Re: Use caution heating your garage !

Just remember that they still need oxygen to burn, so in an enclosed space you're also removing oxygen. When you take that away there is less to dilute the other chemicals in the air, so you're getting the other fumes in greater concentration. I used a forced air propane heater for awhile, and kept the garage door cracked. Eventually I got tired of using propane, or having cool air and warm air mixing, so I coughed up the money and did a standalone heat-pump style unit in the garage.

Now I can keep it at a nice 65* year round, unless it gets particularly hot (95*+) and then the coolest I can get it is about 72, which is still comfy.
