We just got a few spits, it`ll be dry in no time. I`m waiting for rain so I can light up my burn pit full of tree branches but it's just too dry so I don't dare burn now. There's been a few bad prairie fires already this spring.

I certainly will if it doesn't rain but I don't burn when it's this dry. Also I`ve got most of my trees cleaned up so I won`t need to burn often. After another burn I could leave it it snows.

You have enough room to store the branches and burn in the winter..

Too bad you couldn't use it to heat your shop so you could finish your restorod

I hate to waste firewood but it would cost more than I`d save to convert to wood heat.

Just a little stove will put out a lot of heat and take the chill off. I did that when I was in my teens living at home working is an un insulated garage with only a 12 inch pot belly stove..

Anything I could use has to be approved for insurance purposes and not worth the cost.
