    Default How do you heat your garage/workshop in the winter?

    Just wondering how you guys keep warm in the cold winter months when wrenching on your toys.

    I use a kerosene heater. It is very economical compared to propane, at least when you are using the 20lb grill tanks.

    The coldest it has been here is 64 degrees at night.
    I actually had a hard time swapping a no mor flats tire and tube cause it was so cold .
    I usually change them in a 120 degree frenzy.

    I have a good electric heater and a bunch of quartz spot lights. Sounds crazy, but with mats to stand on it's bearable as long as it's not below 25°F or so (OUTSIDE!) (a bit rare) and plenty of vital light.

    Up here in Canada who needs a dang beer fridge...stick it in the snow bank long enuf (15-30 min) so when you open it it freezes solid...that's a cold beer. As far as a workable shop temp..anything above freezing works.
