Fabbed up a plenum on top to direct hot air into the shop. We are total electric at the home so did have to buy a couple small tanks at 88 gallon and 108 gallon to feed it. They typically lasted two winters before needing refilled. Two years ago, I put in a double barrel wood stove. Even in this 0 degree weather, that stove can heat the shop up to the mid 60's or probably more if It was fed it more wood. In this extreme cold, I have kept a couple of space heaters running in there that maintains 45 degree temps. The propane tanks went dry two years ago and haven't bothered to refill them. Wood is free for us here in the country with our trees dropping big limbs in the Oklahoma winds. An hour of chainsaw work can keep the stove supplied for a week or more.</blockquote>
