how well would a 55 gallon drum ware?

would i be replacing them often,or would i be good burning wood only in them for a few years?

 

 

basically can you show me the pros or cons of heating my 2 1/2 car garage this way?

 

garage is made of brick

We used one of these in the cabin in minnesota. The barrel will die like every 3 years, my dad just had one made from 1/4 plate and I think it will last forever. Plus, once it gets warm it heats forever.

 

hydronic radiant floor is your best solution.
