wood burning question

diymirage said
hey guys,

i got a 8X8 shed that me and the kids camps out in occasionally
i have electric in it but im thinking of getting a little wood burning stove for it...mostly for ambiance and feel of it

the one im looking at is 26 inches tall, 20 wide and 22 deep

im not worried about the size of it, im sure it will heat that shed up like nobodies business BUT i am wondering how often i would have to get up at night to throw a few more logs in the fire

so, whats you guy's experience here?

is this a good idea ?

If it's an air tight stove the wood should last all night easily. That's a lot of stove for that space. Try keep it heating as low as possible. Heating that way can build up a lot of carbon in the stack. If the stack goes straight through the roof with out any bends that will help a lot to keep the build up down in the pipes.
