Mad,
That's what I understood too - that diesel burned alot dirtier with some stink. I've only burned K-1 so far and I don't think the smell is really all that bad (certainly no worse than my little 28K btu convection heater .... of course it might be because of how much ventilation the building has. I have a ridge vent the entire length, plus a 1' overhang on all sides with perforated soffit, and I haven't managed to get the gap under the skirtboard closed up all the way yet - maybe about 75%. I have a 13' eave height, with a 23' or so peak.
Thus far, in sub 30° weather, the torpedo heater hasn't been able to move the temperature inside the barn at all from what I can see. But it's nice to stand in front of when you get cold working out there. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Like Duane was saying, probably the first thing I need to do (since I can't do concrete for a few months), is stick in a ceiling. I'd guess that would make a huge difference. Now the question is what to use .... ?
