What ever you do, DON'T install a ventless heater. I just about did, but a friend warned me that the water vapor created by the heater will condense on everything and rust steel parts. He did and had to remove it and install a vented heater. I have a Lennox Hot Shot 45K BTU ceiling hung natural gas furnace/heater that is thermostatically controlled and side wall vented. It works great. I only heat my shop when it is 20 degrees or above outside. Needless to say, I haven't worked out in the shop much this winter as it has been a real bad winter here in Minnesota. Maybe it will be better next year. I ready for some global warming!
