I appreciate everyone's comments, and suggestions. I have medical
conditionss that result in major problems if I get to cold or to hot.
I have more than enough power (electric) to the house to run any
thing. My brother who was an electriction for major comercial
companies told me my house had more electrical service than many
companues he worked on. The problem I have is that we have added so
many circuits that the three large panels don't have room for another
circuit breaker. So after looking at all the articles here, I am
purchasing a 170,000 propane heater and a #100 propane tank. Cost will
be about $500.00 when I get done, but well with in considerations,
since I don't think any thing of spending over #1,000.00 on a gun or
new shop tool. Besides, I am in my late 70's & I don't want to leave
any money for my 7 children to fight over. So I will spend it on my
shop and tools which I love.

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?

The ultimate is to get a permanent propane heater (Red Dawg, seems to be the best), but it will cost too much right now.

Any suggestions for a good heater?
