these are significantly more than 220v electric heaters but research is telling me they heat better.
I'm not worried about humidity.
I keep two dehumidifies with hose bypasses on both ends of my stone basement because of moisture.
now paper doesn't even mildew.
if I can find a used pellet stove cheap enough i may put one down there also.

As Zebidee points out, burning things in enclosed spaces (especially below ground level) is a bad idea.
Residue from burning ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- wreaks havoc with finishes anyway.
The electric thing probably won't kill you or pollute your work- and they work!

Mine's not so much a cave. I can see the backyard through the door and two small windows. It's only five steps below grade in the back. At my previous house, you could walk out at ground level.
I watch a lot of HGTV. Always bugs me that houses in Texas are built on slabs. All my plumbing, electrical, & HVAC are easily accessed and serviceable because they are in an unfinished basement. Don't need to crawl in the attic, crawlspace, bust concrete or tear open walls to fix anything.
I bought a carbon monoxide detector with a level readout for the basement when I started using the kerosene heater. It has never read anything but zero, even when placed near the heater. I am paranoid that it doesn't work. I keep meaning to take it outside and put it next to the tailpipe. There is another carbon monoxide detector upstairs.

Slabs are slow, loud, and banging.

the one i'm looking at is 220v, a few dollars more, 5k watts and puts out 17k BTU.

i'll also need to buy an external thermostat and breaker for the panel so looking at closer to $175.
but...i have uninsulated steel basement doors leading out.
so, i need to put the insulated exterior door a friend gave me in the opening so i'm not just funneling hot air outside.
but i need to move my brewing equipment first so i have room to do it.
it's a process. :laugh:
