Finally got the heater and insulation done in the shop. Expensive and a pain in the butt, but it was worth it. No more fumes from kerosene or torpedo heaters! Details:
Approximately 1,100 sf. Heater is a natural gas Reznor UDAS-45. Separate combustion chamber so you don't burn any of the crap in the air then breath it in. 45,000 BTU. Came with the vertical chimney kit that pre-warms the fresh air intake.
R-13 fiberglass rolls in the walls then 5/8 drywall. Ceiling has the 5/8 drywall with plastic sheeting for a vapor barrier. Blew in 28 bundles of fiberglass. The loft is not quite R-60 in the attic. The roll-up doors are R-22 if I remember right.
All this is controlled by the Honeywell thermostat. Has a fan only setting if I just want to circulate the air. I keep it at 40 degrees all the time. When I want to go out and work I just set the thermostat to 65. It warms up to temp very quickly.
