OK, I'll do that. Heard from one guy in Canada who
may be selling his Espar, but he hasn't quoted a price
yet. And maybe someone will have a used Dickinson or
other diesel heater for sale.
I'm undecided between diesel and propane. I know
diesel is safer, although propane may be easier to
use.
I also like the beer keg idea. If you didn't see that
email: Plumb a hot water on demand heater to a beer
keg with a small pump, and heat it up to maybe 125
degrees, then turn the heater off. The hot beer keg
sits under the table and keeps the cabin warm all
night. Gotta love inventiveness like that!!!
Although I might use a lower flatter tank, and use the
beer keg for, well, beer! :-)
