John,

How big is the garage? Can I assume you heat your home with Natural Gas or LP?

I'm looking at installing a Hot Dawg from Modine. Mounts on the ceiling, direct vents, has a fan, and works great. My bro had one at his last house. A bit more exspensive than the kerosene heaters, but no fumes, kerosene smell or mess, and is much more efficient. A 2-car garage can get by with a 45,000 BTU, and that model should run around $400. Installation is easier with the Yellow gas line, as it is flexible. Much cheaper and easier to install. If you can swing it, that is what you should do.

The biggest problem with the torpedo's is fumes, and moisture. With Kerosene, you always have that fuel mess, and smell. You can get torpedo's that run on LP, but need a larger tank, as the 40 lber's don't have the capacity to run them right.

Hope this helps. Merry X-mas!
