Garage Heater?
My garage is fully insulated and now has a small supply of electricity, any recomendations on heating this thing? I could also run gas out there if that's the way to go, just don't want to spend all the extra $ on pipes when I won't be in there every day.
I'm thinking somthing with a thermostat so I can turn it on and it will just maintain a decent temperature, but I don't know what brands or types/styles of heaters are most efficient or good cost/benefit ratio. I'd like to get cracking again on my baby, and I'm a wimp these days. When I built my bug the first time, I was 16, and I could see my breath many times working on it, so it's kinda been there, done that! Thanks, Jason

You need a heater in California ??
Anyway, DONT get one of those propane tube heaters that you see in construction. I bought one and regret it. Although they work really well, they are super noisy and the smell gives me a major headache. I was over at a buddy the other day and he had one of those kerosene heaters. That one seemed to work pretty well. Rob. |

I'm a little worried about the gas stuff. If it burns, it needs oxygen, and cracking a window or door seem kinda counterproductive to keeping the heat in. That said, I don't know how much heat costs per therm I guess for electric vs gas/propane.
Oh, its Nor Cal to, much colder here! There was ice on the water outside my house a couple of days ago. Jason

I have a radiant heater that works pretty well in the garage. Actually I have two. I have a half dozen metal strips screwed to the ceiling and magnets on the heater so I move it around to the area I need the heat.
