The type of stove you would choose depends on whether you can get a deal on the fuel....got any farmer relatives in the corn growing buz? Pellet and corn stoves have a little auger that pushes fuel into the burner when necessary. Up in my corner of the world, lots of people use pellet stoves for heat.

I've looked into waste oil heaters but they are a little more maintenance and I'm not sure they are allowable in an attached garage. I'm pretty sure they are ok for use in a detached workshop building. Waste oil heating would be ideal for a guy who scrapped out cars since they have to drain the oils anyway.

Hope this helps,

The corn stoves seem to be mixed reviews on that and a bit more then I want to pay on those but that was a few years ago maybe they better now? Thanks its worth checking out lots of helpfull suggestions. I just dont want to break down stuff in basement seems too messy which iam with tearing down stuff. I just got to town then clean up.
