Best heating option for my pole barn

[famous187]

Recently had a 30x50x12 pole barn constructed and I'm getting to the point where I will begin wiring the barn. It has 3/4" 3HT insulation on the sides, ceiling, and the door is insulated as well. I can't get natural gas out to the building and don't want to mess with a propane unit. My options that I have researched are:
Pellet Stove
Fan Forced Heater

I haven't called my insurance co to make sure the pellet stove option is okay with them so, Im not sure that is an option right now.

I'm leaning towards this:

This would be quite a bit cheaper up front than the pellet stove. The barn would most likely only be heated on the weekends while I'm working out there. Would this unit be adequate for my building?

May I ask why you dont want to use LP?
If you go with LP you can use radiant tube heaters that work best for a garage application.

Thanks for the reply , i dont really want to mess with changing out propane tanks. From doing some more research I dont think the electric heater will be very cost efficient to run. Other than the pellet stove , I have been looking at these:

Like i said, my pole barn is 30x50 but, i will mostly be working in about a 10x20 area , much of the rest of it will be to store my two boats. would two of those infrared heaters work well? Basically I would like to be comfortable working at my bench while Im out there but at this point I dont have a need to heat the whole thing yet.

Why do you have to "change out propane tanks"?

The propane company will install a relatively small (250 gallon) tank and service it. They will even set up a keep full service upon request.

The electric radiant will probably keep you comfortable if you're working directly under them. Propane would probably be cheaper and as mentioned above the propane company will come out and set the tank. Around here they charge $75/year lease then you own the tank after 10 years.

There have been a few threads on here about the propane prices so you might want to do some historical research if possible.
