How do you all heat your shops? Heat ours with a old wood burner. Going to upgrade to a double barrel stove.
 
I use a "modified"barrel type stove..with a waste oil dripper.You cant see it very well,the 5 gal hanging upper right is the reservoir.The heater is hideing behind the steel table.

I assembled a double 30 gallon stove for my barn,I plan on putting it in this spring,Have to finish up the outdoor pipe,wish though i had it in this year.I burnt alot of brush in it to burn off the original paint outdoors.Puts out alot of heat!...john
 
I am like Mike, and heated by Mother Nature. No plans on upgrading at least now. I have an outdoor wood burning furnace heating my house, and it has an additional outlet to plumb another line/pump to my shop, however it is pretty hungry for wood, and not sure I want to try to put more load on it. It is supposed to heat up to 5,000 sq feet, but I am heating over 3,000 in my house now, as well my residential hot water, and cutting more wood than I like as it is.
 
I heat mine once in a while with a custom built wood stove. Uses an old boiler tank for the fire box and is about 4 foot long so it can take a long piece of wood. Has the door from an old Ashley stove for the door. It has a 2nd tank like what the double barrel set up has but that is an old water heater tank. The pipe going out the roof is well casein pipe and has been hanging in my shop for about 20 years. It has seen at least 4 different stoves but still the same pipe
 
I have a 24"x34" shop. 11" ceiling height, well insulated. I use a Miller Gun Trailer oil fired furnace on one end of shop. Maintains 40* until I turn it up, then in about 20 min. it"s t-shirt weather. I absolutely love it. Top off the tank in Fall, no fuss, no muss. Have a Goodun. Dick in Vermont. Also snow country.

Shop??? What's that? Wish I had one big enough to do something in. A friend of mine had a really nice double barrel stove in his shop and had to take it out. Don't know if it was the insurance company or the county that made him do it.
 
I have a small Dayton electric unit heater that hangs from the ceiling. My garage is 20x25 with 9ft ceiling and insulated as best I could. I keep the garage at 50 degrees when not using it and turn it up when I need to. Didn't think I wanted a heat source with an open flame because I thought I would probably blow myself up eventually. Not really economical to leave on higher temps but works for me, keeps things from freezing and the wife's car is in the garage so it makes points there. Allan.

A giant electrical short, aka an electric heater, could also be an ignition source.
 
Infloor radiant heat with the heat being supplied by a Weil McLain Ultra (LP) boiler. It"s the cat"s meow. I don"t think I could go back to anything else. Though I must say...any heated shop is a luxury.

I have a 40x64 polebarn,and one half is the shop... 32x40 with 16ft ceiling, insulated ceiling,and 1 1/2 styrofoam in the walls. I have an old wood stove with a blower that my buddy had in his kitchen. Its a wood pig,but i can easily get it up to 70 degrees in there on 20-30 degree days.
