I have a new garage now and need to get heat in it pretty soon. The previous owner took the woodburner that was in it, but the chimney is still there.
Eventually I would like to put a gas furnace in it, but for now wood will have to do. I've been thinking of making one out of a 55 gallon drum. I can buy a kit with the necessary hardware, and plan to line the bottom with fire brick so it lasts longer.
I'm just wondering how well this would heat the shop. It's 1900 sq. ft. with a 12' ceiling, and it is insulated.
Any thoughts?
