Shop Heater Hookup

[Rhizando]

I am extending my shop this Spring and need a way to heat it. I currently have a WoodMaster 4400 and was wondering what others have done here. I would have loved to do radiant floor but that's out of the question now as I already have a slab.

I was looking at these:

Has anyone used one of these before? How do you heat your shop?

Thanks!

How big is the shop? Whats gonna be happening in the shop? Got access to free wood? Why do babies cry for no good reason?

Shop size : 30x40ish

Free wood: I scrounge up what I can, but I usually buy a couple log loads each season.

Uses: This would not be a business operation. Most likely be used for short periods of time. Ex. Working on the truck, snowmobile, drinking beer = ), etc.

Insulation: I have bought insulation just have not put it up yet.

The first thing I would suggest (disclaimer, I dont not sell OWBs) Would be a cheap wood furnace. Something about 100K btus so you can charge it with wood and heat the place up fast. No ductwork, just let the heat fly. It would be up to you if you wanted to get an EPA furnace. With spotty usage, you may not realize the advantages to an EPA Furnace.

If I could find one cheap enough I would probably just go that route. I thought it would be nice to plumb it up to the outdoor wood boiler and only have to fill one stove. That way I could just turn on the system to the shop when I wanted it heated (the boiler is next to the shop).

Thanks for your help.
