Keep in mind a small one with a good fire in it works much better than a bigger one with a small fire in it. They need to get up to a decent temperature to run efficiently, you will often find yourse

I would say the smallest one you can buy, or no bigger than 5 kW.

A burner made out of a 13kg gas bottle will be well enough for a space like that and make sure you put a decent surround behind it against the shed wall it'll be fine,i've used burners of this size in

Save yourself a whole load of work, grief and eliminate safety issues and get an oil filled radiator.

Cheap as chips to run, no cleaning, fire hazards and you flick a switch it's on and off.

oil filled rad be no good for a 5m x 5m workshop/shed fella. They ok for small insulated spaces imo.

It's ten foot by twelve foot mate, I've got one in a fourteen by ten on low continuously and it's fine.

Ramp it up to full power for an hour then lower it to a medium heat.

It'll do bugger all on a cold day in an uninsulated shed, plus dear to run if left on all day.
