Might be best to go with bi-metallic button type heat detectors.
Nothing to clog with dust. Only disadvantage is that you need more
of them.


Are heat detectors available at places like Home Depot, or do I need to go
with a full alarm system like a commercial building?

Don't even waste your money on them Brian. They're a fear factor device and
serve no real function. Anything that's going to burn in your garage is
going to generate smoke. The smoke detectors will provide all of the
warning you'll ever need. Heat detectors have long been the biggest scam to
play on the fears of people.
