80k is likely too much, and yes you can have too much. It will short cycle the heater if you go too big. Follow the sq ft recommendation for the heater.

Gas is the way I would go. I trenched from my house to the garage last year to run a bigger and new electrical service out there.
Bought an electric heater runs off a 220. Costs about $12 a day to run it. I left that fucker on the whole first month and got the surprise of my life when that electrical bill came. I shoulda ran a separate trench and ran a gas line as well, lesson learned

hell no. just get B vent. youll be fine
dont forget those mr heater things are forced exhaust, and its not as hot as a vertical non forced unit.
Wtf is a b vent?
Any issues running this horizontal vs vertical?
Now kind of thinking I don’t want snow and shit to fall into it if horizontal. And if I go vertical it may heat that part of the attic next to the kids room which is always cold so it may help. So either go through a brand new roof or brand new siding...hmmmm
Wife won’t care as long as it’s not ugly and passes inspection and code
