Ok, while I know I am lucky to be in an area of the country where it doesn' t get much below 40, but due to my extreme reaction to cold, I can't work i n my shop unless it's over 65. I may have Raynaud's disease, since my finge rs go to blocks of ice at below 50. I am looking for a good, safe heater for the shop. Safe, in that when use m y saw or planner, any sawdust in the air won't catch fire. I'm looking at s ome portable radiant heaters that use 220v and I think they might work, but which one? The ultimate is to get a permanent propane heater (Red Dawg, seems to be th e best), but it will cost too much right now. Any suggestions for a good heater? Signed Frozen fingers!

Pretty good timing, got this in the email from fine homebuilding today.

Topical question - what's a good safe heater for garage shop?

In most locales, probably a garage and they'd tell you to get it the hell out of there. In Chicago (especially) and other larger jurisdictions, he'd probably going to consider it an "economic opportunity"... for him!

Agreed.

Why not, the city certainly sees improvements as economic opportunities. ;-)
