Safety question

[docdave]

I was planning to distill in my garage with the door propped open a couple of feet at the bottom. A fan will be used to exhaust any fumes from the rig. The garage door faces the street so I'm reluctant to open the door fully. A side door to the garage could be opened fully if necessary. Would this work or should I think about a different setup. It's already starting to get cold here in the GW North. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I distill in garage in the winter also. I think opening the side door with a fan would be very sufficient.

I have my garage door open about 12" and then open one of the windows as well to get a cross breeze going. It will warm up the garage a bit but isn't a problem.

I've done it in the shop before but I think I'm going to build a fire box with a air intake and exhaust. Lots of folks use propane inside just be really careful. If you burn your house down the insurance company might not cover you.

Thanks guys, This is just a temporary setup. There is less flammable stuff hanging around in my garage than in my kitchen. I am planning to build a shed behind my house in the spring. Maybe insulate it and send an extension cord out there. Don't want a city building inspector poking around for electrical problems.
