"Insulation will be everything"
I ran my heater a bit over one winter before I had insulation blown in the ceiling. I was really shocked at the difference after insulating. I knew it would be better, but I didn't know how much.
I think he said no wood or oil?

Yeah, I wasn't implying anything.

I've heard that before, but if it's set up properly, I dont think thats the case.
I can feel the difference from directly underneath my heater vs being over by the wall, but the difference is not really worth noting. If the room is insulated properly, it's hard to beat.
If you research how it works, It heats the stuff, the stuff radiates heat. The trick is to leave it on continuous, so all the stuff stays warm.
Floor stays plenty warm to touch/sit on when it's below zero outside.
The only other thing I would say to the op is do the best you can afford on the insulation, especially the ceiling.

Also, I ordered the heater from a place called, Matchless-energy Management, In Parsippany NJ. They are the distributor in my area for Superior radiant tube heaters.
Guys name is John Grant, super nice guy and very helpful. He did a free heat loss calc and advised what size/type of heater to buy.
Here is the official number of the one I have, Superior Radiant SeriesLTA04N3A Low Clearance Two Stage Heater
No affiliation with these guys, just trying to help.

I have a 30x40 pole building. Metal liner panels on walls and ceiling, fiberglass 6" blankets in the walls, blown in cellulose in the ceiling.
I heat it with a two stage 30-40k, (I think) gas, radiant tube heater hung from the center of the ceiling. My ceiling is only 10', which isn't ideal for RT heaters, but the one I bought is designed for low ceilings and works VERY good.
I set it at 65 (unless my daughter is doing a project, then 68) and it stays dead on through the coldest nights here in NJ. Everything in the shop is at a comfortable temperature, including the floor. T-shirt weather all year round.
After radiant floor, like GRumpy mentioned, radiant tube is the next best thing.
Oh, and its super efficient and I ran my own gas line, very easy to do.

Did you have to change your converter when you put that in?

Thanks for clearing that up Steve.
When I was in hs in the 80s my friends uncle said never use a gasket! lol! But that was SBC / BBC stuff.

Is it me or are Steve and Earl saying two different things?
Steve - thin coating on both sides of a gasket ?
Earl - no gasket, thin coating on both mating surfaces?

"King" Kenny Roberts, super duper Yamaha rider from the ? 70s? 80s?
Google his name. Google knows a little more than me.
But, IT was cool to hear that this dude in NJ got to ride with two of the best in the world.
