Not if you don't have constant ventilation.
If you are going to insulate a shop, I strongly suggest the heater be a
through-the-wall
type that uses outside air for combustion and exhaust. I paid a lot for my
Empire. It is a 30,000 BTU unit. I have a 20 x 30 shop. The heater hardly
ever comes on when it is zero degrees F outside. I hold the shop at 50 degrees
F all winter.
I like the fact that whatever I have in the shop can't get to the flame, and
the heater can't use up all my oxygen or dump its own fumes into my shop.
For a shop which is essentially open to the elements, and you only want to heat
it up now and then, just about anything will work. But not for me. I played
that game for decades, and I am thrilled to no longer have condensation, tools
freezing to my fingers, and just plain annoyance.
