I would have thought anything that is gas will create damp as when gas burns does it not produce water as a by product?
That will then form condensation when the temp drops
Maybe a electric tube heater just to keep the place above freezing if is a small shed but these days everything that is gas or electric is money hungry
Even my garage that is part of the house with a bedroom on top gets cool but thankfully no condensation issues and if it does get colder I have a C/H rad plumbed in that I can turn on to keep the place comfortable

I've put a spare electric pipe heater of (I think) around 100w into my 20' by 10' cedar bike garage and so far this winter, although it is wetter than we can ever remember, it's held condensation at bay.
Without the heater on previous years, there have been real issues with damp in there.

a dehumidifier is a good idea but i also want a bit of warmth to work in there! my 62 year old joints dont work well in the cold

Portable air con unit can be used as a heater
