I have built a new 30x52 pole building and am considering a wood stove for heat. I have a good friend that tells me a double barrel stove puts off great heat for a pole building and would be cheap to build.. I'm concerned about safety and how high the the pipe has to be run outside. I am looking at three options, wood, pellet and coal. I have the ability to get all the wood I need for free from state wildlife land. I was told that if it's down I can have it all. I just need to cut it and remove it. Hardwood pellets in my area of Delaware are running 225 a ton. I have been told that coal puts out the highest BTU's of all three and I'm not far from the area in P.A. where I can get anthracite cheap bagged buy the ton. I know that folks here must use these three types of fuel so how about some feedback. My building has insulation on the walls and I'm in the process of putting 2inch poly iso aluminum backed both side in the ceiling. 28' section is 15"11' to the peak and 24" is 12" to the bottom of the truses. Any thoughts you can give wil be helpful. Thank's Scaper
