Brewing outside in winter

[jfr1111]

I tried using the turkey fryer in my little tool shed and from the way it is setup, you'd think it was made for brewing: I have a slittle shelf to put all the tools necessary and the sliding doors make it that CO is not a problem. As far as the timer goes, it doesn't bother me too much since I wouldn't plan on leaving a propane burner unattended in a garage. The only little thing that worries me is the travel distance from the shed to the front door: this thing can get icy, so I'll have to be extra careful and use a lot of abrasives and shovel religiously.

That and the neighbors dog who tried to lick the burner. I had to get all Ceasar Milan on his butt at one point

I found a way of keeping my partial mash temps from dropping too much while brewing this weekend @ around freezing temps outside. Placed a bunch of burlap over the pot while mashing.

do you guys think this 40,000 BTU burner will be enough to do in a garage in these -25C (-13F) winters in Canada?

I plan on doing it with the the small side door partially ajar or maybe the large door just slightly open for carbon monoxide
