Well it's insulated however it's a metal building so all the insulation where the frame is has been compressed when the skin is screwed on so the frame causes allot of heat loss and in the summer they are 40' long 130* radiators. It's far harder to cool the shop than it is to heat it.
When I use a propane heater that is a 30-40-50Kbtu I usually get it warmed up on the 50K real fast then let the 30 run a bit and turn it off then just turn it on as needed. Course the temps vary so much here that BTU needed is all over the place.
We are going to be around 90* on saturday... Temps are all over the place here. Maybe we can go down to the Caribbean for Christmas where it's cooler than here in the US...
Oh and FYI the cheapest Kerosene here is $8 a gallon which is $1 over what it usually is. Far cheaper to buy jet fuel at the airport for those running kerosene. Propane has remained pretty much unchanged despite the media trying to raise the price.
