For years I used the Mr Heater in my attached 2 car garage and it did the job, but then again West Texas is not as consistently cold as Iowa. I haven't tried it yet in the new garage, probably not going to be near as effective but it should take the chill off. So if you need a heater for a not so cold area Mr Heater works &the unit & propane are not that expensive.
