Thanks, but I already have two of them (bought them a year apart), don't really need another.
No idea where you are, but shipping could be expensive.

LOL ..That came out wrong ... I was offering to exzachtly1..
Yep I bought a two burner one and used it the other day..works great. I just leave the garage door open a bit so the wife doesn't freak out.
I paid $50 on sale 1/2 price at good ole Canadian Tire.

That's OK, we still don't know where you are and how bad the shipping would be. :-\\\LOL ..That came out wrong ... I was offering to exzachtly1..
How about updating your profile with a location? Does not have to be exact, after all, look how general my location is.

Thanks for the offer! I think Steve is right that the shipping may be a lot, depending on where you are. Shoot me a PM or something. But right now I am probably leaning toward either the round tank-top ones or perhaps one of the "indoor use" kerosene or propane convection heaters. They are vertical cylindrical shaped, look nice and have good reviews for indoor use. About a hundred bucks; doesn't seem too shabby!

I heat up with this exact set-up.
Set up is very cheap, and fuel is free.
Very easily heats a 35'W x 40'L detached 2 car garage and keeps it toasty warm for hours with minimal effort.

Electric heaters are no match for -40

If you can find a smaller version of this, the wood heat will suck the moisture right off the tools as opposed to electric.
I'm regrettably using electric this winter. We'll see how that goes.

Funny you should mention smaller!
The kit for this comes with everything but the barrel, so you can use what ever sized drum you want.
I used a big 45 gallon drum but then my garage doors offer zero insulation and minimal wind protection.
I can keep it hot as a summer day in there.

You can use some old blankets and hang them from the gargae ceiling and curtain off a section to trap the heat and youll have less of a space to overcome in the cold. Heat the space up quicker and save some fuel costs as well.
Tank...check in with any local cabinet makers or contractors and ask them if you can gather thier scrap ends and such..good sources of free fuel for that stove.

I've got a couple years worth of dry and standing dead timber on the property, after that runs out I can get all I can haul worth of shipping pallets from the local agri/heavy truck/ford dealer.
They have a pile that would take years to burn through, and they add to it every day.
This thread here reminded me that I had taken some pictures that I forgot to post of my heat source.
So here they are.
It provides a nice temperature rise over the -15C it was outside.
The garage is insulated, but not airtight in any way, not by a long shot.

I have one of these http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200178574_200178574 in my 26x30 uninsulated garage. I have it on a tool cart to get it off the floor so it is safer with gas fumes. On a cold day it wont heat the whole garage to T shirt worm, but it is very portable so I can move it to where I am and it heat that part of the garage.
