[TheForge] Re:wood burning heat.

[LrdThorolf at aol.com]

I saw the most ugly wood burning heater in my  life. It was and old  boiler 
type barrel  with  welded pipes going through it. It had a fan  blowing air 
through the pipes and heating up the work shop. They worked on heavy  equipment 
and it was nice and toasty  inside. For the chimney  they  had an old piece of 
12" Ductile iron  water main pipe inside a 24"  steel  pipe through the roof. 
I  could not see if there was any   insulation  between the pipes.  they were 
feeding it large chunks of  wood. from about 2 foot long and over  18" 
diameter.
 
I did not have a camera with me but will try to see if I can get over  there 
again to get pictures of it. Something similar to it could be made out  side 
and have the fan flowing air through the pipes and heating up the  shop.  
Probably even have it ducted into a existing ductwork to heat a  shop.
I  live in Michigan.

Life is not a  journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in 
a pretty and  well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly 
used up,  totally worn out, and loudly  proclaiming-
"WOW!! What a  Ride!"
