Heat is pretty much heat how ever it is generated. The quartz won't require you to haul propane about but it may be expensive to operate and use up a full electrical circuit if that matters to you. There is however no open flame which might present some increased fire or explosion risk in a garage depending on what is stored there. A circulating fan too will help. I find too that it can take quite a while to get any real comfort since the contents of the garage take a long time to absorb heat and are constantly robbing the occupant of comfort as they heat up.
I would be curious about coal oil heaters, cost of operation too. I have thought of setting up a green house, for green things that is, really a clear house not green at all. I would need some heat particularly early in the spring. Good hot lights to prolong the grow hours of course but probably not quite enough in March and much of April. Some of those coal oil heaters are pretty nice I just don't know the relative operating costs.

Propane Heater Hi all, I'm looking for a heater to heat my garage when I'm working out there. I'm currently looking at a quartz heater that claims to be able to heat 1000 square feet and a LP heater that claims 700 square feet. The gas heater is rated for indoor use. Does anyone have any opinion as to which might be a better way to go? As always, any help greatly appreciated. Take care, Ed Przybylek [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
