I'm looking for advice......I'm wrapping up the renovations to my man-cave / shop and will need to heat the space. The area is 650sf in size, constructed with cmu and is uninsulated.....its part of a large 5-car garage / barn structure. I'm not sure if I should go with a propane or electric heater.
