I used to use one. Yeah, noisy. And I got tired of buying fuel all the time.

Expensive but I use an electric heater now. Safe, quiet, efficient, doesn't take up much space. I keep it a constant 60 degrees at all times in winter. Perfect for working.
Sorry for the thread hijack.

Re: 76 cafe resto/restore
Been thinking gas, forced air. But electric is a good clean way to go. My next shop will have one or the other
