I'm heating with propane. 24 x 30 garage and an 80,000 btu furnace in
Pitsburgh. We can get into sub-zero temps in Jan & Feb. It gives me
plenty of heat and pleasant working temperature. The gas supplier
provides the 150 gal tank as long as I fill up once a year. Using it
strictly on weekedns, it lasts almost the whole heating season. If the
cost is $150-$175 to fill, and that's a hobby related cost, I fill it
when I have the cash and if I need to wait a while to work before I fill
it, then so be it. It's not like the family will freeze. I had 1000,000
btu Kerosene and it worked well, used about 3/4 gal per hour, but it
always smelled like a bus drove through the garage. Propane may csot a
little more, but it's been money well spent.
