To Snoggle,

My heater is a Charmglo and it's almost exactly like the one at the following link. It's an infared heater with 3 ceramic tiles. In my message to Stressbaby I included a link but that link is to a blue flame heater. I then realized that my heater is not a blue flame heater, but is the infared. It has a pilot light and the 'flame' goes right up the ceramic tiles which glow orange. I believe I did some research at the time I bought it and concluded that the infared was more efficient for my needs and I've been very happy with it.

Regarding the greenhouse fan, I purchased it from American Plant Products in Oklahoma City. I believe it is the 12 inch J &D GREEN BREEZE HAF FAN W/CORD
Order #: 55-VBG12 See the following link.

American Plant Products is primarily wholesale, but will sell to individuals if you ask. My fan is NOT the typical flat & wide fan, but is shaped more deep - more like a small barrel made of coated wire. The photo below is similar to my fan.

Hope this helps! Let me know how your 'unvented' heater works out for you! I have one in my detached garage too.
