Chris, If you are thinking intermittent shop heating, don't worry about the cost per BTU. Especially an air to air heat pump. During sub zero temps when you need them the most, they won't work. Not using one all the time isn't worth the investment.
I have a well insulated attached 2 car garage, 24x24. It takes almost nothing to heat it. One 1500 watt electric baseboard.
Another 24x24 stand alone garage I rarely heat. When I do I have 3 1500w IR I can focus on myself and stay nice and toasty.
As for my pole barn, no insulation. Sun warms it during the day. Good enough for me.
I like the idea of having a generator for two purposes. One portable back up power, the other to power a chainsaw.
I have two portable IR LP MR Heaters. They can be connected a 20# LP tank. It can produce 6,12,18,000 Btu’s. It can take the chill off small garage. It burns much cleaner than a oil heater or any LP heater connected to the top of a bottle. It can also be used as a back up heat source in your home. I have about 6 20# bottles which can be used on a grill too.
I find it cheaper to get LP tanks refilled at TSC than it is to exchange tank for a full one.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
