I keep our 1500 sq. ft. shop 60F all winter. It's nice to drive the Bobcat w/snowblower in
to dry out and grease, after doing the roads. I have to load the boiler once a day, when it's below zero for extended periods, but ususally once every two days the rest of the winter.
A stove is quite a bit more work, I keep the dry wood inside in the right hand bay behind the car trailer (see earlier photos), that bay is not heated but I don't have to go outside to get my wood. I fill the stove with wood at 8pm and get it going again with the left over coals again at 8 am...thru the day I add in wood as needed.
