Gordo, In order to suck air in, you need a place where air can escape. This shop is very well insulated and well enveloped with Tyvec. The overhead doors have what are known here as Artic seals on the outside. I have been a building contractor and have installed lots of heating systems and the rule of thumb is to place heating equipment under windows and on exterior walls. The unit heater in the pic also pushes air across the boiler picking up heat from it and distributing it further back in the shop to the rear where a ceiling fan pushes the warmer air back down to the floor, and then it circulates back to the front where it is reheated. My shop floors range from 56F towards the front to 62F without the benifit of radiant heat, which would have been in there if I knew back in 88, when I built the shop, what I know now. In 89, I took out our old forced air system with home built wood add-on in the main house and installed an oil boiler and retrofitted radiant under floor heat in the main house and subsequent additions that we built on since. Back then I was too busy and the wife was working and wood heat wasn't practical, other than an air tight "Fireplace Extrordinair" that I built centrally in the house. I installed my dad's Royall wood/coal boiler pictured in the shop 3 years ago after his passing, and my retirement. The Royall wood boiler back feeds the oil fired boiler in my basement, but the OB hasn't run in the last 4 years other than to make sure it will, if something happens to me. Loren
