View Full Version : Garage heat
I want to heat the garage this winter during the few projects, but am not sure which one to go with..
ignore the btu... what i am more currious is
PROPANE BLUE FLAME HEATER
PROPANE INFRARED RADIANT HEATER
i am clueless on the difference between the two..
I have a propane heater now, but when i use it moisture gets created on everything...

The only heater experience I have was with LB White heaters. I have never heard anything bad about LB White heaters and would recommend them to anyone. They are very common in farm shops and in animal housing so I'm sure one of them would nicely heat your garage Enes.

Shut the garage door and turn on your car. No need to spend lots of money on a garage heater.

The blue flame heater seems to be where the flame itself heats the air, where as the other heater radiates heat from an element that gets heated directly. That's my take on it... I'd take the infrared radiant heater over the other.

Funny thing is, thats what ive been doing the last few days. Since im working in my engine bay, after i shut it off, it keeps me nice n warm :) We have a torpedo lookin thing that runs off propane, i wouldnt recommend that to anyone. Anyone that wants real heat shoud invest in a climate controlled system!! spend lots of money $$$

Get one of those jet engine looking ones, i believe they are kerosene ones. very nice for heating.

I can't belive I'm going to agree with Tom. But they heat up way faster then any propane ones I've used.
and they are very bad for you too.. they release kerosine smoke which burns the eyes really really bad...
