Reznor makes a good heater... Probably not cheap, but you don't want to skimp on heaters.

I had a blue flame several years ago. It was my first heater but I did have problems with it, flowers wilted ect.

I don't think I could go with another unvented stove and sleep at night.

I'm glad you have had no trouble with yours.

I'll look up the Reznor's. Thanks!

Modine "Hot dawg" works great.
Look at the International Greenhouse Company Greenhouse Mega Store has everything you need to build, equip, and maintain a commercial, hobby, school or institutional greenhouse. site.
Also Gas Heater - Power Vented - Garage Heaters, Residential Heaters, Greenhouse Heaters, Modine HD100 for the Modine heater I bought the HD 60 and it works very well for my 500 square foot greenhouse.

I have had Modine heaters most of my greenhouse life, but went with a separated combustion unit from Reznor a few years ago. It's a V3 UDAS model - basically the same design as the Modine Hot Dawg, but with the separated combustion.

When I replaced an equivalent BTU Modine with it, my propane consumption went down 40%.
