Hello all,
I am looking for a heat source for my workshop. At the moment I am insulating the ceiling and walls. It is approximately 15'x30' in size with a concrete floor and is a separate building from my house. I have been thinking all along that I would be getting a 220v ceiling electric heater and even have the shop wired up to install this unit but...I am concerned about all the sawdust with this heater. Firehazard?
Lately I have been thinking more about getting a wood heater. I have stumbled across one called a Rocket Mass heater. It seems very doable. I have a mig welder so I believe I can make one on the cheap. Also should have an abundant source of fuel for this heater. Is there anyone here that has one or knows of someone that does that can give me advise as to why this is a good or bad option? Also thought of just a potbelly stove. What would be your suggestion? Go with the electric heater or what? Thanks for any advise you can give.
