I have in my garage just what the Dr. ordered.

40,000 BTU Gasmac infra red heater. There is no explosion concern =
because the whole thing is a closed circuit gas plasma heater mounted =
about 9 feet above the floor. It warms up whatever is beneath it and =
can get my double car garage from the mid teens to a toasty 70 degrees =
in 10 minutes.=20

I do not know about Wis. but up here any heaters must be at least 18 =
inches off the floor to avoid fume ignition.

Any type of forced air will certainly move your dust all over the place.

If the garage is attached, you will possibly need a fire retarding door =
to the house.

Best bet for hydro is to drop a sub panel in the garage which will =
permit adding circuits as needed. Additionally, this will allow for an =
easy way to add an emergency generator for when the hydro goes out. I =
found this to be just the ticket for me.
