    I use a Honeywell space heater works great. I set it for 60 for the product and my garage is insulated.

    Couple 500 watt Halogens lamps are sure to heat you up a bit while illuminating the car

    Whatever shook! you better tarp off the pole barn before you crank that puppy up!

    Im looking into heating as well, probably will go electric sense its quieter and doesnt require fuel or put off fumes.

    I am using a different brand but the same exact thing BTU's and everything. Holds somewhere from about 2-3 gallons maybe? I've had it run for like 7+ hours before it ran out before. It doesn't smell like anything until it runs out of fuel. It pushes out a nice puff of smoke at that point which smells. It might smell a little bit but nothing crazy. They have thermostats on them so if you put it at like 65 it will turn itself off. In a relatively small area it will heat quickly. Dont completely trap yourself off with it on for super long periods of time because since it is burning there are small amounts of carbon monoxide.

    Hahaha, what's up man.

    I had the puppy cranked for 5+ hours when I was doing my correction without any tarps or anything up and it did a good enough job in a 60' x 40' area.

    Electric is great as long as it's insulated or a small area since it won't be pushing out as much heat.
