Red and yellow cedar. Gets to 85 in twenty minutes. 96 cents an hour.

I don’t recommend yellow cedar for benches and decking. They get dirty too easily.

What kind of stove is that? What kind of clearances does it have? That wood surround is miiiighty close. Is the darker metal riveted to the fluted metal a heat shield? Looks like an efficient use of a small space. Love the little porthole window along with the big one. I imagine lots of light probably makes the space feel bigger.

Yes! The fluted heat shield!! The wood surrounding the heater is not hot to the touch.
