Cheap kitchen heat?

[Windy Acres]

We just finished up our 10x12 kitchen, it is all insulated and im wondering what to keep it heated with, ive been looking at the wall mounted vent free heaters and not hearing much good about them, condensatoin and polluted air, and suggestions on an affordable vented heater, not really looking to spend an arm and a leg--

Our kitchen is 10X 20 and the have no heat because we have a 5' range and it keeps it above 35 degrees. Before the large range we had a pellet stove for heat.

They make wall-mounted, VENTED heaters too. Most require an electric source to run the exhaust fan, and they do intake and exhaust through one hole in the wall.

My kitchen area is not quite as big, only 8x14, but I am thinking about going with electric baseboard , but I probably won't keep it that warm in there.maybe 50°

I scored an propane RV furnace with electronic ignition and a tankless water heater out of a water damaged RV. Im going to ditch the thermostat and replaced with a temp controller as the stat only goes down to 55 an i dont need more 40 or so. This should be big enough to heat the RO room and the kitchen area if needed. The nice thing about furnace is it mounts through the wall like an AC unit so just mount, plug it in to 120 and Add a propane bottle. I ended up paying 50 bucks for the whole rig.

My kitchen is 11x12 and I have one of the oil fired radiator heaters. Works good, is cheap and cost about $ 40 anywhere. I keep on lowest setting to keep water from freezing and works good. Have 3.5" insulation in walls and 8" in ceiling and same thing I use in RO room and bathroom too, just keep them little warmer.

How often does it get to 15-20 below zero in WV? Just curious if these heaters might work for me.

Thanks for the ideas guys, yes i would be interested if they would work for us up here in ny

Depends, some years we don't have but a few times it gets below zero, other years quite a bit. Don't see double digits below much, but see wind chills there a lot.

The heater I referenced in reply #3 does have a blower but it will work in a power outage, however the blower will not work. If the heat does not dissipate fast enough it will shut down on high limit. While that is not ideal, it will work. However I do not suggest to use it without a power supply, the high limit should not be used all the time as a plan.

Im beginning to wonder if the stove we got would keep it warm, it is a commercial unit, my original intentions were to plug off the 6 pilot lights, as i will only really need 1 or 2 burners, thoughts?

[Windy Acres]

Ivthink im wasting my time with that thought, i douby 6 pilots will keep is warm

This(oil filled electric radiator) is what I use in NE Ohio. Its can get close to that cold outside at times. It works well for my ro room and my "social" room.

[Windy Acres]

Heus, what do you figure it costs to run that per winter?

[heus]

About $40 a month I would guess

[Windy Acres]

We got one of these oil filled radiators, one with a thermostat, we will see how it works, thanks for all the replies !

Heus,
I didn't see a link, what radiator do you have. I'm considering something to take the chill off until we get boiling hard. Thanks
