Tough decisions to make! One thing is for sure, I won't be working in there when there is the slightest possibility that CO2 or anything of that sort is present. Wouldnt' look too good having my fellow firefighters respond to my place for such a stupid thing! I was just wondering if anyone had a safe, cheap source of heating a shop that has some cracks around the doors that makes it easier to work on small things. Its not like I would be painting or doing a motor job on things (at least that wasn't the plan as of now). I have a propane furnace in my shop that I build furniture in and it is great! Mounted on the wall and vents to the outside and uses like 4 feet of wall space with its own built in blower. Just wasn't up for spending $2,000.00 to buy another one plus having to look at a big propane tank outside my garage all the time? They certainly are great for warming an area up quick and makes it easy to work in just shirt sleeves.

I too would love to put a wood stove in, but Mr. Insurance Man frowns on that so much so that they supposedly would cancel my insurance if that was a choice I made? I am not sure if they think I would be using gas to start the stove or what....but anyway - wood heat isn't a way to go for heating the garage that's for sure.
