My wife and I don't smoke in the house so when it starts getting to cold for the deck we move to the garage. Last year we found one of those parabolic heaters at costco or BJs and leave it on at night. It doesn't seem to be to bad on the elec. bill and makes you feel warm when your sitting in front of it. This year I told her I want a small tv to mount on the wall so it'll be a little nicer to sit out there for a cigar. I guess I 'm lucky in one way that my commute is 1 to 2 hr. so I get to smoke a stick in the morning and afternoon.
