Hi,
I heat my basement shop with wood. The woodstove came from Navy City
Metals in Gorst ie cheap. Last year I burned a lot of scrap wood from a
wood shop. The wood was nice and dry. It did need to be cut shorter
to fit the stove and one did have to watch for nails. But the price is
right. Now one can only install a certified stove so useable wood
stoves are harder to find and more expensive to buy.

I don't think you should use wood as your only source of heat. It is
not economical when you consider the time it costs you. But I would
sure recommend it over no heat at all and if you generate any wood
scrap it will help you get rid of it.

Cost is a factor for me.

Thanks,
