Rocket stoves are not normally meant for heating such spaces. Think of them kinda like a huge match on steroids - they burn very hot and very quickly.
There are designs that other people are dreaming up to make rocket stoves last a longer time....kind of a hybrid. And there are others that are meant solely for the purpose of providing long-lasting heat. These are called Rocket Mass Stoves, or Rocket Mass Heaters. They work by pumping LOTS of heat into a rock or cement or similar mass very quickly, that mass heats up, then gives off its heat over several hours. It sounds like a great idea, but.....there always has to be a 'but'! But, that heat often is not released quickly enough to keep the room warm. Might also be that the 'mass' cannot absorb all of the heat from the stove.
If you're looking to keep a shop warm (especially for 8 hours or more), I highly recommend dumping the idea of rocket stoves and going with something more traditional.
