Hello
I'm building a new but small shop, it will be 8' X 10' how ever living
in the north east it will get cold up here, it will be insulated, tyvec
wrapped and sided, have ac for the summer, but need heat for the winter,
I saw and like the "Hot Dog" heaters that hang from the ceiling and run
on propane, any input will be gladly welcomed.

I don't know what a "hot dog" heater is (by that name at least) but I'll
echo Confused's concern -- gas is ok in a shop but should definitely be
external draft model, not internal. Higher initial cost, but for a
small area wouldn't be exorbitantly different and the peace of mind is
priceless...

Only way I'd relent is if this is to be an "all-Neandertool" shop and no
plan for finishing--in that case the dust and/or fumes generation could
be minimal enough as to not be a major concern.
