I think one of these will fit the bill for you, but be aware that without a fan, it will take a long time to heat up a room, as this works more like a convection heater. I prefer the kind with open fins so a small low-powered fan will blow through the fins and gently move the air around and not cool it off. Also, my feeling is the open fins have more surface space so the heating is dispersed more efficiently.

It is tough when you run out of resources to the point you have to make short term decisions. Hope you get through this bump in the road....James

Yeah, counting my blessings. Grateful that I have a home and food and am still able to keep my cmpanions and flock of hens. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I just keep looking that way
