Just installed a fan-forced wall mount heater in the garage I'm building for myself... it's coming along nicely.

This is actually not a real 'garage' persay, but a room in the basement of my folks' office building that I am turning into my own garage. I'll take some pics, then post them when I get home tonight. I planned to make a before/after thread once it really started looking nice.

Gutted the whole joint, busted down a wall, lots of other details. I'll discuss later

Yeah I use a kerosine heater in my garage but need to leave the door open for fume reasons. I would love a mounted one I could use with the door shut.

You cant beat a modine heater. Those kerosine heaters always give me headaches even with good ventilation.

working on the bike out there or just hanging out to be cold?

**Wishbone** · 11-10-07, 07:08 PM

How big is your garage?

What is cheap to you?

this is a normal job site type heater, its a salamander heater and runs off propain. Its good because you know exactly what it cost to run it.

You can get a few pieces of base board elec. heat for cheap but the price to run them could get expensive.

What you need to specify is how much your looking to spend, is it your house, how long do you want it heated per day.

detached garage - just working on the bikes with small stuff but im out there about an hour or two at a time - sometimes longer

its a detached garage, 24' x 16' maybe - do i need to ventilate with that propane tube looking thingie?

Well there is never any proper ventilation on a job site plus propane fork trucks can be used inside all the time, BUT that don't mean that its ok.

But I have been in construction with that type of heat for nearly a decade and I'm fine

Plus my mom says I'm special

**Kham** · 11-10-07, 07:35 PM

good enough for me.

**Kham** · 11-10-07, 07:42 PM

found this. i guess you do need ventilation with propane heaters.

See if you can find a old mobile home furnace they run real cheap and make good heat. You'll have to lift it off the floor , for the heat comes out the bottom' install a small chimney pipe and a fuel tank good to go . cost about 3-5 hundred to get going, about 1500 if you go with a new furnace and a with a cottage base

**Kham** · 11-10-07, 07:53 PM

there's an idea.

find something that will burn used oil.

thanks for the input - i think this is a lot more than I was looking to do/spend

**wylee** · 11-10-07, 08:13 PM

I got one of these last winter, as did a few others on here.

DESA Reddy Heater -

I'm very happy I spent a little more than I was going to. This heater makes my 16 x 20 garage toasty in about 15 minutes when it's 10 below zero.

I think they are called RedEyes ... get one with two elements in it.

You have the choice of fast heat or just maintaining heat.

**Ryno** · 11-10-07, 08:53 PM

Northern has some garage heaters that run of LP or Propaine.
We put one in a job trailer at work and works slick. Nice and quiet, plenty of heat, built in 02 sensor etc.
28k BTU with the blower is around $200
