SEnsible / safe heating for workshop (aka the garage)

[garethharvey]

I have one of these, it's great, burns offcuts as well as everything from my extractor:

That looks absolutely brilliant. Do you get any problems with moisture in the workshop - I a bit worried about the stock to being affected by the warm days and cold nights!

I like my caravan/boat oil fired heater which I've fitted in my garage workshop. The combustor draws from and exhausts to outside - no explosion or condensation issues. A "mini-split" type heat pump unit is the ultimate in my view (electric and about 3x as efficient as resistive heating) but not cheap to buy.

I've got a similar one to the ebay one. they are really heavy duty and weighty. mine was an experiment I believe its front loading and specifically for sawdust . it also has a heating coil in the top if you wanted to run rads. it's good with sawdust but is only good during spring or autumn as it doesnt make enough heat. during winter its logs and wood.
the welder next door has made a waste oil burner....definitely dangerous.
