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.
