But since he has a car in there, it would be a violation of fire codes to
have a solid fueled heater in an attached garage. It is a danger in an
unattached garage, but I'm not sure of the code. Those embers stay hot
enough to ignite gas for many hours after you stop feeding it and it sucks
combustion air from the garage.


My house was built to code (back in the 70's) and has an attached
garage with a NG water heater, with pilot, in one corner. The only
warning was not to store gas containers in the garage, but cars were
ok.
