Not much, about the equivalent of one top burner on a gas range.
BTU = a unit of heat equal to the amount of heat required to raise one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit at one atmosphere pressure; equivalent to 251.997 calories

It all depends on what kind of heater it is. Hot water baseboard is rated at about 600 btu's per foot at 180 degrees. That about 8 feet. Good for a medium size bedroom if well insulated.

12000 BTU/hr make 1 TR of air conditioning. So 5000 is slightly less than a TR of heat.

well lets see...not much in my opinion. I have a propaine forced air heater thats putting out about 50,000BTU. I can keep a heavily gloved hand infront of it for about 4 seconds before it starts to smoke...yet you wont feel it much unless you set it up in an insolated garage like i did for welding in the winter.

About enough to heat one insulated bedroom.
