A real test of the infrared gas heater

Yesterday the outside temperature peaked at -40°C/F and today it's still down in the 25's.
I have been keeping my overhead Calcana heater set at 50° F when not in the shop.
It has been right on the mark for the last 3 months.
Yesterday I went in and set the thermostat to 65° F and at - 40 outside it took about 10 minutes to reach a comfortable 65°. ( also a testament to the R22 Roxul wool insulation I used to encase the joint)
It also warms the metal on the table saw and the floor gets stocking foot warm in minutes.

"These devices":http://www.calcana.com/garage_why.html are everthing they claim and best of all they take no footprint with the vaulted ceiling design I chose.
