Infrared ceiling panels

[G23crawler]

I have a 20x24x8 detached garage, it is fully insulated with a electric heater. With the door closed it heats perfectly fine, my question is a different heating source that will allow me to heat up the inside with the door open. My first thought was gas radiant heat, but after some research it looks like I don't have the ceiling height for that. Someone told me about radiant ceiling panels and that looks to be a good option vs forced air and trying to heat the outdoors. Im not trying to have the door open when its snowing but during a football game when its mid 50's. I know alot of restaurants/bars have electric ones for their patio area, looking for some recommendations and anyone with first hand experience. Thanks!

Electric flat panel radiate heat panels are expensive.

Just a thought a gas radiate heater like this with a hose connection like gas bbq pit at the garage door set in the door way or just outside with the heat aimed towards the inside.

For me the challenge of a natural gas heater is the amount of water vapour they create. Plus the Co2.

Something like this makes sense to me.

I just saw this, looking for something else.

I have two 2'x8' electric radiant heating panels in my shop, I think the brand is Enerjoy. They work well, sort of like being out in the sun on a cold day. The shop is about 10'x20', three uninsulated walls, about 3" of fiberglass in the ceiling. They're expensive to run - it costs me about $3/day. If it's not too cold, I can turn them off when I'm not in there. If it gets down below 30F, I need to keep them on all the time, or it takes too long to heat up the shop. I generally turn them down to the minimum at night. I think they're 1kW each and I run them from a 15 amp 220v circuit.
