I know this is off topic, but I'm looking for opinions on heating my garage. We're having our first "real" winter here in several years, and my garage is on the NE side of the house, and is DAMN COLD. I've been scanning craigslist for used heaters, and I'm trying to narrow my choices. Seems like the most common options are:
- portable kerosene / electric heater
- portable propane / electric heater
- mountable electric blower heater
I like the idea of mounting it to the ceiling joists, and getting it out of the way, but I"m worried about not getting any heat down by the ground where I spend most of my time. The portable gas ones seem pretty good too, and I don't know if there are disadvantages other than the footprint they will require for storage / usage.
So gimme your ideas, opinions and pitfalls please. I've got about 650 sq ft, and I don't really need to heat all of it if there's an option that can be localized. Don't really have a budget at this point, but I'd like to keep up under 200 I guess.
Thanks - Matt
