Heating a garage

[winfred]

i like a kerosene bullet heater, it gives a ton of heat off quickly and you can direct it wherever you want it, if you gotta work under the car stick it at one end and the whole underside of the car will be warmed. ours at the shop finally died after about 20 years and we need to get another, home depot has a $280 good one and a $400 bad ass, the smaller one would be a little overkill on a one car garage but should do nicely on a 2 or bigger

I have a nagging todo list that I'd like to get to but with the cold weather I don't see myself getting to it anytime soon.. What can you guys recommend for heating a garage? I've been checking out sears.com.

I've seen the kerosene heaters but I don't know if the garage is sufficiently ventilated. How important is ventilation with a kerosene heater, is an open window enough? I was leaning towards a cheaper electrical alternative but it doesn't sound like it'll be as effective.

the roof is varly open in our shop so constant operation is ok and due to the openess nessary, it should heat up a small room quickly (small one is like 115k btu) then you shut it off
