My brother's wood cutting engine is installed in a ten by twelve building
with a corrugated metal roof. This old Wisconsin air cooled V4 would warm up
the inside of the shed enough to melt all the snow off while sawing
firewood. Couldn't spend too much time standing in there warming up though
due to the high concentration of carbon monoxide.
