Weird stuff going on here... I needed to look up this thread and had to find it via google. Advanced search, likes, searching "my posts" all failed to find it.

I don't work out there an awful lot , and when I do, that 30,000 BTU tank-top heater does a decent job. It sure would be nice, though, to keep things above freezing automatically, and warm the garage properly.
Shouldn't be that bad if you do it yourself, you want to use the yellow poly outside, only has to be 17 or 18" deep unless it's a driveway or high traffic area. Doesn't sound like it. Gas is easy plumb.

Here's one here , I didn't watch the entire vid. This guy wasn't familiar, good thing he pulled a permit and was there w/inspector who helped him get it right in the end.


This one used both propane or NG , has both orifice set ups. My first was NG only. Don't want propane in the garage if you can help it. Too much moisture to deal with.

Black pipe on the wall like he did inside the house but 1" was excessive. Poly outside/Black inside.

I recessed mine into the wall, the garage/house was 2X6 construction, came out nice. But you can recess into a 2x4. No blower needed for. You can hear the TV or radio while screwing around out there.

It's automatic and cheap if you can run the gas yourself. An option that maybe you haven't thought of anyway.

Marty will always be my favorite guitarist that was in Megadeth... but Kiko is damn good too.

My favorite Megadeth lineup was Dave, Marty, Ellefson, and Menza. Such a good combo!

AND, my favorite Megadeth album and song:

Hey fellers... my little dude, Elvis, is wearing the cone of shame right now. Are there any alternatives to this thing? It's been a couple days, and he's still running into all kinds of $4!T...

Don't think so.. Might want to equip the little guy w/cow bell so you don't get clipped from behind.

No kidding! He follows me everywhere, so my calves have taken a beating, LOL. Wherever Dad is, that's where he wants to be.

Consequently, whatever Dad is eating.... yeah, he wants some too.
