I've tried electric space heaters but the 20A circuit isn't enough. I've got a small propane heater but it doesn't heat the place and the fumes don't dissipate. There is a wood burner out there and it kicks a lot of heat but that takes a long time to warm the garage, and the contents.

What I really need is a natural gas "warehouse" heater. I could fire it up Friday evening and the cars and tools would be warm for the weekend.

If you haven't worked in super cold conditions, it's the temperature of the tools and parts that is hard to deal with. The air temp itself isn't a problem. Then there's issues with sealants and if torques are right.
