when I had to work in the garage in winter at my folks house, we had a small gas heater that we'd T into the line going to the water heater and furnace. It would heat it up enough to work in there and keep things from freezing, but that was about it.
Are you able to insulate the exterior walls of the garage?
if it's all rocked over, you might consider having a foam insulation company come out and do it for you. they drill a ~1" hole at one end of the rock and stick a hose into it and fill the walls with foam. works very well.

Two things I won't do. Keep gas containers out side (maybe I'm crazy, but arsonists do exist), and open my walls to insulate the generic way.
I have heard of the foam method but I think it may be too expensive. We may do renovations in the near future, and foaming would be money thrown out.
Insulating won't help with out heating, and since we have it insulated between the vinyl exterior and the wood structure, I feel that would be enough with minimal heating to raise the temperature.
I was worried about how fumes and this heating unit. Gas is always kept in one of those red gas jugs, but fumes do travel.
Any more ideas would be appreciated
