we can work in the shop comfortable with all the doors open. At times we need to open them to let heat out. Cost for coal last year was a little over $400. We also have oil heat in the shop its two stories with a man cave upstairs. Haven't bought oil in two years since the install of the coal stove downstairs , It never comes on. 3-4 shovels every 6-8 hrs
I have three more of these stoves from the 40's if anyone wants to install one. One of them is half the size.We made the new surround out of stainless. hot air comes out the top pipe . smoke comes out the back through the wall. The last picture is the stove when we bought it from a warehouse.
Anything you put in these stove's turns to ashes. I have seen these stoves in shops where guys hook up drain oil containers hanging on the walls such as motorcycle tanks and drip oil into a tray inside.
Very versatile heater burn what you have on hand. Just a thought for country shops . I am 65 and always had one of these since my 20's. Finally talked my son into one. You can hook more insulated pipes up and blow heat into other buildings if you want. The fan is in the pipe on the wall seen on the forth picture.
