Use of Wood Burning Stove that is self-enclosed. This is what my wife's
parents use in the house/garage in northern part of United States. They
have an enclosure that not only protects the surrounding from any sparks but
even the exhaust pipes are insulated from nearby objects from catching fire
or melting.
The stove will actually produced the heat by radiating or a small blower
fan.

What about a kerosene heater, the kind that blow heat out the end?
As an example, http://www.heatershop.com/top_sellers.html
Found on web, not an endorsement...
These have to be safer than a wood stove..

Pun intended...
Small background facts... and yes this is Dakota related.
Moved fron $hitcago to Wisc... its cold here, not a problem.
I have a detatched 2 car garage/work shop I fondly named The Swamp
Its half insulated... and has a wood burning stove. Hers where I need
advice. I got into a exchange of opinions with the family back in
Shitcago... they say I am going to blow myself up with a wood burning
stove in the same garage as my 4x4 Dak. My thinking was that the
gasoline is (fairly) safe, being contained in the trucks gas tank with
the cap on nice and tight. To my knowledge - and I was just under the
truck the other day - there are no leaks in the tank. Its 2/4 full.
The fire is pretty much out right now, as I am in the house for the
night... but I am wondering - just how safe AM I with that set of
conditions? I don't want to blow myself up... or worse burn down my
garage and truck heheh :)
I know there is risk... but as long as the gasoline is contained ???
.... Well I'm here asking for opinions. I really need to be able to
work on that truck in the winter months. I can't lose the next 5 months
waiting for it to warm up. I suppose my only option would be to drain
the fuel from the tank correct?
How do you heat a garage safely? Its detatched - so there is no way to
hook it into heating system of the house (baseboard radiators). I have
a pair of 1500 watt oil filled electric radiators - but they don't give
off enough heat and pull 3000 watts with them both on. What can I do?
