I build this greenhouse over the last few months. It's 18' x 8' with a 4'x5' concrete room that houses my wood stove. I plan on heating it exclusively with wood to keep it at least above freezing in the winter. I live in southern WI where it can get darn cold for three months or so. Here are some pictures of my setup.
Outside looking at the front.
One side - you can see the stove flue in the back.
Looking in through the door.
Finally, the wood stove. I can adjust the air in take with the PVC valve. Uses 100% outside air for combustion.
Here is a picture of the wood loaded up. This is half of what the guy has for me. Picking the other half up Tuesday.
Split and stacked. Back row is about 7' high, middle row almost 4 feet high and front row just a few layers high.
Luckily having a barrel stove, as long as it's under 10" in diameter it fits in whole. A lot less splitting than with a conventional stove. My work also has 200 pallets I'm bring home that I'm going to use to supplement with this larger wood.
Thank you Craigslist for the free wood.
