Heat!

[Eruptiv]

I have a Hot Dawg Modine heater mounted on the ceiling.It's vented and works awesome! It's 60'000 btu heater and heats my 2 and a half car garage up very efficiently. All walls including ceiling and garage door are insulated. When it's 2 degrees outside here in WI I'm in a t-shirt and shorts detailing my car and making my neighbors jealous. I put the Modine heater in back in June. It seemed pointless to heat my garage at the time because it was 80 degrees out, but now it is worth every drip of sweat I put into installing it.

I have a wood burning stove in my basement that heats 1/2 our house and is attached to the garage, so i close the door going upstairs and open the door to the garage, and it is 60-70 degrees in the garage within a matter of an hr or so

I gave up on trying to heat my garage but I know that the electric heaters like morris9982 has work great!

Same thing here in Bismarck. Hell, I was outside ONR'ing my car when we had a heatwave of 38f!

I had an electrical contractor install mine because I did not want to run the power myself.

I found this one on Grainger's web site. I believe it is similar to the one I have.

So how is everyones heating solutions doing. Hope your staying warm.

My 2 ceramic and 18k BTU LP are working well enough that i now shut them off most nights. Besides the bottom foot of the garage staying cool, it takes about 20 min to get it to working temp on most days. Then cycle them off and on.

Wal-Mart had some Homles water-filled sealed radiators on sale for $30 so I picked one up to use in my house for room heating.

At the highest setting it uses about 1500 watts but it will really warm an area up and it provides comfortable heat because it doesnt use fans.

I made a wood burner out of a 55 gallon drum. Cut a square in the top for the door and 5" hole for the flu. The exhaust exits the length of the garage, this makes it more efficient and heats up in about 1/2 hour. Just have to crack a window when it gets too hot. I bought the mounts for it to set the drum on off Northerntool.com

I keep a dedicated pile of wood inside and use old pallets the local factories don't want anymore.
