We are rebuilding a shop.. the roof caught fire.. so were installing new steel and also ill be pouring a new concrete floor in thier. The rough size is around 34 x 54 with 12 ft ceilings. ive choosing not to put in a gas heater. B ut would like to get ahold of a good decent (cheep) wood burner. I'm guessing the area i would like to heat is around 1600sq ft. But would be figuring that a bigger burner would be better. My father tells me just do the old 55 gal barrel thing stacked on top of each other.. but i cant see how that would be very efficient and a pain to clean the ashes out of. My employers brother offered me a house coal burning furnace. Would that work with a little modding? Only time it would be used is only when it gets really cold.. and only to keep the chill off. any ideas?
Thanks for the replys
