A rough garage wall is exactly where a screen earns its keep, so I’d try it before settling for a flatter patch.
We usually get back before the battery becomes an issue, but I have noticed it drains faster in cold weather. Last month on a frosty morning it seemed to drop quicker than usual, though it still made it home. I just charge it after every trip now, becomes second nature like plugging in my phone.
I actually think the screen matters more than people give it credit for, even with a dim projector. The first time I set mine up in the yard I was surprised how much nicer the picture looked just because it had a proper surface to land on instead of the side of the house. It won’t turn a weak projector into a bright one, but it made movie night feel more like an actual setup. Are you projecting onto a wall right now or just whatever flat spot you can find?
I used mine on low overnight for about a week and found it quieter than my old ceramic one. On high it’s a different story, but I rarely need that setting unless the room is really cold. It’s a pleasant little heater overall.
I tried mine with a chunky lentil soup once and the stirring just pushed the thicker bits to the side while the liquid swirled around them. It wasn’t a disaster, but I ended up finishing it with a spoon anyway. Thin and smooth seems like the safer bet if you’re set on trying it.
I keep a little notebook in the garage and jot down the date whenever I do anything to mine, which honestly has been the only way I remember to do it at all. For weekend use in a mild climate, the manual intervals stretched out a bit have worked fine for me so far. Curious whether you’re leaning gas or battery for the trimmer, since that changes the routine quite a bit.
