This is good advice. I've been in the DFW area during the holidays and it doesn't get THAT cold. I know it's all relative, but one of the propane tank heaters should be more than enough. They work well in both open air and in porches or garages. You do need some ventilation, but not nearly like the old kerosene heaters. Some half finger gloves might be a good pickup too.
