I'm not 100% comfy with a 'vent free' combustion option as I have no windows in the garage for ventilation. If I need to let air in i'm opening the garage doors, not much fine adjustment there.
I've only got a 20A 110v service in there, so big electrics are out, and with no insulation on 3 out of 4 walls or the ceiling 1500w isn't going to cut it.
That led me to some nice direct vent propane setups, right up until I saw the costs. Why the hell are they twice as much or more than the 'vent free' junk?!
