Pinch Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Circumstances are forcing me to either use one instead of a radiator for a while, placed probably 7 or 8 feet from my guitars. It's the kind that clicks on when temp dips, and vice versa. I'm making sure the temp is even where the guitars are. Will that be fine, do you think? The alternative is no heater and 55-59F. If it's not one thing, you can be sure it's another. Am using a humidifier and will keep RH in check.

Murph Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I use the ones with light bulbs all over my big old uninsulated house, along with natural gas ventless wall heaters. They work fine. Humidity is the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimt Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 I have a oil filled radiator style heater. 110v Set at what ever degree of temp you need. It will keep it warm. Its on wheels so it can be moved around if needed. its a good item to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the guitars are placed directly against it. I'm sure a regular radiator dries the air out less, but a humidifier should probably offset it for a few days. I'm assuming hardcases help too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 All my Gibbys and my Cash Martin D35 mostly live in their cases during the winter. I keep each case supplied with a damp rag in a plastic sandwich bag, with the bag partially open at the top. We’ve got a humidifier attached to the furnace now, but I don’t think it does a real good job. The case is the best place in winter for my guitars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Space can get pretty cold, which is why astronauts wear special suits while in space. I don't know of any heaters that could handle that job. 🤪 Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearbasher Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) This is the first thing that came to mind when I saw the title: "Space Heaters" I guess it's the Brooklyn in me. Edited February 12, 2023 by gearbasher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
