Ok, while I know I am lucky to be in an area of the country where it
doesn't get much below 40, but due to my extreme reaction to cold, I
can't work in my shop unless it's over 65. I may have Raynaud's
disease, since my fingers go to blocks of ice at below 50.

I am looking for a good, safe heater for the shop. Safe, in that when
use my saw or planner, any sawdust in the air won't catch fire. I'm
looking at some portable radiant heaters that use 220v and I think
they might work, but which one?

This comes up every year about this time of year. Quick answer - any method
you choose. None are any more or any less safe than another. It's all
about what what you can find most affordable in your area. It does not
matter what propane costs in some other area of the country, or what some
someone did 30 years agao - what will each alternative cost you today in
your area? Safe - they are all safe, so forget that consideration. You
will not subject your shop to any unsafe conditions with your planner or any
sawdust with any heating options. As for any 220v heaters - look on line.
