So some of you may know that I am turning my turkey coop into a fur shed. I am insulating it... 100sq feet.
I was thinking about a wood stove cause my family has got plenty of wood. Any suggested brands or any sor sale.

Mine has a stove I made out of a 55 gallon drum. I bought the door and parts at TSC. I think the same parts work on a 30 gallon drum.

My stove would overheat 100 square feet. It gets hot.

A typical wood stove will be way to hot. You can damage delicate fur in an atmosphere like that.
If you insulate well a small electric heater might be your best solution.

A very small wood stove.

Natural gas or propane ventless heater

If it’s a 100 sq ft it will cost very little to use an electric heater and maintain a good temp to dry the fur.
A wood stove you would have to babysit way too often when that small

Market place and watch for a small wood stove .
Like stated a regular size one will cook you out , probably.

Find you a Franklin wood stove, I’ve used one in a small shop just fine.

Go with the ventless gas heater if you can. My shed is 230 sq. ft. I was all excited when I picked up a good logwood stove with a damper and some pipes at an auction for $5.00.
So much for my plan.

If you could find a junk camper you might be able to find a camper heater that will fit your situation.

From what I have seen of a wood stove in a small area, it is driving you out or you are adding wood. I do not care for a wood stove in that small a area. You build a fire in it and you are over heating by the time it gets started. I had one made out of a five gallon bucket and it was nothing but a pain. You may look at fish house heaters. I have a fuel oil fish house heater that I think would work good. It is a very simple drip system that you have to light. You adjust a petcock to control the heat.

Make sure you have a small fan to push the warm air around.

I have a 30,000BTU LP heater in my 29x29 garage that's insulated. It keeps the area at 65 or so.

I also have a box fan running when putting up fur.

Contrary to what some said I disagree on the ventless gas heaters. I had a vented gas heater that went bad and I switched to a ventless gas heater. Too much moisture inside for effectively drying decent amounts of fur in a cold climate in my opinion. I now have a vented gas one again and first dry faster again……coincidence? Plus the ventless ones are generally safe but they still kinda have a smell that I didn’t care for.

But, you had the best option in your question……WOOD STOVE! You won’t need much to heat that area, and you can always open a door or window if need be when you’re working.

Also, decent insulation to keep the heat in and not constantly heat heat heat. Happy trapping! ScottW

I went with electric baseboard heat and a digital thermostat and a ceiling fan to move air. Clean heat without the moisture from gas or propane, set and forget. Insulated so a match would heat the place.

Scott is right on target about a gas heater, and the same applies to kerosene. They put a lot of moisture in the air. A 100 sq ft is small, the size of an office cubicle (10' x10'). In a work space that small that is insulated, even in Wi a small electric htr is your best option IMO (and the opinion of others for good reasons given). Many are thermostatically controlled. The models that are oil filled and look like old radiators should give a more even heat.

After "building" 5 sheds in 30 years and using natural gas and propane, I really think electric is the best way if you are insulated and its that small. Depending on location, no pipes, no plumbers (maybe an electrician if you aren't comfortable), no permits, no change to insurance. Turn the switch on, raise or lower at will and fur dries faster. I have a 220 wall unit now that was cheaper than any gas appliance from my past.

i have a 220 electric in my garage it fully insulated and does not take much to keep it at 60 in there. its a 22 by 30 garage. i really like wood heat in the garage but home insurance says no go without crazy high premium so electric it is.

I have a 200+sq ft insulated room in the back of the garage as a fur shed. I heat it with a 1500w 120v electric heater It very seldom gets turned up over half way.

A wood stove will be fine,wont have to be too big.
Size of stove doesnt make much difference its the size of the fire in the stove.
A small space like that well insulated will only need a small fire to warm up and drive the damp out the shack .
Fur doesnt need heat to dry,If you make a small fire in there every day or two while you are skinning and stretching Your boarded fur will dry fine,just takes longer than if you have a steady source of heat.Make sure your pelts are scraped clean of all flesh and fat.This is necessary for cooler drying.
Better not to dry fur with steady heat anyway.Small fire to heat the shack then damp it down and add a couple sticks now and then while working in there.if it gets a bit warm open a window a crack.
You wont be able to handle and dry a lot of fur in a small space like that all at once regardless.
You might want to add a small cold room on to the end of the shack to store your bagged dried skins.

I'd go with electric heat. Set the thermostat and forget it. No messing with a stove all the time.
