There used to be an oil heater in the garage that has become part of my
shop.  It was a happy day when I got the stovepipe removed and the hole
shingled over.  I don't like interruptions in the roof if I can avoid them,
and I don't think much of extra interruptions of the ceiling and insulation,
either.

>I will begin researching the local codes,

The first thing you may find is that wood heat in a car shop is prohibited.
It is where I live.

If this is really a woodworking shop or something else, please disregard.
I'm pretty car-centric.  :-)

BTW, I use a through-the-wall natural-gas furnace in my car shop and I
couldn't be happier.  I keep it at 50 degrees all winter.  I find that once
I actually start WORKING on something, 50 is usually enough.  I have good
insulation on a 20x30 space and it seems to cost near nothing to heat it.
In my town, electric heat would have eaten me alive for cost.
