I currently have a 85k BTU forced air propane heater for my garage.
Does this look like a suitable substitute to you?

No.

My first thought was to dismiss it out-of-hand simply due to the "harbor
freight" URL. Still, I went and checked it out.

It's a heated, forced-air RUG DRYER fer pete's sake. 1350-watts won't
make a DENT in the temperature if the 85k propane heater was just
adequate to the task.

The propane can get expensive.

So what? That's the CO$T of heating the space. Either live with it or
wait until Spring to work in that space.

That cheapie carpet-dryer from HF will be a BIG disappointment. Take
the $70 you would spend to confirm my claim and BUY MORE PROPANE.
