For reasons connected with child safety, I keep my guns and all the reloading paraphernalia out in a shed rather than in the house. With a bleak winter setting in, said shed is becoming somewhat inhospitable in the evenings (hell, at any time), and the thought of installing some heating comes strongly to mind.
I'm seeking advice on what's both best and what's NOT advisable. Clearly anything with a naked flame is a no-go; with powders and other flammable stuff about, I just don't want to take the chance. I'd considered an electrically powered oil heater because it would just gently radiate heat & take the chill out of the air without exposed elements or anything potentially hazardous like that.
Most of what's in the stores is fan-driven heaters which blow a stream of hot air, but I'm not keen on them in case they create draughts which mess with the powder scale, although if I pointed the fan away from the loading bench it might work.
One of these days I'm going to get the shed reworked and possibly even install a rangehood for indoor lead-bullet moulding work (a somewhat different topic), but until then I'm just seeking a stop-gap.
Advice, anyone?
