Same here, propane; 1 Coleman 100,000 btu (runs off 100 lb tank), one
of them buddy heaters and an old Kerosun. I keep the Coleman here and
use the other two at the cabin.
The Coleman works great in the garage, which is attached - fire that
baby up and you've got HEAT. Crack the garage door, run it up to 100
degrees or so and leave the door to the house open. No the detectors
didn't go off when I tested it out.
