Reddy heaters and the like are the hot ticket (no pun intended) primarily because of the fan forced projection... The Mr. Heater Big Buddy works well, but won't project heat over a large distance. The main thing to remember when heating a garage, or any space which might have flammable vapor such as gasoline or others, BE CERTAIN TO PLACE THE HEATER AT LEAST 2' off the floor... These vapors tend to extend upwards of 2-024" off the floor surface, and I don't have to tell you guys what will happen when a source of ignition is introduced to that scenario.
