BUILD AFTER THOUGHTS:
Not important, but the only change I would make is to put the door switch on a toggle switch(I did it). This is so you can interrupt the heating cycle at any point(just like opening the door of the dryer). You can still do this by turning the knob to stop but I think a switch would be more user friendly. Make sure all of your wires are tied out of the way of the spinning motor and the heat tube. If all of this scares you just buy a comparable heater: https://amzn.to/3IASSVe . It will cost you $0.40-$0.70 an hour to use. At a few hours per week in the garage/shop this will set you back $10-15 a month.

NEVER BEEN a better time to put a 240v 50amp outlet in your garage
ELECTRIC DRYERS put out around 20k BTU at 5500watts and require 240volts/25amps.
A 50amp 240v outlet for welders, charging your Tesla Cyber Truck or Ford Lightning, will work great to handle this.
