Yep, I built mine last fall, I only use it to heat my garage. I would check with your homeowners ins. though to see if you will be covered.

Well like anything else transfering heat to a fluid such as air, the key is surface area and controlling the flow over that surface area to creat turbulence so the coolest air is in contact with the hot surface as often and as long as possible...
Got a drawing of your stove design?

I have not built one but I am interested to see how it turns out for you. I would like to have one for my work shop in the garage. It would allow me to be able to spray paint and still have heat. Please keep us posted.
