with around 120K or more, it would be worth the extra $$$. > > If you dont mind the noise, good old kero 200kBTU salamandor will heat it up fast and if it has a thermostat it will kick on and off by it self and maintain it well. > > they only stink when they kick on initally… when it fires up it richens the mixture up a bit and a puff of smoke usually comes out, then once the element gets red hot, it chills out and just blows alot of air and a little bit of combustion. > > But yeah propane is the way to go if you get a big enough unit.
