Dear Ilene,
We have used ''kerosene'' or the verrsion now exclusivelty available here
called number #1 heating oil, marked as such by a color code.It became so
expensive in the last couple years that we are redoing insulation[beefing
up] solutions and have been advised to get a propane systrm by the
supplier.In the meantime, cutting a cubbie around the most needed areas and
insulating it and using heating[electric wrap cables] on pipes carrying
water and select containers, we will limit the use of fuel and power to
necessary usage.If you have windows, use the plastic shrinkable clear vinyl
on the inside following box directions and caulk cracks using the best
choice locally available at the hardware store for the rest and around doors
and elsewhere as needed.Wear layers of clothing, a warm hat and wool or
wool blend sox and use a ceramic ''cool to touch'' electric heater with
safety tip over feature for limited time use.Have a smoke and flame detector
and carbon monoxide detector in proper working order. in use.Warmed throwing
water is nice ,too.

Hey Guys,
I just put in a Jotul 602 woodburning stove in my garage after I insulated
over the large car doors with thick styrofoam sheets and insulated the walls
with fiberglass batting and covered them with sheetrock (plaster board). I
have not updated the door out the side or back so I am still getting some
fresh air and the window leaks quite a bit. However, I am staying toasty
warm thanks to my friend who has lots of wooded acreage and a gas powered
log splitter. My only expense was the stove and the special chimney pipe
out the roof of the garage. I also love the smell of wood burning being the
pyro I am and it gives me an extra added feeling of warmth to see the fire
inside the glass door of the stove. There is a steel cookplate on the top
for warming things like tea and hot dogs and beans for my dominutive
counterparts (children). Jotul has a website, I used the google search
engine to find it.
Good luck with it all.

Hi, Ilene,
I just had a 20 x 20 space insulated and drywalled with insulated
garage doors put in.
I happened to visit Lowe's to look at light fixtures and found these
wonderful tubular
shop lights with halegon lights at both ends covered with chrome
grills. They hang by
chains and are plug-in types. I bought 9 and have them installed in
the ceiling on hooks.
They not only provide great light, but produce heat as well.
I can go into the studio and switch them on and in no time, it's
toasty in there. They also
have pull chains, so that I can control the number that are on at one
time. Although the
bulbs are a bit pricey, they are supposed to last a really long time.

If you are able to run a gas line to your studio a "vent-thru-the-wall" heater is a good option. It's easy to install. I did mine. It doesn't use a blower so you don't have the problem with dust blowing around. I got mine at Sears in 1987 and I've never had a problem with it. It heats a 2 1/2 car garage that is insulated.

Ok all you "wood burners"--a question...
I was given a wood stove (meets code for Washington state) and was looking forward
to a toasty dry studio, until I started pricing the stovepipe! If I want to
install "to code" which I do since I'm insuring the barn the studio is in, I'm
looking at $180 per 2 ft section of 8" double walled pipe. Metalbestos is the
brand name, and I'm not finding any cheaper alternatives. Codes are quite specific
here in Washington, and to be "legal" I'm looking at close to $1600 for the pipe
and all the requisite parts! I have a very tall barn.
Does anyone know of a less expensive brand? or--has anyone explored building their
own insulated pipe and the cost of having a "home made" system inspected?
Thanks in advance!

Brian, you might check prices/availiability of a double walled stove pipe
called "AMERAVENT". Years ago it was cheaper than Metalbestos, and met
code here in Oregon. I haven't looked into it for a long time, so this
info is rather dated. I remember that Ameravent was said to burn cooler as
well. Good luck. I personally doubt than you can build a suitable double
walled stove pipe that will meet code, but worth looking into I suppose.
