I would stay away from those products as they are an accident just waiting to happen. Just install a wood heater and put some computer fans on it to distribute the air around.
I've got an old schooner wood heater in my shed with a few computer fans and when it's 5C outside I;m toasty warm the shed.
Cheers Bryan

PM me if you want to talk about these fires.... Here is an "eco-smart Glow" on our tasting bar.

How much juice do they chew through an hour (roughly) Doc and what sort of heat do they throw out?
Also, if you burn tails does your shed smell like wet cardboard? :))
