I just got back from Lowe's to pick up two 5 gallon kerosene cans. I've used both propane and kerosene and the kerosene is less hassle to use. Plug it in and it goes. 60k btu Reddy Heater, $175 Home Depot. With propane, I'd drag a 100 lb bottle around and fiddle with thermocouplers. Of course, I never used a nice new one either. Each time I have visions of my garage going sky high when all the propane goes at once. Of course I haven't figured out where to get kerosene yet either. As for painting? No way, not till spring, need a permanently heated shop for that.
