Garage Heating - Woodburner?

Anyone ever tried heating their garage with one of those woodburners you can get; seems a cheap way (after initial purchase) long as you're careful with location etc?

 

I considered using an oil burner, but on researching they were bloody expensive. I guess a wood burner could be ok with proper ventilation and lots of free wood

As long as you're not painting.

 

Where would (get it) you get your wood from Ducky. Ain't cheap , unless you own a small forest???

 

Just get an old CalorGas heater.

Cheap as chips on eBay / Gumtree etc and they don't cost much to run...

 

Yup I had one like the above, it was great got an electric storage heater type now which is shite!

 

Woodburners are excellent vfm. I have an open fire and i reckon i use nearly 75% more fuel than if i had a wood burner. ONly reason i have it open is coz its more cozy and for now ive got free timber......

 

I live next to a park, so plenty of old trees lying around.

 

I have a brand new electric tube heater if anyone wanted to buy it? 6ft long all it needs is new brackets to fit it to a wall as when i got it they were broken... £20?

 

i had a cast iron pot bellied stove heating my garage for awhile.. only issue is that it kicks out alot of heat and does for quite awhile , so alittle unsettling leaving it in the garage. had to damp the coals down before leaving... now i have a gas heater... easier to use.. but if you got good access to wood then brill idea if you can get a cheap woodburner..
