.I would bet that any firebox of about 2 cubic feet with good quality wood should hold some fire over about 10 hours. It will not put out much heat, however. With a large interior space and little insulation, a small stove in a work area would just be for stand-beside, prop-feet-against comfort.
Are you planning to cut the wood yourself? I imagine buying wood near you costs an arm and a leg. Cutting and splitting your own wood requires time and kind of a love for doing the job. After close to 40 years it seems my husband has lost the desire to cut any more firewood. We have bought it the last 2 seasons and it still is cheaper than paying for natural gas for the furnace. There is another like the dry heat from a wood stove. It may end up a clothes rack like your tiller that you used once.
Yall are seriously giving @Nyboy advice on putting in a wood burning stove????
The same Nyboy that nearly burned down the kitchen after installing an electric oven???
I say, have a reputable company install a propane heater with a thermostat.
true
I don't hate anything about it. I do like the lack of the bits carried into the house come spring time. But wood warms your through to your bones. It is the only fuel that warms you twice.
