I tried one of those 60,000 BTU tube style propane heaters. It worked OK, but you have to keep a garage door open some to avoid carbon monoxide buildup. When I needed the heat the most, I kept getting big bursts of ice cold wind and blowing snow in the garage. It was tempting to just close up the garage and risk the carbon monoxide, but then I read up on what it actually does to your body and brain and realized that was stupid. And the propane costs were higher than I expected.
In the end, i found that leaving the door open between the garage and the house worked better. That way I use the house furnace to heat the garage while keeping the garage door closed. The natural gas costs were cheaper than all the propane I was blowing through.
