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?
