I live in southwestern Ohio and have a 24'x36'x12' pole barn that I will soon be insulating with R-19 and R-38 in the walls and ceiling respectively. I have an opportunity to purchase a brand new US Stove 2500 wood burning stove from a friend for about a third of the cost of a new unit ($500). He also has some triple wall and black piping to go along with the unit. I have NG ran to the building and have intentions on putting in a NG forced air heater once insulated, but what are everyone's thoughts on wood heat? I thought maybe I could install this wood stove and use it while I'm in there working and use the NG heater when I'm away to keep it at a constant temperature in the winter. Any thought, suggestions? Thanks in advance.
