These past few chilly days, I've been using an infrared heater
outdoors on the front porch. It'll heat a row of people, but you may have to play with the seating to get everybody to their accustomed "core" temperature.
Even against the wind, there's an odor of rubber in the air, and my shoes seem to be getting hotter and softer!
If you really need a "forced air" heater, try the 1300 watts of a "dairy heater". This example doesn't have a thermostat like mine, but they're built along the same lines. Of the two that I have, the
Peloris is far more substantial in build quality. (It's really heavy). In a moderately-sized room, you'll probably have to turn it down.
I've never used the 1500-watt setting that
Peloris provided.
Can you tell how many seasons this cottage was built for?
