DougWe just scrapped such a furnace that was heating my studio in Toronto.It was perfectly OK, and ran on natural gas, with a nice stainless steel heat exchanger.Yes, scrapped, me?The gas company charges a flat rate delivery charge of $50. Per month, whether you use any, or not just to keep those pipes safely in the ground.Any gas you use is on top of that fee.This is twelve months per year!So you are a frigging insullation freak and go R30. Baby, you are still paying that delivery charge.
My friend Mike, installed an electric heat pump, in a solid endorsement of my purhaps delusional belief that we can make electricity, some day.The gas service has been cut off along with the compulsory service charges saving $600/ year plus the gas burnt.What a winter to test a heat pump!It has been -27C even there, in Toronto.It is toasty warm, quiet, and is costingway less then the warm winter we had last year.It is just an air to air heat pump.The way to go is a liquid heat exchanged in the floor system, based on geo thermal and solar thermal combined, the pumps run by our voodoo electricityMike is super experienced, building these systems for high end clients, who enjoy the luxury of heated floors, and radiant dust free, silent heat, free of drafts. Oh, and costing nearly nothing to the energy companies for heat.I hear the stone barn calling for it, and my Caterpiller idling ready to go for it.Cheers Warren

Maybe you need one of those industrial gas burners with fan that runs off big propane or whatever tank, that you see in auto shops usually be hanging off ceiling....and/or the propane blower heaters they use in construction, to dry out rooms so drywall mud will dry....these will leave thin film of propane over everything sometimes but maybe point it at your stone walls, heat those up....
Electric heated work-overalls are good thing too....
Maybe make an "inner chamber" (igloo) just for you, a heater, and your tools bench and projects
