    Was in a place today using one of these, it works well, but they lined the lower half of it with firebrick, to protect the steel, as a previous one got too hot and buckled.

    The problem here is before its lined , its already narrow.
    After lining with firebricks I reckon the firebox could be reduced by up to 50%

    does secondhand insulation come up often? was it leftover excess?

    There is usually a Laois based Add, on DD for seconds and secondhand insulation.

    Insulation is definitely the first thing if possible. Makes a tremendous difference.

    My son has 2 small dimplex heaters in his insulated workshop. And they are on the low setting
    thermostatically controlled.

    AS the title says workshop heating.

    What do you guys have. At the moment I have an old small stove,
    thats not really doing the job for my large workshop.

    Its about 40'x30'. I am looking for an option thats cheap enough to run.
    I am considering a diesel/ kerosene heater, but not sure on its running costs.

    So I would appreciate your input lads and lassies.:)

    Thankyou,
    K.

    Kadman, unsure if you've come across this resource, as you descended down the rocket (stove) pipe.
    https://donkey32.proboards.com/

    Came across it on a Vortex Rocket stove YT video.
    Appears to be an immense rocket stove /RMH/ batchbox resource.
