I upgraded to a woodstove this winter. Yeah, its more work, you cut it, haul it, and I wouldn't really consider it any more dangerous than what you have. I have plenty of access to firewood so that's why I went with the woodstove. Many heaters use an open flame...enough heat will light something on fire! You just put yours in the attic, which is a good idea but can still cause a fire if something malfunctioned. I like the idea of more shop space though.

its a hot air oil fired furnace,i turn the main power on and set the thermostat to 68 and im good to go. 15 minutes later im in a t shirt working on stuff,previous owners had wood stoves and took them with them when i bought my house. hardest part of the install was getting it in the attic by myself,good thing i have a chain hoist hooked to the rafters.fuel here is around 3.00 a gallon or so,i have a 15 gallon tank that lasts several days to a week depending.

Heat my shop with a radiator.
Ran an underground line from wood fired gasification boiler in basement out to the garage. We built log home some 30 yrs ago and installed solar hot water, oil burner and the gasification boiler. Heats two story 2000 sq ft gambrel style home from Nov1 - April 15th on 3 - 3 1/2 cords of wood from our own woodlot. Oil burner never comes on when using the wood boiler. After adding the "shop zone," wood consumption is at 4 cords. Shop is 1/3rd of three car garage, walled off from garage with own entrance. Use to use 100,000 BTU LP furnace to heat garage, or shop, depending on which way thru the wall vent was positioned. Now furnace is just used for garage, when needed. Garage portion is two story, shop is one story, whole building is also gambrel style log building. Ceiling in shop is insulated also. Keeps shop at nice 50-55, even when outside temps are 0 degrees. When going out to work, just turn up thermostat and quickly heats right up to 65 or so. Any higher and it's uncomfortable working. So I guess basically I heat for free since I always cut 4 1/2 - 5 cords a year anyway. MikeC

I have a Whitfield pullet stove since 1998 heating my basement, he cost me $6 per day normally, but with the crazy artic weather we encounter this week(-40 F) he burn 2 bags per day ($12). Pullet stove produce lot of dust! I mod the air blower motor on mine adding an air filter. It's an efficient way to heat but I wonder if a small NG furnace may cost less to run.

I have a 120,000 btu oil fired gun type furnance in my shop. Shop is 32x24 detached from the house. When I leave for the day, I turn the thermostat down to 40, next day it takes only a few minutes to warm up to 70. My shop also has a 30,000 btu window air conditioner. works great at removing the humity and cooling the shop durning the summer.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
