Hi. I'm looking for some advice on heating my pole barn (workshop/garage). I live in SouthWest Michigan, so temperatures can get quite cold in the winter (although temps have certainly changed since I was a kid!). We recently built a pole barn that will double as a garage/workshop, and I'm determining what would be best for a heating solution. Wood is cheap, but I don't want to have to go out and start a fire every time I want to work in the barn. I don't mean to sound lazy, but I'm just getting older and want to try and make it as simple as possible. I was wondering about a pellet/wood hybrid system, where I could connect a Nest or Ecobee thermostat and have the burner get started with pellets, and then switch to wood when I go out to the barn. I'd appreciate any thoughts or experiences. Thank you!
