Subject: Re: [OT] Best garage heating option 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 toast= ie 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 c= hemicals when burning sump oil. http://henstock.com.au/demon%C2%AE-heaters http://www.littlefarmco.com.au/products/the-%E2%80%98demon%E2%80%99-heater/ For your garage you would need to open the garage door completely and plac= e the fire demon just outside On 27 November 2017 at 16:37, V G wrote: > Hi all, I'd like to install some heating mechanism in my=20 > decently-insulated garage for working on my motorcycle and some other=20 > projects over the winter. > > Initially, I considered getting a portable propane heater but I don't=20 > want to mess around with propane tanks, exchanging them, the danger of=20 > setting something on fire, and the fact that they vent directly into the = room. > However, this would be the cheapest option and definitely workable if=20 > I lift the garage door up a bit to let some fresh air in and mount a=20 > CO detector nearby. > > The options I'm now considering are: > > - Natural gas heater - This will require running a natural gas line=20 > into the garage which a professional will likely need to take care of,=20 > then installing an expensive natural gas heater as well as setting up the= vent. > - Electric heater - To be practical, this will require running a=20 > two-phase 240V power line into the garage and hooking up some powerful=20 > 240V electric heaters.
