Bobby,
Whatever you do, you're sure to feel better simply knowing that you don't
have to worry about the plants freezing on those cold nights!
One last caveat: electric heat in a wet greenhouse can be dangerous. Be
sure to 1) ground it well, and 2) shield it in a way that prevents
accidental watering or even misting. When I used one, it was inside a
"tunnel" with stacked and siliconed brick walls on the sides, and a piece of
galvanized "roofing tin" siliconed to the top, with the front and back open
for the constant air flow of the GH fans.

Ray, I will need to check with the gas guys to see if there is any problem
running another line from the tank to the greenhouse. I think my wife
will
be much more comfortable with electric, but I will check into the propane
options.
Thanks,
Bobby

Don't let the distance to the greenhouse from the tank play a role in
your
thought process. My GH heater uses propane, and the tank and heater are
about 150 feet apart. All it takes is some buried copper tubing!
