One problem with using wood stoves in your shop is it may invalidate your insurance.  My neighbor had to raise his shop stove on a pedestal and install special insulation and stovepipes before his insurance could be reinstated!

I have used double barrel stoves for heat in my shop for thirty years now.

 

I put a piece of sheet metal in the top barrel -- need one with a removal lid--

 

and it goes from the back to 6 or 8 inches from the front and that way get way

 

more heat out of the stove.  You need a damper in the stove pipe above the

 

top barrel and you should use one of those magnetic stick on chimney

 

thermometer.
