I have wood heat in my detached 35x50 shop and altho don't use it regularly it does a good job for heating. No gas lines near the shop and electric heat or propane is just too pricey. Takes a bit to warm up true but after I get it started in late fall or winter weather I generally go back in the house for another cup of coffee. Actually is a barrel stove made from two 55 gallon barrels, one stacked on the other for added heat collection. Use an oscillating pedestal fan to move the heated air thru the shop. Have two acres with a lot of trees that always need trimming. Also burn scrap lumber when does not have any paint or oil on it. Always a source of wood fuel so cost was minimal except for initial barrel stove kit and flue pipe.
