Can't help you on whether the gas setup is OK. If you live in a northern climate that gets to -20 on occasion and the shop is nice-n-tight and the insulation is6 inches thick in the ceiling and at least 12 inches in the attic your heater is way too big. It will cook you out a minute after it kicks in and will continue to cook you until the thermostat warms up enough to shut it down. The air will warm up faster than the thermostat can handle it.
