hey everyone,

Winter's right around the corner and after 2 years without studio
heat, I MAY finally be able to do something about it.

I have a 1,500 (30' x 50') sf studio with 17' high ceilings (Quonset
hut, so only the peek is that high)

I've been leaning towards a propane tank outside and one of those
propane-powered shop heaters mounted up on an end wall. Are these the
best way to go? any other suggestions?

I've seen the Infrared heaters in home centers and costcos... are they
more efficient?

Cost is a factor for me.

Doesn't the basic combustion of hydrocarbons yield CO2 and H2O? I'd sure worry
about water vapor in my shop. Is yours insulated?

I use yard sale electric heaters right in my work area when I get cold in my
shop in the winter. I see those oil-filled radiator thingys all the time,
standard YS price is five bucks.

Cost is a factor for me too, and likely always will be.
