I bet...We call them 'sun flowers' here, the double headed one is very good too, but you do go through a cylinder pretty quick.

yeah, I've only been leaving it on for 3 or 4 hours and once the shop is so warm that I have to open the doors I shut her off, still on the same tank, would love to hook up to the 100 gallon tank with it but that would probably break every code in the book.

Bro, install a propane heater like we did. Ours was bigger than this, but same idea. Puts out tons of heat.Then you can tie it into your larger tank. Vent free.

Is that the one you guys had in the house for backup heat?

Similar to, we had a different brand one. Just put propane wall heater in an Amazon search and you will find a few. Since your shop is one story it will heat quickly. Ours had a built in blower that we hardly used -- but when we did it would really circulate the heat. Ours was located near our stairs and a lot of our heat rose to the 2nd floor. More of a layout challenge vs. anything to do with the heater.

Pork, any issues using a 'non-vented' unit...moisture problems?

One of those and the door sweeps Moro had linked to would work pretty well together.

No. Our place was pretty big and we never had any condensation build up on the windows or anything -- I always checked for it. Especially knowing how drafty the door is I couldn't imagine there being any problems.
