Winter is nigh, looking for a coal/wood stove for shed

[zardoz]

Has anyone within 40 mile of Chester, got a wood/coal fired stove they no longer need and wish to part with. I started my Rover P6 restoration too late and now face welding bits on it through October November and probably beyond. So i need a warm stove to revive me every half hour or so? Anything will do as long as it works.
cheers. zardoz

Lots of discussion going on about making your own from a gas bottle at the mo. Go on Zardoz, you know you want to.

Hi guys

I apreciate you need a heater now, but as the cost of gas has now doubled since last year I have had to abandon my gas heater and an in the process of designing and building a gasifying wood boiler to heat my workshop, reason for a boiler and rad system is not to invalidate my insurance, ridiculous they allow me to weld and grind in the shop but am allowed no open flame heating devices... huh.
Anyway if anyone is interested let me know and I will post pics as project progresses.
