Ray,

You could move to Phoenix Az. It's 110'f right now and it cools down to 95'f in the evening!! lol!!! :cheers:

Insulation is a great investment and will keep your heat in and the cold out. Also dual pane windows, spend the extra $$$ up front to save later on!!

I was going to suggest Texas. We're on a streak of +100* days.

Anything over 98 is just splitting hairs :rofl:

No danger of me moving to Texas anytime soon. Tn maybe.... I'd definitely like to visit though. What is Fort Worth really like?

Right now I'm in design and build mode. I have been looking for a source of those wood pellets here in Shropshire but can't find a single supplier. They sound like they could be the ideal solution as long as they are cheap enough. Apparently you can build a kind of hopper on the end of your building so you never need go outside to get fuel. Now that sounds like my ideal arrangement!

You can't turn the fire off when you are glueing though... Hmmmm, more thought needed here.

I bet these people would know where to get the pellets locally: http://www.clearviewstoves.com/wheretobuy.htm.

They must be practically on your doorstep!

Since your still in the design phase, might I suggest putting windows facing south to capture the solar heat. My father had a shop and he heated it with a propane furnace. Heated up quickly. If you're going timberframe, get a ceiling fan to direct the warm air back down.

Ray, my shop is not that big, 18x20 feet. All the space is required. We did have a wood stove for a couple years and it was good. But it toke up so much space.... I got an electric heater that hangs from the ceiling. Runs on 220 volts, has a fan built in, with a thermostat. Works great, takes up no floor space and it's clean. Doesn't make alot of noise. always keeps the place warm. I hardly noticed it on the heating bill.
