The trouble with using wood for shop heat, is that a lot of time, energy, and effort goes into gathering and processing fuel, and stoking the stove. I find the stove is a big distraction. I'm always wanting to mess with the fire.

The best wood fired system I ever did, I made a heat exchanger on the stove to generate hot water, and used a circulater pump through a big radiator and some baseboard to heat the place. It was amazingly effective. Later we added a high efficiency gas boiler, but kept the wood boiler in parallel so that you could use either.

That is unless you have a woodshop attached to the metal shop and have several thousand board feet of 7% moisture black walnut scrap siting around at any one time. ;)

A friend of mine has a forced air wood stove in his shop.
On a platform behind the stove he has a metal 5 gallon bucket of all his used oil. There's a spigot and it runs in a metal pipe down I to the stove where it hits a dispersal system that drips it on the fire. So any time the fire is low toss some wood in there and turn on the oil. 30 seconds later you have a raging inferno and its good for the next several hours.

I have been thinking about something along the lines of a combination wood/waste oil heater.

There are also some very good automatic stoker coal fired stoves out there. You fill an external bin with "rice" coal, and the stove will run without operator intervention for three days.

I've got a little Pacific Energy stove up at the cottage that gets the 750 sq ft warm enough and man does it burn clean. Will be tested in late December when its -20 celsius but we'll see. Might need a bigger stove for longer all night burns next winter.

Wood is such a nice heat but is definitely a lot of work.

Oh and yeah, of course we have cottages in North Korea.

I find the same issue with the wood stove, spend all of the time stoking it or huddling beside it. Got a magic heater just recently from Northern Tool, fits in the stove pipe, works pretty good...wood stove keeps the pot of kimchi warm for supreme leader....

And people say I don't have a sense of humor. Of course they only get to say that once.

You don't have a sense of humor. You merely tried using humor to side-step the serious issue of censorship and your pandering and brown-nosing to business interests.

Your efforts at control, censorship and side-stepping real issues are telling.

Now for some good news for Hi pster s:

I am out of here for good. I spent little time here, but with this sort of shit going on this forum does not deserve the time of any good men, and it will find that out the hard way in the near future as it's general population slowly catches onto that.
