Re: [MBZ] More propane

IIRC the shop isn't insulated? So I figure 2 gallons per hour constant run. 1 hour run to heat the shop, then 20 minutes an hour to keep at temp. You are gone a couple days a week so... 2 hours a day shop time three days a week= 8 gallons. 6 hours a day shop time two days a week = 10-11 gallons.
