Thoughts?

Did you shut your fantastic fan vent on the ceiling ?
We don't have problems heating our 23ws

Go to harbor Fright and buy IR heat gun. About $15.00. Point and shoot. It will tell you what it puts out. My 30,000 btu unit puts out 125 degrees.

We did exactly that. While it wasn't hard, it was a bit tedious. But, the end result was worth it. Details can be viewed here.

Install adjustable floor vents. You can turn down or turn off as you wish.
