- Hi all, I'm looking for some input on the effectiveness of those little infrared heaters that sit on top of a propane tank. My intended use is in one of those portable tarp garages to keep me warm an

- I'm also in Colorado ... I just got one of those propane heaters but have not gotten around to using it yet, though when I have in the past they've worked pretty well. Just FYI, they are not infared!

- Inside a tarp garage? I don't think it'll put out enough heat. My recommendation would be a salamander-type kerosene heater. You know, the little jet-engine looking deals. They can put out some seri

- I agree that the radiant heater probably would have a hard time heating the car, especially in that "garage". It works by direct radiation. So the other side of the car would not get heat at all. Of

- There is no such risk with a decent through-the-wall heater like mine. I like having the combustion intake, flame, and exhaust all schematically OUTside the shop. Phil Ethier /// unsubscribe/change

- I like that idea as well. So let's say I have one of those propane heaters and would like to keep it outside the garage (have the perfect place for it), how would I get the heat back into the garage

- What I have, and what I think Phil has, is a direct vent propane heater. They make them for natural gas too, if you have that. The heater resides completely inside the shop. Only a round vent extend
