We finally got the wood burning stove completed last weekend, and gave her a test fire. Works perfectly. It has a thermostat on it, to kick the blower on when it gets hot enough. The blower kick out a lot of heat. This winter will be a trial-and-error, to see how it works without ducting. The blower blows the heat out of the small port on the right of the top of the stove. We are going to leave that for now. If extra ducts and registers are needed, they will be added. Same goes for insulation on all of the walls. I have the Monte in front of the stove now. Everything is prepared for winter. Not done driving them yet, but just prepared for when I am.

One time I was working on a car in a concrete block garage with no heat and a temp around 45 or 50 degrees. I was chilled to the bone , that concrete floor was COLD. It turns out that I came down with the Flu, yes the real Flu, and was in bed for a week. I was miserable. JB

I know your dad set it up correctly, But did he check with your homeowners insurance to see if they covered the garage with a wood stove in it, I know ours wouldn't, But I got lucky and found a 75,000 btu shop heater set up for propane for 75 bucks. Feel free to stop by here and talk about your garage and get some tips. Lotta good folks.

We have a propane one. I can't use it, it gives me an excruciating migraine because of the fumes. Wood stove was the only way to go so I can work.

If you have a vented propane stove that is causing you to have headaches something is wrong with it, heat exhanger is bad.

It wasn't a really a stove...it was a cylinder thing that you hooked up to a propane tank for the bbq grille that just sat on the floor. No exhaust vents or anything. POS really.

yea , they can suck up some O2 if you have it in a closed garage, I had a 175k kero one and I hated it, but it worked for not having a ceiling or insulated walls.
