Winter outside heater recommendations?

[pektel]

I use a 115,000btu torpedo heater in the garage. I put it at the opposite corner of the garage, and can smoke in my tshirt and jeans. It keeps the garage a nice 60-65.

What about something like this? http://www.heater-store.com/original..._medium=Google
Looks simple, warm... BUT will ventilation be a problem? It's about as well ventilated as a garage...

Also, could a unit like that be moved out to my barn and used to keep a small area habitable in the winter while I was working? (dual purpose is always a plus)

The Mr. Heater in your link is one that I use outside. As Bob said, when you use a propane heater indoors you need good ventilation -- which may mean letting in more cold air than you want...
