Hi all,
I've recently moved to a northern state, after 40 years in soutwest
Florida, and I'm going to build a brand new workshop from scratch,
about 24' x 36'. I'm drawing it up in AutoCAD right now and I'm
presently considering the location of a woodburning stove in the shop
to keep it warm and as a means of disposing of cut-off material.

A 24'x36' shop is not the biggest shop in the world and it seems you
tend to grow into the space you're allocated so I'm trying to figure
out the things that might effect the location of the stove.

The shop will also be airconditioned, it will also have a trussed
roof with a 6/12 pitch, 2x6 walls 10' high, with 1/2" plywood & vinyl
lap siding exterior, R19 and 1/2" plywood interior walls, drywall
ceiling with R30, a 16'x8' overhead door, 1 or 2 3' service doors,
several windows.

Should the stove be located toward the middle of the space to provide
an evenness to the heat distribution or should it be located close to
an exterior wall to facilitate a chimney pipe that is not 2 miles
long?

Decisions, decisions.....LOL

Any suggestions are 'preciated.

I didn't think anyone moved from Florida back North. Welcome the the
blue states!

If you haven't picked a specfic stove, last year I put a Jotul stove
in my shop. I replaced a cheapo used stove I found at a garage sale.
The Jotul is top notch, easy to install and I was able to get
temperatures of 600 degrees on it and it retain its heat almost
through the night. Really helped when I needed to do a glue up.


I'm going to get one. Will help with my lead casting.
Thanks,
Hank
