Re: Heated Garage or not?
My 2 stall is insulated and I have a 30 btu
torpedo heater that runs on propane . I use that to get the garage to 70 . I shut it off and run my kerosene heater to keep the temp. As for the CO . I open my back door from time to time while working out there and have had no problems . And yes if you live in the salt belt your Jeep will rust faster. 47 Willy's 50 Willy's Truck 87 YJ 97 TJ Later Mike |

Re: Heated Garage or not?
Sounds like they were wired incorrectly.
It gets to -30 here and with my insulated garage I can work out there in a t-shirt.
