Sorry for being so vague. What you understood me to say to say was" please buy my heater or kill yourself with Bob's briquet heater." Waht I really said was The BA-6 heater is the factory solution to heating an air-cooled Vanagon. Or you can put a wood stove, or a briquet stove that is made from TYPE2 aircleaner, an invention of Bob Hoover's. I'm not at all suggesting some put a barbecue inside the Vanagon. That should be a little more clear. In case you did'nt know, Boston Bob wrote an article on how to build a heater using a VW Bus aircleaner housing. It is safe as it vents the fumes out thru a stove pipe. You need to be a little tin-snips savvy but it looks like an interesting set-up. In case you are wealthy you can always get a Hotpod. http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/08/hotpod-stove-air-cooled-just-like-its-origins/ Robert 1982 Westfalia --- Tabe Johnson <greentabe-vanagon@YAHOO.COM> wrote: > > > > I think it's a awful idea.
