I lost my hot water heat generating stove a year and some ago. Previously I could keep my wood shop @ 50 degrees in the dead of winter with one radiator.
My 18 X 32 shop (10ft. ceiling) is very well insulated. I don't have time to cut wood. I also have natural gas dead head piped out to the Pole building.
I want to heat the uninsulated side and the wood shop side.
So my question is; I am thinking of using a simple plaque type infra red wall mount heater for the wood shop. I have heard that the give off lots of water vapor when heating. Is this really an issue with the dry winter air? Or is it just an issue on those days with higher humidity during the transition weeks going into Winter and going into Spring? The saying in Michigan is "if you don't like the weather, then wait 5 min."
If this is a real problem then it might make sense to go with a vented box type natural gas blower/heater.
Anyone with experience concerning this?
