I have a barrel stove heater and fan , 150,000btu or more it warms my 1000 sq ft sheet metal shed but insulating and drafts are a problem .
Yes, floor heat is probably not needed here in Georgia but it doesn't cost much to put the Pex in the slab so I'm most likely going to do it anyway.

I would never use any type of open flame in a shop to heat...it just scares me. You must have A/C here in Georgia so I will install a 2.5 or 3 ton heat pump to heat & cool the 40 x 40 shop and 40 x 60 2nd floor. My MIL apartment will get a 1.5 ton heat pump.
