Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Heat for a reloading room?

Another vote for the oil filled radiator heater. I have one in my basement which is pretty big and it easily keeps it at 75 degrees.

A $20 ceramic heater will keep an insulated 8x12 room comfortable very inexpensively. Don’t overthink it.

Worst case scenario? You don’t like it and you’re out $20. You’s still find other uses for it.

I have a 12x12 insulated room I built in my barn and I use a little box heater 1250-1500 watts adjustable thermostat on it and it will warm the room up very quickly. I also found out if I plug in a 200 watt old style clear light bulb the ones that get very hot to the touch that it will keep the room at 42 degrees when the outside temp is 10 degrees like this morning.

Regardless of what you go with, be sure your powder and primers are kept cool and dry! High heat isn’t good for them and the chemicals start to break down. Cycling temperatures encourage condensation.

My reloading area is a concrete vault beneath the garage floor. The basement is heated so I just leave the door open so it gets some air circulating to keep it in the 50s this time of year.
