Rick I don"t know where you are at but I (am in Southern, Alberta, Canada) was in the same situation 3 years ago new shop 40X80 Arch style w/16ft ceiling. So I did this built a wall at 50 ft which made 40X30 storage and 40x50 shop, put 14x20ft O/H insulated door, R-20 insulation, good vapour barrier sealed and taped all jounts around electrical boxes etc. To heat I used a Magnum Grain stove (Country side Model) (It is a direct vent sealed unit(uses its own combustion air from outside) I have been burning Rye (cheap) in it for past 2 + yrs its burns about 50 lbs/24hrs when -30F it easily maintains 50F inside on -30F days Right now its getting to 20F @ night and 40F during day I burn 50 lb every 36hrs I move equipment in and out once or twice during days its recovery time is not to bad 1/2 hr or so. I also put 4 ceiling fans in to move air. I made provisions to put a O/H Radiant heater in just in case stove won"t keep up (so far I don"t think I will need it) Grain stove does need to be filled every 24-36 hr and ash dumped out once a week and occasional cleaning But I have the grain readily accessable and I am in my shop almost every day and have had it go out and it takes about 3 days of -30F before it drops below 40F inside. WE have a grain stove in the house as well its on from October till April between the 2 stoves last season I think we burned about 180 Bushel of rye (50-52 lbs per bushel) Hope this gives you some ideas Cheers Dave Fisher
