I'm not talking about a permanent solution as the garage is old and I work on my car in my dad's garage. I need something that I can throw in there and heat it up so that my hands don't get frostbite after touching bare metal. What kind of heaters are you all using?

Links, prices, and pics are always helpful.

I use this http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/pro...541217&ccitem= in a 20x30 / 10' ceiling shop. It is well insulated with 6" bats in the walls and 10" bats in the ceiling. It will cycle on and off with 30* outside temps keeping the shop very comfortable to work in. I like the electric heat because you don't have to worry about venting or fumes. You will need a 30A 220 circuit for it. The 110v heaters are pretty worthless as you are limited to only 1500W.

Jet type heaters work wonders. You can use Kerosene, Diesel, or other forms of similar fuel. Kerosene burns the cleanest, and doesnt knock you out from the smell.

I, too, use Kerosene "salamander". In my fully insulated garage it heats it up in 15 minutes, shuts off for 30-40, then cycles again.

My garage is ~22'x22', the walls are insulated to R13 and roof is not insulated. The garage doors are insulated. I use 2 of those heaters. It takes about an hour to warm up from -30 with both heaters blasting. Once warmed up only 1 heater cycles at a time at about 30% duty cycle, even with it -30 outside.

I bought the Modine, Hot Dawg unit last year for my 25x25 garage and that baby works great. Only pain was that I had to run a natural gas line, but they do sell it for Propane as well. I highly recommend the Modine, Hot Dawg
