Wood stove in shed

merc_man · Nov 26, 2017

I would would like to mabe one day put a stove in the shed i am building. Its 12x12.
My only concern is i keep some equipment in it with fuel in them like atv push mower and blower. My fuel cans are stored in a metal cabinet out side shed.

Do any of you have a stove in smaller shed with equipment in it. Mabe even some pics of your setup.

So whats your thoughts.

Had one in my garage (stand alone), insurance company sent a rep to inspect OWB and asked me to remove it and send pictures of it removed or would cancel my policy.

Thats what i wondered about too.
Ill probly just heat it with my propane t7be heater.
I already have the wood stove. Its my smaller one i used to have in the house.
Ill just pack it away as a spare.
Or i should just sell it. Lol

And I know this sounds lame but I have some heat lamps above my bench that keeps my hands pretty warm.

I have a wood stove in my garage, all saws are set about 15 feet from the stove. Shop still here so far. haha

Might wanna check out the minimum clearances and chimney building codes. I looked into it for my shop and a wood stove is gonna take up a pile of space plus a chimney is gonna be really pricey. Then you have to have it inspected and wett certified. Even then your insurance company still might not like it.

I have one. It’s only lit if I’m here. Obviously no need to burn it super hot. It’s fine

Interesting.
I had a wood stove in my shed. The shed burned down, not caused by the stove. My insurance company didn't say a word. They paid the claim in full.
I know they saw the stove, it was the only recognizable thing left.
When they did the original inspection of the property, 1997, the stove was there and in operation.

I have a woodburner in my garage, only use it when I'm in the garage. I've heard of many more buildings burning down from battery chargers than woodburners. Mine gets a new pipe every winter. Been using it for close to 30 years now.

And don't forget air compressors. I unplug mine every time I leave my shop.

I switch mine off at the breaker... had a hose go bad once, so it's off unless I'm in there.
