I read somewhere that when propanes burns it increases the amopunt of
water vapor by 4X (four times). That seems to be true because the
amount of humidity jumps when I run propane in my shop.

It's all in how you measure things --

One cu.ft. of propane, when burned, creates approximately 4 cu.ft. of water
vapor.

One lb of propane, when burned, creates approximately 2-1/4 lbs of water
(in vapor form, of course.) This is roughly 35 fl.oz.

I would try that as well. Maybe run it full time.

A dehumidifier might be a good idea - start it up as soon as
the heater is turned on, and park it next to the jointer. -Wm

A dehumidifier will also help to heat the garage, just as much as
any electric resistance heater with the same power consumption.
(Probably not much compared to that propane heater.)
