Found this on the web,might be something to think about for next winter. http://www.electricrailroad.com/Stove/Stove.html Its a home-made barrel stove.Definitely done on the"cheep".I think if you spent alittle money, you could make a real nice one.
Well we had 7in. snow blow in today just to piss off the Irish for their parade tomarrow, so it kind of came back to mind.
I am thinking about a/c for my shop. probably use couple of heat pumps so I can heat and cool the place
