$25k+ worth of hi efficiency wood boiler, plumbing, pumps, hot water storage tanks, & control computer system.

But, to be fair, it also heats the house and the old milkhouse where the well is. And all my hot water both in the house and in the milkhouse (now washup room since were not milkin cows)

The boiler itself is located in the shop, so waste heat from the boiler and piping will heat the shop alot. If more is needed, there's a hot-water to air heater in there as well.

I had a wood heater built from a old diesel tank off a rig. I used scrap oak 4x4s from work were we load trucks. It didnt me a penny and worked great.

Mr. Heater - America's Most Popular Portable Heaters

40* days, it's 70 in my garage in 5 minutes.

You use kerosene? or diesel?

Ive been looking at these ones and the propane ones. Propane isnt quite as convienant.
