If it is an attached garage, the wood burner (or any solid fuel heater)
is
against national fire code. On a detached garage, it is just not a good
idea and still may be against code. Go with the gas, put the scraps in
the
fireplace.



That's not what I recall, but then I guess one of us is wrong.

I now longer have the particulars but you can look it up. NFPA codes coer
it in two sections. Oil, gas, electric can be turned of. Solid fuels can
burnfor a dayor so after they are thought to be "out". Fumes from gasoline
can make the garage go "pooof".
