Put an inexpensive box fan in front of the heater pointing away.


Good idea. I'll tinker with that.


A Florida type ceiling fan to bring the heat back down might help
also. I think what would help most however is one or more suspended
infrared electric heaters but you'll need a heavy duty 220 volt
circuit for them.

A wood stove might be cheapest of all. The old pot bellied variety
really throw off a lot of heat.


Here's the cheap wood stove route. I hope the link works.

I have one in my barn. it's great when tinkering out there on an
evening. I throw sticks and limbs in there that I have to pick up out
of the yard anyhow.

Wow. That brings back some old memories.
When I was 11-12, a groups of us kids built a log cabin that was about 10x10
on State land in the AZ Rocky Mtns where I was born and grew up.
One of the boys got hold of an old drum and stove pipe and built a wood
stove. That one was verticle, set on cinder blocks and got the little cabin
so hot we couldn't stay inside.
