Got a home built wood burner in my workshop, made it from barrels & a steel telegraph pole. Not pretty if you have neighbours but very locost!
Got plenty forestry around here & the waste wood left behind when harvesting would keep us all warm.
The roof & 2 of the walls are insulated too.

indeed woodburner with kettle function for melting frozen beercans, would be the awnser. I build my whole car that way never felt cold, but that was insulated good,
now moved house and have a garage on the first floor with connection to house heating system, ahhhhhhh so nice

You can burn waste oil on a pot belly, just light it and get it warm with coal, wood etc then drop in a steel plate and drip feed waste oil onto it when its hot . Use a piece of fuel hose with an adjustable pipe clamp to regulate flowand a piece of steel pipe into top of stove. .
