[QUOTE="smitty2919, post: 15483020, member: 113577"] I have 2 Car attached garage with drywall walls and ceiling that I assume are insulated. 8ft ceilings and non insulated garage door. Friend of mine let me borrow a Mr. Heater Big Buddy hooked up to a 20lb tank I was able to raise the temp 20* (to 68*F) in 1 hour. At which point I figured anything over 60* I'm OK with. It only goes to 18,000 BTU on High. It is decent, quiet, simple and compact. It's nice to be able to bring it with you and run of batteries and 1lb propane tanks if needed. I'm not much of a outdoor guy so I don't see me needing a compact portable unit. I'm looking into (and most likely will buy) a Home Depot Dyna Glo Delux 30,000 - 60,000 BTU torpedo propane unit. Allows you to direct some heat where you need it. Just keep in mind these style heaters throw out heat so you can't really put anything within 4 ft from the front of it. My plan is to let it heat for 30min before I go out to do any work and hopefully ride out the heat for couple hours. If I need it again, I will turn it on for 15min or so. It is small/compact and can be put in the basement. 90% of the time I back my wife's car out of the garage and work on mine. Gives me room for the heater and a work space for cutting/welding etc. I like propane since I already have a 20lb tank for the grill. I have never had good luck with electric space heaters. [/QUOTE]
