May be over kill but I use a Fire Demon to warm an open patio.

People tend to keep their distance as it pumps out 47kw.  It keeps us
toastie warm on the coldest of nights.

They are often seem in big machinery sheds on farms and do a great job.

Burns diesel, kero, sump oil, cooking oil.  16 hours on a tank.

Starts a bit smoky then burns clear. Probably spews out really really bad
chemicals when burning sump oil.

 For your garage you would need to open the garage door completely and
place the fire demon just outside
