Just inherited a semi-derelict 12'0" X 8'0" greenhouse. After doing the repairs needed I think a little bit of heat may be in order!
I would anticipate heating it from Feb to end of April (3 months per year) plus any time it was a bit chilly!
Greenhouse is on a lottie, so I can't use electric. It is quite big to heat with paraffin and would be cost prohibitive. Like wise with propane.
I fancy being nice and snug while I am working in it so am toying with a pot bellied stove like the one below.

I know I will have extras to source like flue etc but a trip to the local scrapyard should sort that out. I have my own welding gear and engineering experience so can't forsee too many problems! (famous last words!).
Thought I would use scrap wood to give a bit of heat while I am in greenhouse but bank it up with coal for overnight use!
Any ideas/recommendations, especially from stove users would be beneficial!
PS Should be able to make a brew on it as well!
