It's finally getting below 50degrees here at night, and I'm looking for more garage heat. Standard 2 car garage with leaky overhead door....
Last year I had an oil radiator with blower and ceramic tower both with 1500 watts. They worked ok after a 30-45 minute warmup period. Looking at a 15,000 watt ceramic heater top that attaches to a propane large propane bottle (bbq grill size). Anyone use this and does it work? Other portable heaters that work? |

I have a propane powered Dyna Glo 40,000 btu heater. It works great for my 25x25 high ceiling garage. I use the propane tank from the BBQ in the garage during the winter. I think it was a Home Depot special. It is loud though, it sounds like a blow torch. I only run it for 10 minutes or so every couple of hours when its in the 50s or below. Glad I bought it. It has other uses seeing that it shoots out a large flame.

I just don't feel comfortable cracking open fuel supply lines while using it, but for everything else it's fine. |
