Sunfire Heaters Anyone?

[John T]

According to the website, they have near zero carbon monoxide output.

Yeah, I saw that..... Although "near Zero" is not Zero

But it does sound like they are pretty efficient and relatively safe.




Unlike torpedo-style forced air heaters, SunFire’s radiant technology delivers zero odor and near-zero carbon monoxide emissions, making them safe for indoor use. All models are proudly Made in USA in Janesville, Wisconsin with commercial-grade components built to last.

Picked up the SF80 at the Depot this morn.
Pretty much ready to go out of the box.... fill it with fuel / hit the electric prime button.... Turn it on

And it fired right up.
I expected a slight smell because its new.... but nothing.
It's not silent, but it's not loud either..... not really an issue.

It throws off some HELLA-HEAT !!!

I have plastic floor tiles in the garage and I could see them getting warm and flexing a bit.
I have 4x4 piece of cement board I'm gonna place on top of a few bricks to protect the floor.

I think this is gonna work out nicely when that New England freeze comes...

Comes with a wire harness to use an analog thermostat.... nice feature.

Be very careful where you point that thing. If it gets too close to plastic things (e.g. a bumper cover) they will develop sags and wrinkles.
