hey guys.. looking for the most cost effective way to heat my garage. its currently fully insulated, w/ new insulated doors.. measures 16 x 48. Planning to tinker out there this winter. The house is gas forced air, so, no boiler to run a zone off of. The natural gas coming into the house is pretty accessible, or, should i go w/ some sort of propane heater. any recommendations/examples greatly appreciated....
OT HELP: Best way to heat my garage?

I have a waste oil burner and 2 natural gas heaters but my building is 206X36 and front has 14 ft ceiling with upstairs. The waste oil heater does most of the heating in the shop area up front and 1 of the gas in rear of building. I personal would never consider any type of none vented heat for any reason as I have been put to the ground twice by CO and it sucks big time. I also A/C the entire building as it is very humid here.

You can use a sealed combustion unit in a area with paint fumes. it will cost a little more . Home depot has some of these units

Hmmm.. i never noticed any warnings before on the force ait torpedo type heaters... I wonder if that applies to propane ones??? Propane is used indoors and not vented all the time..

Similar product, also a Dayton....read the description!
http://www.heater-home.com/product/E55.aspx
Description:
Heat things up in a big way with the Dayton E55 portable propane heater. This powerful heater rapidly warms areas up to 900 square feet and is perfect for outdoor spaces such as farms and construction sites, as well as well-ventilated industrial areas including warehouses and factories. Manual ignition, six-foot cord, ten-foot hose, and regulator assembly included. The E55 features a fuel shutoff device and automatic overheat shutoff for added safety. Choose this heater for instant cost-effective comfort in your workspace.
I won't say the one you mentioned isn't safe...but like I said before, I wouldn't use it in a sealed building unless it was very large or doors were open
