Is it some sort of natural or propane heater?
 
yeah, definitely a gas heater.
 
wait. strike that. looks like maybe oil heater...
 
now I'm in the wrong danged forum for something like this, lol.
 
I actually left it on site and it's about 30 miles away, so maybe they'll be selling it next year. I really should have just bought it. I think they wanted like $15 for it or something. Every labor day there is a small engine and tractor show and the town has a huge citywide yard sale thing. Hopefully nobody else bought it.
 
Looks alot like the drip-type fuel oil heater my father used to heat his shop many years ago. Thanks- that brought back some fond memories.
 
Yep, looks like an old oil heater to me. Those things show up on CL pretty often. I can't remember what they ask for them though.
 
That is exactly it. your google-foo skills are strong.

35,000BTUs? What the heck?!?!? I DO need that for the shop. Dang, man.
 
i think that would look cool all painted with gloss red engine enamel out in my shop.
 
FYI, looks like heater does not have the 2.5-3 gallon tank on the back. However the line is there. Throttle valve has 1 to 5 setting, 1 will run me out of my garage in about an hr...
