I've a spare gas bottle that the valve has been removed ages ago (and flushed out / left upside down) to make a stove to have under the carport. It's going to be "multi fuel" in that it'll burn coal as well as wood. No problem with the actual design of that as plenty of details about that available already.
Seeing carport is between house and garage I'm thinking of making some sort of way of directing some of the heat into the garage.
Two methods come to mind - hot air from some sort of heat exchanger that has fan to blow it into the garage or another 4kg gas bottle on top of the large item that can be filled with water and that then fed into a rad in the garage.
I don't expect massive amount of heat transfer but anything in winter would be nice
Any ideas, comments, views etc on routing heat from stove under carport to garage ?
Cheers.
