Hi guys,

Since winter is quickly approaching and my pins are in my garage, I'd like to keep the garage warm enough so that my pins are not negatively affected by the cold. The garage is attached and somewhat insulated so that helps.

I was wondering if I could get a ceramic heater or something similar to keep in there. I'd like something with a thermostat that I can just leave on so the garage never drops below a certain temp, like 60, or so. I have never had a portable heater so I'm not sure if you can keep them on all of the time. I know the thermostat should keep it from running constantly, but can I leave the unit unattended for hours/days at a time?

Any particular models you can suggest? I don't know the square footage offhand but it's a single garage, not that big.

This is one I looked at today: http://answers.walmart.com/answers/1336/product/17038557/questions.htm

Thanks for any help.

The link is a Lasko 5848. The link works on my phone, but I haven't tried my laptop, maybe it's a mobile thing?

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.

While the bigger ceiling units suggested would be nice and I do have natural gas, I cannot afford to buy and install one of these this year. I would if I could.

Since I'm looking at a portable unit this year, are they safe enough to leave on with a thermostat all day, all winter? As I said, the garage is attached and a single car so not that big. And thankfully, insulated.
