what's this single burner / double burner you guys speak of? It's supposed to be like 20 in chicago tomorrow with high winds and I want to enjoy a few sticks while watching the bears beat up on the lions. My crappy electric heater just doesn't do it anymore.

take a pic and pm me for my addy

I'd stay away from kerosene......too much carbon monoxide......propane burns much cleaner......like a gas stove in your house.......I burn a Mr Heater single burner in my possum van........keeps toasty warm and I can surf cigarbid on my laptop.......a little reneck I know.....wife thinks I'm nuts but the house doesn't smell

I have to get something for the porch. I was looking at Mr. Heater today. Are they any good? How long will a 20 lb cylinder last?

If you are looking for a heater, I would recommend the patio heater I use. It is a 46,000btu patio heater I had purchased from Costco for $139 delivered. Lasts about 10 hours with the 20lb cylinder. Only downside is if it is windy, it obviously doesn't work nearly as well. All the heat radiates down, not up. Was initially concerned about the vinyl on the porch ceiling and ceiling fan blades melting. But has not been a problem, you can actually put your hand a few inches about the top and there is not much heat.

Well I picked up the Mr. Heater 40,000-80,000 BTU. It's an upright Galvanized metal cylinder that has holes. Its burner is awesome! Heated my garage no problem. Got about 10 hrs. on a 20lb. cylinder. I love it!

I've got a kerosene heater that works real well... trouble I have is finding a place that sells kerosene in bulk.. it's too expensive to buy a gallon a time at the hardware store...

FGM, I originally bought the one you have. It didn't give enough heat for me. I picked up this one and it gives off a ton of heat !

how's the fumes and smell? I used to use a torpedo heater but it was way too loud and it gave me the worst headaches in my small 2 car garage. I'm sure I would need to vent the garage a bit but I still need to stay warm. Supposed to be like 10 degrees in Chicago next week.

we use a kerosen heater in our club house, but we found out the hard way when we first started it, we used k-1 kerosen the smell was horrific, we now use klean burn kerosen can buy it at the home depot no smell unit you shut the heater off, but it works great 1 gallon will last all night

Any updates on a strong, safe garage heater for winter cigar enjoyment in the 12 years that have passed? Thanks for any help

Every now and then I think of getting a portable heater too. I mean, sheesh, how’s a guy supposed to smoke out in an open garage when the temps dip below 70?!?! 🥶

Well, you probably have a nice ocean breeze so 70° might feel like 65°. $hit, I'd go skinny dipping at 65° temps. (prolly would scare the neighbors way though which might be an added benefit).
