Default Re: shop heat

I have a shop that is 40x80. It is heated with a wood stove made from 2 - 55 gallon barrels. Puts out the equivalent of a 100,000btu furnace. Even with tempts outside at -10 and wind chills of -30, it is always 65 to 70 in the warehouse. Yes, it is an insulated building. I burn about 10 cords of wood a season from Nov. to April. We only heat when we work inside. Propane furnace is back up set at 40.
