Heating The Shop

My shop is 32 x 40 but I partition it off in the winter time with heavy tarps running through the middle. Separates my metal from wood side so I heat 24 x 32. I have a 30K BTU ventless propane heater that bumps up the temp about 30 deg. from outside in about 45 minutes. Makes it more than tolerable to work, but everything is still cold to the touch. I don't have a rust issue with all of the water vapor from the propane combustion probably because there are two ceiling fans that run 24/7 on low. Keeps the air moving and presumably helps evaporate any sweat off the machines. I use a 100 lbs. tank for the propane source.
