These stir up rather interesting debates on other forums. Here is the deal. Daylight basement shop. Mine is built in a hill so I guessing 65 to 75% of my shop is below grade. No leaks and no humidity problem. Large insulated garage door. My space is roughly 30 x 40.
I have two propane lines in the shop on opposite sides. My need for heat is not great, but after a few cold nights it gets to cold to work comfortably in there. I was given a gas furnace that is way overkill. I have to test it to see if it OK and safe. If it works and not leaking carbon monoxide then I am in good shape.
Assuming it isn't I am looking around for a propane fueled heater. I want something around $200 in price. I don't mind radiant heat just concerned about the size of the shop. Anyone have any suggestions or thought? Hopefully this furnace will check out OK. If so I will have to have some short duct work built and ad a thermostat. If not I am going to need something soon.

Dreading when the cold finally hits the sunny south.
