In case anyone misunderstood my intent of the previous post, it was NOT made
to in any way to discredit or belittle John's installation -- actually quite
nice given the amount of space used. I am merely stating valid comparisons
based on personally examining both types heaters and the manufacturers
efficiency ratings. If it came across differently then I apologize for doing
so.

I also didn't mean that the Propex could pay for itself in fuel savings, but
in the bigger picture of pollutants. Very small difference in the overall
picture, if one looks at it that way. If that makes me an 'environmental
wacko', Robert K, then so be  it. Someone has to be. :-)
