The framing of my detached garage (shaped like a guest house) is nearing its completion and a big question looms overhead. How the heck should I heat it? Of course I could just throw a stove in there and heat it during its occassional use. The real problem is I dont know how often it will be occuppied and need heat. Heating another 2000 sq ft is not going to be an easy task. I'm not sure I want to deal with 2-3 stoves all winter. I think this dilema could be asily soved by an OWB. An OWB would ease my mind because I wouldnt have to worry about the house burning down - hmm maybe I should clean the chimneys this year. But I do like watching the fire and being close to my source of heat. I dont know, I just have a feeling that using an OWB to heat both will involve lots of wood. Heck, even the stoves will be using a good deal more wood than i use now. Maybe I shoudl just heat it with electric and see how that goes. Man, this is going to take some thinking and my brain hates me right now. Any suggestions?
