Propane back-up
3 years ago, I bought a propane back-up heater from Tractor Supply.
I also bought a Vanguard, blue flame heater from Southern States. The Tractor Supply unit was built be Energroup, Cleveland ,Ohio. I LOVE it!!! I went back to get another one. There was none there. The Vanguard was such a disapointment, that I will cringe even worse than I did when my Vanguard Money market tanked. I now, till tomorrow night, own a PRO_COM propane heater. It will be boxed back up on Wed, and I will be RETURNING it to Tractor Supply. IF they can not provide me with a similar heater to the one that I bought 3 years ago, for a similar price, I will be asking for a refund! The one I bought 3 years ago was built in Cleveland. The POS that I hauled home tonite was built in CHINA! I'm sorry, I can't HEAR the PHONE ring, because the FAN on this PIECE OF CRAP CHINESE heater drowns it OUT! GRRRRR!!!

IF you were freezing to death, it would seem like a deal. I lit this POS an hour and a half ago. I'm still wearing my 3rd layer! The 'papers' say that it will heat 700 Sq feet. BS!!! I'm in a 500 SQ ft room and I'm not HAPPY!!

Re: Propane back-up
Key word "CHINA". Everything is going to crap. Even all of our knives are made in china now. I always look for the "Made in USA" but it is soooo hard to find now.

I will be hauling this POS heater back to tractor supply and buying the 'caboose pot belly stove' that Southern States offers for $550. Then I can burn coal or wood and be WARM! I already have a 1947 pot belly in my kitchen. It does great! This shack is 125 feet long and has been here for 165 years. I'm trying to heat the other half. I have an Ashley propane space heater that kicks on when the wood/coal gets low. I was trying to do the same for the other end of the house that, in years past, was shut off for 4 months when it got really cold out. If I have to choke on propane fumes., I will PASS!! I smell propane fumes right now! This POS has to GO!

My list of places to NEVER go again, Lowes Bob's Big Boy. McDonalds, Tractor Supply The first 3, I have not been to for over a decade. The last item has been added in the last 36 hours. I have not been in a 'bob's since my 19 year old daughter was 9 months old. The sign said, kids eat free. I had 3 kids. I was presented a bill for $23. for the 'kids'. I didn't read the fine print. I have not been in a Lowes since I found out 6 years ago, that they LIED on my credit report. (they showed that I stiffed them for $5,000. when I had a cancled check for the $2,500. that I actually owed them!) They had added 4 ZEROS to my account number, then ran it through again. I had to pay a lawyer to get that straightened out! My last McDonalds experience went like this... I was driving a bus. I had a schedule to keep. Since my bus wouldn't fit the drive-thru, I parked the bus and walked in. I paid for my order, then stood there while 12 orders went out the drive-thru window. I ran out of time, so I left. I came back an hour later and asked if my order was ready yet. The manager asked what I had ordered. I told him. He said that he needed 3 'specials' to the kitchen crew. I found out what a 'special' was. About 6 miles later, when I had a chance to open the bag. The sandwitches were SMASHED to about 1/2 inch thick! I thought about driving my BUS through the window. I decided that I would NEVER eat a McSwill garbage heart attack again! I have eaten PART of 2 'offerings', when someone else bought them. I couldn't EAT them, after being away from that kind of CRAP for a few years! The FAT stuck to the roof of my mouth! My stoumach closed up and would not accept the TRASH! Now, on to Tractor Supply.... I really regret that they have stooped so LOW to sell worthless HEATERS!! This POS just kicked on again. I'm still cold and the smell of propane fills the room! I will be droping this POS off at TS as soon as I get the PotBelly installed sat!

I can't believe you haven't added WalFart, Target, Sears and KFart to that list.

I have a propane heater that I LOVE. It was built by Ashley. The 'replacement' went back Sunday afternoon and the 'replacement for the replacement' has a 'SOLD' sign on it at Southern States. It is a U.S Stoves version of the old 'Cabose' stoves that the railroad used for 100 years. It is a little bit larger than the 'pot belly' that is in my kitchen! I am sure that the latest 'choice' will be FAR better than what they tried to sell me! I had the only 'hot coffee and scrambled eggs' in the neighborhood when the last 'Power-Outage' hit the 'hood'. We had a guy camping on our couch that had walked a mile to get here! I would rather 'hunt and gather' firewood than be at the mercy of the oil and/or electric companies, when it comes to providing HEAT to the family!
