: Yes, I heat the double garage (workshop) all day for about $2.50 - and only
: on the days I use it. I could not be happier with the nice quiet heater.

No kiddin'? I'm just now setting up shop. I'm gonna start with a simple S&G (Sweet Dream) canoe, per (fellow Chicago 'burbs local) PGJ's advice. I'm clearing space in the garage, I have lumber for two workbenches and some shelves (for all the crap displaced by the removal of an old desk which we'd been using to keep gasoline, etc. out of reach of the younger kids), and I have enough money in pocket to buy a couple sheets of 4mm okoume and start to work. My father-in-law gave me an old, 1500 W electric heater. I don't know how much good that would do in my uninsulated two-car garage, and I cringe to consider the cost. I don't mind working in the cold, but when it's time to epoxy...
maybe I'll have the $70 for insulation come then (at this point I'd rather just have okoume), and I can look at a kerosene heater. What are the setup costs for that? Will it warm an insulated garage to 60+ degrees for epoxy work when it's 20 degrees outside? Presumably there must be some exhaust ducting?
