I came across a shed today, 8x6m, brick built, with a slate roof, and a

It was seperate from the house, by a distance of about 8m.
Enthusiastic woodworkers often burn offcuts to keep their workshops
warmer in winter. Brick built stack is a bit OTT but if they are
building the rest out of bricks, they might choose to use all bricks.

This shed had a slate roof so was either very old, or as you say built
by an enthusiast.
My 30 sqm workshop has a slate roof over concrete blocks clad with
timber mainly for appearance. No heating needed as it is very well
insulated and comfortable to work in all year round.
I think I fit into the "enthusiast" group too or maybe that is OCD?
