Looking for suggestions on heating a 20X20 garage for the odd day I want to work in the garage throughout the winter months. Looking for something that is safe and will heat up the room fairly quickly and I can control the temperature.
Did you get the optional thermostat with it?ND4SPD said:I have this guy. Works really well.

Hopefully it will start warming up in the next few weeks, but you never know!:idunno:schnogg said:Winter months? How many months of winter do you have left up there?
No, I just unplug it when it's warm enoughsoon2b954 said:Did you get the optional thermostat with it?
lus1: I got a single IR burner that goes on a 20lb cylinder. You probably need a bit more thoughRed Rider said:Kerosene heaters smell too strong for me. I prefer propane. :twocents:
Yes, but you need electricity to ignite it and for the fan to blow the hot air.ConqSoft said:Unplug it? :huh: It says it's a kerosene heater.
We use these in construction. They are popular with painters. They work great to heat up a house under construction.ND4SPD said:I have this guy. Works really well.

The bottom one, it actually moves air with a fan. The top one is just radiant, like heat off of a stove. You would have to move the air to warm the area.HondaGalToo said:I'd prefer propane, too. I was in my garage when the contractor had a kerosene one running...phew!
Which of these two would be better?

Great, thanks!CBRBob said:The bottom one, it actually moves air with a fan. The top one is just radiant, like heat off of a stove. You would have to move the air to warm the area.
lus1: Depending on the size of your garage, this one will do the job nicely.CBRBob said:The bottom one, it actually moves air with a fan. The top one is just radiant, like heat off of a stove. You would have to move the air to warm the area.
Yeah, seems like that size should do the job. It's a 25x25 addition attached to the existing garage, and it's insulated.Red Rider said:lus1: Depending on the size of your garage, this one will do the job nicely.
