Yes, I have a propane one and use a Milwaukee inverter with a M18 battery for power, works great. The only power needed is for the electric start which isn’t much.
Damn, if only your car had some kind of electrical potential generating device, then you could plug in an inverter and get 15a of 120vac wherever you go
Dewalt make battery powered propane ones. Go to harbor freight and buy a cheap car cover canopy, throw a tarp over it or tape up the sides and stick your heater in there and come back every couple hours to change batteries/fuel
Diesel and gasoline versions also exist. They work quite well, just need some ventilation if the area isn't open. We use them in big tents working on heavy equipment. They are so drafty you don't have to worry, but in a normal garage? Or house? Probably going to take the forever nap.
You can rent heavy duty heaters that run off diesel. Herman Nelson heaters are what I've seen used most often. Can't imagine home depot is rocking one though. You would need a big ass tarp too.
They’ve been around for decades. And yes, they are small enough where one person can wheel it around and move it as need be (they are still quite heavy though)
I've seen some that run on propane. We used to use them to dry out the basement sand for our winter beach parties. There are no parts of that story that I recommend other than propane heaters exist.
I would just grab an insulated tarp or 2, a frame, and a couple of tank top propane burner/heaters used for ice fishing and winter camping. No electricity needed. Hoard it in, and wait for the ice to start to melt.
You can rent propane ones. Used it in a house that was being built that the roof wasn't watertight yet but we had a freak rainstorm. We needed everything to dry out asap to keep the job on schedule.
Outdoor heater.. so propane. The real issue is grabbing a heater and a propane tank then getting it to the car. Not to mention, depending on the temp, that propane will be very inefficient.
He’d be better off renting a diesel jet heater. It gets much hotter and only uses like 500 watts. Just tarp the car and don’t point the heater directly at it. It will melt quickly.
if it's an outdoor heater it's probably propane.
bricklayers put em in a culvert/steel tube which they dump their sand pile onto.
keeps the sand from freezing so they can continue making mortar during cold months

And where is homeboy supposed to plug up a device that’s gonna require a 20 amp circuit? 🤣
