Keep in mind that exhausting hydrocarbons inside your shop also adds moisture. Depending on your climate this may or maynot be a problem.

I blew it when I built my garage. Radiant Floor heat is the way to go if you are going to heat it all the time. Nothing like laying on a warm floor. I have been looking at electical mats that will keep my feet warm but I don't know if they will do the job in New England. I guess a propane space heater is the way.
If you have ever been over to the Garage Joural there is alot of good information on that site.http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/index.php

I have a 24 x 30 garage with a office upstairs and heat it with 220 electric ceiling mounted heater. It's set at 45 all the time and when I want to work in the shop I just turn the heater up a couple of hours ahead of time.

You can see the heater on the ceiling just as you start up the stairs.
