Garage Heaters....what to get?

[OVERKILL 19]

Very true. I have been in new housing where guys are using the kerosene heaters and within 10 minutes felt sick. Over time the kerosene will also leave an oily film on everything.

Do the Keroseane heaters work good enough to keep the concrete and drywall mud from freezing. I was going to use one to keep things warm when no one is in there!

Not true, It is more like 30" of clearence. I have installed hundreds and never seen a 6ft clearence. Go to calcana and and you can look at the clearences. It is like inches above, side and just over 2 ft below on a 30* angle. Good luck

I think I am just going to buy a 4800watt construction heater from ctire or the home-depot. I re-measured my garage and its only 18.5' wide by 21' long (weird size??)

So thats only about 388 sq feet, those 4800 watt heaters are good to 500sq ft, based on what Ive read.

My garage also sits between +3-5* during winter without heat. If I remeber right my power bill was high a few times last year with a regular 110v 1500 watt heater when I used it lots, so purhaps a 4800watt wont draw as much juice pluged into 220 and produce more heat......we will see I guess.....

any thoughts on that??
