This brings up a good question.  I will have heat in my garage by next
winter (he says with resolve).  Does anyone out there have an opinion on
a "best" method to heat a garage.  Yeah, like no one on this list has an
opinion.

I have natural gas available as a fuel source.

It would even be possible to run a vent from my gas forced air furnace to
the garage.  Has anyone done this?
