Portable Garage Heater Suggestions?

[alexjn1]

I am looking for suggestions about a good quality portable heater that I can use in my garage this winter.



I am simply looking for something that can warm my garage a bit from time to time when I clean (ONR) my truck.



I would like something electric that is portable and uses a standard plug type outlet.



I have also seen some of the emergency use LP heaters that are indoor approved so if anyone has any experience or information in regards to those type heaters I would appreciate your thoughts as well.



My garage is 2 ½ stalls and is insulated.



Thanks for the help.

I have one of these, works great for my 2 car. Gets it to about 65 in 20-30 minutes and its not insulated.

is it loud? i have kerosene heater and it was loud as hell and i had to leave the garage door open some because it smelled bad.

I purchased a Mr Heater Contractor Model 35,000 BTU/HR



It worked out perfectly. It is small yet only took a few minutes to boost the garage temp up to 60 degrees.



Thanks again for all the help with information
