Run a hose outside from the exhaust.Insulate it. Then park an old Jeep at running temp in it. It warms mine up fast.
lol, had to edit that.
Hadn't seen these, will investigate. Thanks for the post.Is your hot water heater in your garage? If so you can hang the below in your garage, pipe it up with a small water pump and you are good to go! Just run the return line back to the water line going into the water heater.

I would have liked to have done this in our garage but we have a tankless water heater.Is your hot water heater in your garage?

Sleep better if you don’t
Just parking it, and turning it off, warms up my garage.
Another version below.
If your garage door isn’t already insulated, I would start with insulating it. I bought 1” blue foam board and cut it to where i had to bow it to pop it into the panels on the door. Lots of heat was being lost through that door. Then I would recommend a small propane heater such as a Mr buddy heater to warm it up while you are out there. I currently have a 7kw electric resistance heater in my shop. I was around $150 to buy, and was easy to install. I would not recommend it for a shop that is not well insulated, it can be expensive to run. I am actually going to upgrade to a mini split heat pump.

These mini-splits....intriguing.
I've been kinda looking into some sort of HVAC to keep the reloading room somewhat normalized and that may be the ticket? It's about 150sqft so by the numbers a smaller 9000btu unit should do the trick. I'm not looking to keep it house comfortable but mostly level out temp swings and prevent rust.

Hmmmm. My wife siad the same thing. Pretty sure she just wanted me out of her hair LOLI'm just tagging in. This is one of the things I want to do for Grumpy. That way he can reload and tinker around in the garage all year.
