Im looking at options for heating a 20x30 un-insulated garage this winter and ran across the rocket mass heater or rocket stove option.
Seems like it could be an efficient option for a garage or work shop, only using a fraction of the wood that a traditional wood stove uses.

Has anyone ever heard of this type of wood stove?
 
I did some reading after seeing this. Never heard of such a thing. It took me a minute to get it and really understand how it works. Pretty awesome and with a pretty broad range of designs and build options it's almost limitless.

You could build one yourself and make your "thermo mass" a big work bench along the back or side wall. Put a piece of steel on top and bam, you got a work bench that you can weld on, have a vise, ect and its heating your shop. I like the idea of this thing and will be learning some more about it myself now that I know about it.
