Simply stack your chimey to the outside and let
it use internal air to
supply it. Few shops are tight enough to
prevent enough O2 in to keep it
burning well.

Ive been burning cut wood scraps from an old
building that I tore
down..well..cut down with a chain saw

good deal. you may not need it in your mild
climate, but adding a heat
exchanger wood pun give you 50% more heat. A
word of warning, the
more heat exchanger you have the dryer your wood
has to be. You need
to run the fire hotter too. I know of a guy that
puts a pint of used
motor oil in a quart oil bottle and toss it in
the fire, burns REAL
hot.

The old fashioned way was to run the stove pipe
across the room before
you connect up to the chimney. Put a bit of a
slope on it (low end -
stove).

So the liquid creosote will run back into the
stove? ;)}
This trick works with coal, not wood.
