[QUOTE="TheVikingRL, post: 15481975, member: 129239"] Electric is a waste of money unless you install a powerful unit, which would likely need to run off of a dedicated circuit. I use this one currently: [SIZE=6][B]Fahrenheat FUH724 240-volt Garage Heater, 3750-7500-watt[/B][/SIZE] Still, it's not cheap to run at full bore in a poorly insulated garage. Probably the easiest (and cheapest) option is to run a propane powered shop heater. The home improvement stores all sell them, usually for under $100. Downside is you can go through 20lb tanks pretty fast when it's really cold out so plan on a bigger tank. You should also have some ventilation when running it even though propane is supposed to burn clean. I used to run the tank outside with a hose under the door. Even then, I'm not sure insurance would cover a claim with this setup if a fire ever occurred. Avoid kerosene heaters IMO as the fumes can make you really nauseous. Plus it can be difficult to find locally compared to propane. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
