What is the best option for me??

[jeostang]

A friend of mine is heating his garage with a MR Heater 45k unit. It warms the garage very nice, you can actually work in shorts.

My garage is the same size 25x30, but my house is all electric. I didn't want to put a electric heater up. Is it still possible for me to use the Mr Heat Propane heaters with propane tank? If so what size tank?

Thanks

Check to see what your local code says. Around here I can put up to a 120gal tank next to the building. If it was 50ft away, or buried, it could be any size I want. The 120gal tanks are ~52" high and ~30" in diameter btw. I'm looking at a 75K btu for my 1000sqft garage. It just hasn't been cold enough to make me pull the trigger, yet.

I have the Mr heater 45k radiant tube model - LP. My local LP company dropped off two, 200 gallon tanks for a $75 install fee. Filling them both initially hurt, but after that it's only cost me 15-30 per month...... The heater works great for my lift bay area, but it struggles to keep the rest of the room warm. I don't think I'm giving it a fighting chance, 40x36x12 - no insulation.

I'm not sure which Mr. Heater model you're looking at, but for a closed garage it should be one of their vented heaters so you don't have problems with carbon monoxide.
