>2. What is the preferred method to exhaust the stove. Straight up through
the

There used to be an oil heater in the garage that has become part of my
shop. It was a happy day when I got the stovepipe removed and the hole
shingled over. I don't like interruptions in the roof if I can avoid them,
and I don't think much of extra interruptions of the ceiling and insulation,
either.
>I will begin researching the local codes,
The first thing you may find is that wood heat in a car shop is prohibited.
It is where I live.
If this is really a woodworking shop or something else, please disregard.
I'm pretty car-centric. :-)
BTW, I use a through-the-wall natural-gas furnace in my car shop and I
couldn't be happier. I keep it at 50 degrees all winter. I find that once
I actually start WORKING on something, 50 is usually enough. I have good
insulation on a 20x30 space and it seems to cost near nothing to heat it.
In my town, electric heat would have eaten me alive for cost.
