The Wood Burning Forced Air Garage Heater – Heavy Duty Shop Heater is built to warm workspaces quickly and consistently. Because it uses thick 1/8″ steel, the unit holds heat well and stands up to daily use in garages, shops, barns, and industrial environments. As a result, you get a dependable heating solution that performs through long winter seasons.

You’ll notice how efficiently the system moves warm air. A two‑speed squirrel cage blower pushes heat through the front duct, helping distribute warmth across your workspace. Since the blower offers both high and low settings, you can adjust airflow based on room size or comfort level. This forced‑air design moves heat smoothly, making it ideal for large or drafty areas.

The firebox is built for long burn cycles. A durable 1″ × 1/4″ angle iron grate supports the wood load and allows air to move underneath the fire. Because the unit includes a pull‑out ash pan, cleanup stays quick and simple. The heavy steel body helps maintain temperature, which improves burn quality and overall heat output.

Durability is a major part of the design. The entire unit is professionally powder coated for corrosion resistance and long‑term protection. With a weight of 230 lbs, the system stays stable during use and handles repeated heat cycles without losing performance. The layout supports traditional wood‑burning heat while adding the efficiency of forced‑air circulation.

The equipment arrives with everything needed for setup. It includes a new squirrel cage blower fan, a rubber fan gasket, mounting hardware, and a 90° elbow to help direct airflow. Because the system is built for real‑world work environments, it’s a strong choice for mechanics, fabricators, woodworkers, and anyone who needs reliable warmth in a cold shop.

If you want a heating solution that blends rugged construction, strong airflow, and long burn times, this wood‑burning forced‑air system delivers exactly that. It’s tough, efficient, and built to keep your workspace comfortable all season.
