Hey folks. I'm moving into my new house ( and shop) next week. I am a bit
concerned about the setup in my shop however. There is a woodstove for heat, and I do not have a dust collection setup. Am I looking at a fire hazard here? |

On the other hand, wood stoves and wood shops have peacefully coexisted for
hundreds of years. Dust explosions in the air require incredibly high dust concentrations. The dust levels are so high breathing would not be possible. I had a stove in my shop for many years. A few simple rules: Do not run the stove hard (hot) if you are not there watching it, Clean the stack annually and follow code for installation. Dave "Doug Miller" wrote in message .com...

As far as fire hazards, with reasonable caution and good house keeping, not
particularly. Now if you are talking trouble with finishes, glues, possibly rust and if you live somewhere where the shop will go below freezing regularly you'd best be thinking about what to do with them. For the most part they don't fair well at low temperatures. Also keep in mind that if you crank up the woodstove and shop is warm and toasty it doesn't mean the various items and liquids in the shop have reached good working temperatures.

This has been debunked many times and a simple google search will reveal ample converstion on this very topic. Your woodshop will not generate the concentration of particulates necessary for combustion. Woodstoves, open pilot light furnaces, etc. exist in woodshops all over the place and there are just no substantiating cases of fires, explosions, etc. If this were truely a problem, you'd be at equal risk from the spark that occurs everytime you throw a common household light switch in the garage. Those that continue to advocate that a woodstove can be a source of explosion due to airborne dust seem to overlook that little spark that eminates from their light switch. -- -Mike- |

I thought seriously about a woodstove in my shop a few years ago. I have a good friend who runs ye olde basic woodstove, cleans the flue when he remembers (not often), knocks the dust off the top when he lights the stove, has a pretty close to code set-up, and has never had a single problem. It sometimes makes me nervous. I know another guy, nice guy but I don't know him well enough to call him a friend. Interviewed James for Woodshop News some years ago and discovered his shop had wood heat. You'd never know it: The stove is in the basement, almost totally separate from the woodworking area. He is in the shop ever day, follows every known care, and has never had a single problem. You figure it out. I put in an electric furnace, free from a local HVAC dealer who had pulled it out as he installed a completely new set-up for someone (this is common, and sometimes the dealers have to pay to get rid of the stuff, so at least check it out).

Am I looking at a fire hazard here? No more than any other kind of direct heat. Gas, oil, or electric all provide ignition sources. If you want to be completely safe from the risk of having your heating system ignite the dust then you have to go with steam or hot water or a heat pump without backup (regular electric heat uses a red-hot filament, heat pumps don't get much if any any hotter than the backside of an air conditioner). Do keep the dust swept up, especially in the immediate vicinity of the stove. -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

You bring up a very good point here Mike. The front part of my shop is a
separate room, and I saw thinking of using it as a finishing room. I think an electric heater is the way to go for that part of the shop to keep finishes from freezing. excellent point.

One big caution. Wood stoves may be cool because it has not been burned for a day, but the can still be a hot coal or two under the ashes. You may think you are safe and start using a solvent based finish and BOOM ! ! ! If you are using a kerosene or propane heater you know the flame is out. Wood or coal, not so. FWIW, solid fueled heaters are not allowed (National Fire Code) in garages attached to a house. You may have other local code issues. Ed |

I recently read about storing finishes in a cabinet with a 60W bulb and
a thermostat to keep them at a stable temperature. This would seem to be a much more economical solution than using an electric heater to keep the whole finishing area warm. -Rick js wrote: You bring up a very good point here Mike.

To see how our perception on hazard has changed over time Watch the
1890's house the next time it is on PBS. After restoring the house to the condition its was in 1890 and with the 1890 appliances, they had a very difficult time in getting the regulator to permit people to live today with those items. For combustion to occur the combustible to air ratio has to be in very tight limits. Mike Marlow wrote: Doug Miller wrote: In article , "js" wrote: Hey folks.

Glad I could help.
Back when I lived in Montana my shop was heated with a wood stove but had no separate room. I just made up a box large enough to carry the glue and finishes and kept it in the heated bunk house till the shop reached a reasonable temperature. A pain but it worked. Of course when the last of the kids moved out the bunk house became the shop. Much nicer. Good luck. -- Mike G. Heirloom Woods www.heirloom-woods.net "js" wrote in message ...

Care should be taken to keep the area around the stove, and the stove itself, clean. I have an oil-fired furnace in my shop right now, complete with internal open flame.

BS. Before I ever got a DC, I hqd dust flying from my TS, Router and
plqner while I was heating the shop with a woodburning stove. The dust consintration is not high enough to cause an explosion or spntainous combustion. IF the dust consintration ever got high enough to create a fire by spontainous combustion, you would not want to be in the room. AND IF YOU WERE NOT IN THE ROOM, NO DUST WOUKD BE MADE,.

I'm moving into my new house ( and shop) next week. I am a bit concerned about the setup in my shop however. There is a woodstove for heat, and I do not have a dust collection setup. Am I looking at a fire hazard here? Yes. And you might be, even *with* a dust collection system, because of fine airborne dust that comes through the filters or is never collected in the first place (dust collection systems are not 100% effective). Best solution is to have the woodshop and the wood stove in different rooms. -- Regards, =A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0Do ug Miller (alphageek-at-milmac-dot-com) For a copy of my TrollFilter for NewsProxy/Nfilter, send email to autoresponder at filterinfo-at-milmac-dot-com You must use your REAL email address to get a response. -- Woody Check out my Web Page at: http://community-1.webtv.net/Woodwor...workerJoesInfo Where you will find: ******** How My Shop Works ******** 5-21-03 * * * Build a $20 DC Separator Can Lid. 1-14-03 * * * DC Relay Box Building Plans. 1-14-03 * * * The Bad Air Your Breath Everyday.1-14-03 * * * What is a Real Woodworker? 2-8-03 * * * Murphy's Woodworking Definitions. 2-8-03 * * * Murphy's Woodworking Laws. 4-6-03 * * * What is the true meaning of life? 1-14-03 * * * Woodworker Shop Signs. 2-8-03 |

Nope, they're self-installing, but you've got to align them to north (of course) before setting 'em. Deal killer. I'm moving back to Virginia where everything has to be aligned to the south.
