We are converting an 8x40 shipping container into a "she shed" for my wife's sewing room.  I have insulated it pretty well, but it still requires a heat source and we don't want to use propane (lots of heat but other drawbacks).  Most of the small "electric fireplace" free-standing units max out at 1500 watts and about 5200 BTU.  I did find one with an 1800 watt rating but it is too big for the space.

Does anyone know of a good option that might provide more heat?  I haven't completed the power setup yet, so if going to a 220 volt unit is an option I could add the wiring to make that happen.  Would prefer one with a blower if available.  The oil-filled radiators take forever to warm up after powering on, so they are also on the list of undesireables.  Does anyone have experience with a split unit heat pump?  That might be another option but would require finding someone to install it.

Thanks in advance for any "pearls of wisdom" any of you you can throw our way!
