80,000 btu natural gas. My last one was a Hot Dawg it was better. They are about $600 for a 75000 btu. When it's 32 out it Heats 1300 sq/ft to 75 in about 10 min. Best $$ you'll ever spend if you like to work on your truck in the winter.

okay now its freaky cold here in Indiana and I still have some painting to do. what do you guys do to keep painting here in the midwest other then having a nice heated shop. Im in a 2 car garage Thanks in advance for any advice

Halogen high intensity work lights at harbour freight, put out a lot of heat.

If your painting, keep in mind its not just the air temp; its the thermal mass of what your painting. If you have just started warming the garage, a heater might make the room feel a nice 72 degrees but your project may still be much colder. Use a heater that puts out good infrared radiant heat.

great ideas on getting some heat in the garage, I do have a heat lamp that use on the surface of the area Im painting. I did find a heater at manards that is a 220v that I can hang on the wall that heats up to 400 sq ft My worries are if I paint a little should I be worried about fire or blowing up my house?

The paint fumes would have to reach a certain concentration to blow up. I would assume you would be venting the area while painting. Tough call on that one.

I have a very small 220v heater that rattles and makes noise but will warm up a small area if I need to do something outside during winter.
