Here in the UK stoves fitted into residences should be installed to HETAS. stds but unless it is one of those posh sheds where guests can sleep the rules are less stringent,though you do have to be sensible so it pays to follow the guidelines anyway especially with clearances to combustible materials. But in a shed you dont have to spend 100s on an approved stove ,many a DIY stove has been made from a bit of large diameter steel pipe and some metal sheet or there are unapproved stoves sold for about £50 on eBay. You can make one from a propane bottle, I may someday but it is summer here and I won't think of it till winter when it is too late I can't say I'd enjoy the prospect of cutting into a propane bottle. Easy peasy and safe as houses. numerous ways, fill with water and angle grind or if you have CO2 same thing. And if you leave a bit of propane in it? |
