Good point sourdough, I figured one would be enough because the space is so small but I guess an extra wouldn't hurt any...and yes, always the best I can get when it comes to smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. I'm gonna give the whole vent/exhaust fan another thought and try to figure something...

Well I calculated how many btu I would need for my size garage up here in N.Y. and I came up with about 32,000 so yeah a double or triple. And thanks for that info, I'll keep that in mind. I seriously doubt I'll be in there that long....I have 2 little ones that can't help but to ask and want...

If I don't go for the one with all the bells and whistles then I'm probably going for the double burner (about $85 at HD) and maybe a carbon monoxide alarm close by to be safe.

Oh and CNGsaves.....love that plan "B". Got my own brunette but she's usually inside with the kids when I'm out in the garage :sad:

Just about every inch, hole and crack has been filled in with spray foam and I sealed the door a few weeks ago as best as I could. This is what I was thinking about when it came to the propane tank mounted ones...

What about ventilation? Is it needed? Once I close the door I have non and the window is really just one of those old school ones that don't open or close, just glass. Exactly! When I'm in there and the weather is bad, it's not much different that sitting in a fridge..

Looking for any ideas on heating up my detached garage for the winter. I'm renting a garage next to a private home that I also rent here in New York. It measures 16x18 by about 7 feet tall. It's a concrete built (cinder block) with an aluminum door. I have no real electricity going to it...

Re: Garage Refurb I've been reading this thread for about a week or so now on my phone and have found it pretty difficult to put down at times. So many cool projects (aside from the garage itself) and so much attention to detail.... My wife thinks I have a "problem" because I can't do things...
