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? |

Insulation plus a small 240V electric heater. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) on the insulation -- 3 walls, ceiling, and garage door. I bought 7 fin oil heater from my local hardware store (80 bucks maybe?). Takes 1/2 hour to heat up but it will never get below 55 in the winter in my 22 x 24 garage while the heater is on, even when it's 0 deg F outside. For short jobs I put on a coat and suck it up. |
