I will second what Cannonball posted. I still have the K-1 heaters for portable stuff. In the shops I use the propane heater. They burn cleaner and are much cheaper to run.
I can get a 100 LBS cylinder filled for $50. That contains 23.8 gallons of propane. So that costs $2.10 per gallon. K-1 has 135,000 BTUs per gallon where Propane is just 91,500 BTUs per gallon. SO you need basically 1.5 gallons of propane to match a gallon of K-1. So $2.10 x 1.5 = $3.15 per gallon. So if your K-1 is higher than $3.15 then propane is cheaper.
Also the propane burns much cleaner and the propane heater is quieter than the K-1 heaters. That is the forced air ones with a fan.
The Propane Convection Heaters — 200,000 BTU, make almost zero noise. They are cheap too.
Here is a Mr. Heater Propane Convection Heater — 200,000 BTU, at Northern Tool on sale for $109.
