Picked this bad boy up today. It may scream 70s chalet but it should keep the shop warm. It even sorta matches my black with maroon trim tool box. I still have to gather up the chimney parts so it may be spring before I totally get it installed

Its approved for a mobile home so it can sit a little closer to the wall. I just need to figure out the best way to store my flammable chemicals beside it!

Flammable chemicals are perfectly acceptable to store near a fireplace in a mobile home, especially one decorated in a post-modern hippie-esque motif!
I was working on a gas station last week that's getting a new convenience store installed. The next door neighbor had a detached garage. One of the windows was filled with bricks and there was a rusty smoke pipe sticking straight out. Smoke was chugging out of the end of the pipe. This lasted all day until the towns building inspector came by to look at my underground work. When I left, there were several police cars and a couple of fire trucks in the street. Only Massachusetts would get so worked up about a perfectly acceptable redneck garage heater.
Ive seen some scary chimneys people have cobbled together for their garage stoves. When you price out the pipe its easy to see the temptation.

So its cool to keep the gas in cereal bowls by the stove so it dont freeze?
Nice stove. That should keep the shop toasty.
looks like it takes up a lot of valuable floor space.
