Kerosene? Propane? Wood stove? Cost? Efficiency? BTUs for about 9000 cu

Michael,
Last year while constructing my 14'x24' detached garage, I used my Corona
kerosene heater (something like 20,000+ BTUs if I recall correctly) inside to
take the chill off while cutting vinyl siding, alum trim, etc. My garage is
also uninsulated. I was able to stay downright toasty (definition - I could
work very easily with only a thermal sweatshirt and no gloves) on days when
it was in the 30's outside....kerosene is cheap, the heater puts out heat
very quickly and the newer heaters don't smell at all!
Good luck,
Chip Krout
