You've got absolutely the right idea. If you have a lot of air infiltration, no amount of insulation will make up for it.

: In any event, the first thing that would have to be done would be to replace
: the existing uninsulated one-piece sieve of a garage door that doesn't
: close properly, leaving a good 1" gap all around the bottom and both
: sides. I get snow-drifts INSIDE the garage when the wind blows a certain
: way. That's on our "to do" list, but our renovation budget for
: 2001 has come and gone. Until that gets done, I guess I'll just have to
: grin and bear it.

: Thanks again for all the input. I'll be looking at those LP-fired units again
: sometime.
