Need to heat my garage.. its a decent sized 2 car garage, raised ceiling and all.... It is NOT insulated worth crud.
I only need heat when I am working out there and can wait 30 mins or so for it to warm up. I went looking at the local ACE HARDWARE store this weekend and found a kerosene heater, 10,900 btu, $129.99. Burns 14-16 hours, warms a 20x20 room. Kerosene there is about $25.00/5 gallon bucket, but I can find it cheaper elsewhere. The kerosene heater looks like a small electric furnance. Looks similar to this one:
KEROSENE
They also have propane radiant heaters that fit on top of your propane bottle.. Not quite sure how long they last though, they were out of stock at the ACE closest to me. They would probably heat the room FASTER, but I need to check on how long they last and how safe they are.
So, what would you guys get, or recommend besides these heaters for an attached garage. I just need the heat to take the bite off the air, not make it a sauna, and allow me to work on my vehicles in relative safety.
