Re: Heating your shop/garage

I have one of these in my 2 car garage, got mine at Home Depot. I’ve added some insulation to the walls but nothing above, still deciding how to finish it off and maintain access to the storage up there. Anyway, it’s 70,000btu, 5 gallons of kerosene lasts about 7 hours and it’s quiet, I can’t stand listening to those torpedo heaters. I normally put a scrap of 2x4 under my garage door to provide ventilation and can comfortably work without a jacket/coat on when it’s 30 degrees outside.

I brought it to work once when it was single digits outside and had to work inside the box of a box truck. We left the door open 6 inches, turned it on and had to work in our t-shirts. Funny part was putting our layers back on before shutting off the heater and being colder inside the shop than we were in the back of that truck!
