71mach1 great idea. but my garage is completely seperate from my house. so no luck there

 

You could pack up and move out to Hawaii where I am.

I know how you feel though. I have a "new parts" shelf in my garage that always stays filled because I don't like to take my car apart for longer than a few days to put parts on.

When I lived in North Carolina, I had a space heater. I would turn it on 30 minutes before I went out into the garage. It is what it is.

These "floor" heaters are no joke. They pump out some serious heat. I worked in a VERY large shop (14bays 30 ft ceilings) and our heater went out one winter. They got 2 of those style heaters like in the pic, and it heated up that whole garage fairly quickly. And it kept it nice and warm in there too. I swear it was 75*F in there. And we were constantly opening the bay doors up pulling cars in and out.

With one of those heaters, you wouldn't even need to insulate your garage.

 

I'm going from a 100,000 btu natural gas "floor" heater to a wood burning stove. The problem with a lot of these heaters is burning any solvents that might be in the air and exhausting it back into the garage. We'll see how the wood burner works ($300 on craigslist) this winter.

 

That's what I would like to do too. I was looking at a small stove that would take the chill off. It would be nice,

 

i would love a small stove. this way i can also powder coat small parts and bake them. hehe but i dont have connection to natural gas

 

this got me going lol, it's brilliant and the final comment just makes the post. I'm still laughing about it
