Greenheart 1 workshop stove

Barry Smith 15 years ago

I'm a woodturner and have a workshop which is about 8' long, 7' wide and 7' high. The only by-product of woodturning is wood!- sawdust, shavings, trimmings, etc. So a stove designed to burn all these waste products was very attractive. Cheap to buy, free to run, easy to install - perfect! I bought mine during the winter and couldn't believe the speed and quantity of heat produced. So much so that I made a damper to fit in the chimney so that I could better control the heat output. The finer the fuel, the faster the stove consumes it so if I'm planning a long session I burn large pieces - a short session, shavings and dust. I have no experience of any similar stove but this one does all I want of it - so on this basis I'd recommend it.
