Good Heater?

[I am Carbon]

I've read about people using one of these wood stoves.

The PO of my house used the space as a home office, so I'm fortunate enough to have a furnace in my work shop.

I used one of those for years in New Mexico.
It works great and you can cook on it too.
If you get a new the first fires should be low heat to season it as they say. So it don't crack. After that blaze away.

When i worked out of my garage I had a kerosine heater from Lowes which would get my two bays nice and toasty. Im in a shop with a large natural gas heater mounted on the ceiling and electric heat in the office, but one day I'd love to have a shop with a wood stove for heat.

I keep my nuts warm with this:


65,000btu Hamilton. Pretty much the same as a Modine. Overkill for my 14x22 garage, but I open the door a lot bringing snowmobiles in and out.

...how many cats does it take to evaluate a heater ?

Here, a minimum of 4. It's a union thing. I have no say in the matter.



Every winter my thoughts turn to an outdoor wood furnace. Have plenty of firewood, prefer to have it outdoors anyways, keeps the mess out there. But, they are $$$$$$

One of the out door wood burners with the radiant floor heat. Sounds great. Warm floor.

Mother Earth says it is still the best thing for the environment.
And your pocketbook. You have to be a bit handy though.
