This is what I used for camping on free electric. Without regard to operating cost, it's the best electric heater. It will put out just enough, or crazy heat if you crank it up. Has a hi low setting, thermostat, and tip shutoff. I only use it if I'm fixing something major on a bike in the winter. It heats the whole garage. I bought a salamander and gave it to my brother in law. The fumes give me a headache.
Sunbeam ceramic heater
This is kind of a high end solution, but when I worked at a car dealership (25 years ago) we installed infrared NG heaters like these:

Has anyone had any experience with these things?

I have this in my detached garage/workshop:

Works pretty well, and no kerosene stink or moisture. Required 220V, but that was not an issue for me (I also have a 220V welding circuit). The thermostat works fine, to keep the shop above freezing. Also heats it up nicely when I'm out there. Sure, electric isn't the cheapest to run, but for occasional use it has been fine for me.
It adds $10-20 per month to my bill in the winter. Granted, the garage is decently insulated, which helps a ton.I have the knock off version of this from Rural King. It works well enough to keep my garage in the 40’s. The only concern I have is I have REMC and my electric bills last winter were awful. I got a new geothermal system for the house this year so I’m
hopeful that will help.
