Thanks, I'll have to look at smaller shops. i'm in Syracuse, new york, and it has a new billboarding campaign to "Buy Local', but of course, it also no compunctions about letting Wal-Mart in. (In effect, putting a lot of local businesses out of business, and adding a ton of employees to the underpaid-no-health care rollercoaster). BJs wholesale sounds national. I'll look around. The deals I saw were all from 200 to 400 bucks. (mainly big variations in BTUs, but I'm in a very small room here, so i don't imagine I need more than 9k BTUs, or so). Thanks.. brian s
