[Spridgets] Heating the LBC workshop

[uniquelittlecars at yahoo.com]

This is very true. The single barrel from what i had heard when i was looking. Are not very good for heating. That is why a suggested a cast iron. As some one said it radiates heat well. Very efficient. He burns Tamarack - or other hard word He uses it in the winter to heat a two car shop. In the summer he stores the cast iron unit and some of the pipe and uses the vent for other uses. Works for him any way.

If you install the second barrel, it will increase the efficiency of the
stove and allow you to throttle it back more and not have to fill it as
often.
