I know I'm a little late ........ for this year, but .........

I really have a good supply of juniper wood. Burns really hot. I want to
set up a heat stove or two in my shop for next winter. How many here use
wood heat for shop use?

I got out the Coleman Buddy stove the other day, and fired it up. Really
warmed the place up, but I started feeling weird. I don't have a digital CO
monitor, so don't know how much CO it was giving off. I still really don't
want to spend a lot of $$$ on propane when I have free wood.

Get the CO monitor anyway.

I would like to make a system that pulls outside air for combustion, and
just heats the room without using room air to run the stove.

Look into "Thermal Mass" stoves. Basically, your firebox heats
rocks (or bricks), the air traveling over/through the bricks heats
you. "The Sunstone Superstove" is a good book on DIY, and a step by
step means of making one. It is A Project.

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the
question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers
does it take to change a lightbulb.
