    I've used propane heaters in the past but recently switched to infrared. Infrared can get pretty toasty, and it heats you, rather than expending energy to heat the air around you.

    infrared is the tits.
    in my current setup I'm using a propane heater, but if i keep working with this setup, I'll be switching back to infrared at some point.

    The shop I work out of has a pellet stove. I’m up in Massachusetts and it keeps our shop super warm during the winter months
