If this a block structure that's been open to the elements for a while, you can use a dehumidifier.

Be very careful with a gas heater. You can burn up all the oxygen in the room and/or cause dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Do not use this in a closed space.
It can also be a source of ignition for paint or solvent fumes or other flammable materials.

What does an 8 x 10 x 16 concrete block weigh Is there a difference between a concrete block a concrete cinder block?
It weighs 59 lbs. There is a difference between a "real" cinder block and a concrete block. A cinder block uses cinders--ash from the burning of coal--as its aggregate. Concrete blocks are made from concrete. Concrete block is far stronger than is cinder block, and some jurisdictions prohibit the use of cinder block. The only justification for cinder block is that it weighs less than concrete block, which is important if the ground you're building on isn't strong enough to support a heavy structure. This justification has gone away, because now you can buy concrete block made from expanded-shale aggregate that's as light as cinder block and as strong as standard-weight concrete masonry.
