Steve, I think that a propane space heater (externally vented) coupled with a wood stove is a great combination. That's what I have. The space heater is on a thermostat that makes sure that the shop does not go down to freezing, then when I go into the shop in the morning I start a fire to warm the place up for comfortable working.
