i could state a rocket stove but would need a 3" minimum just to run pellets within it
other stoves are 4" and 5" wide on there flues
the only other one is 2" flue for a boat heater that uses charcoal instead
so you now have a choice to which one you choose
note stoves need room around them and also there flue is 5" for a 3" flue 6" for a 4" flue 7" for a 5" flue
4" for a 2" flue the 1 " is 2" flue for diesel heater
all depends on what you can get your hands on free and what you intend to use/pay for

just thought id mention your options
though will say you will get better heat out of the diesel heater faster to warm up and keep it at temp when needed
you will find the electric heater will be poor and struggle to warm your length of shed up and keep it at reasonable temps
its why i posted the above video so you know

Think my 5kw diesel heater has a exhaust of about 1".
These are good at work stations and will heat you up nicely. https://www.primrose.co.uk/-p-86132...LVF7L72THRG0V-uUBAsGpMWEVyqHJ-WhoCxF4QAvD_BwE

Small room is for my son I'm setting up PS4 and TV for him and tea facilities for me. Door will be fitted soon.
Oil heater is great but does get rather hot so I really need to turn the stat down. It has a timer so it's set to come on early so warmed when I enter.
Room holds heat well and I'm pleased I made effort to insulated floor walls and roof.

silly question here but i presume you know what your putting in the shed for a workshop did you consider strengthening certain points for heavy machinery been sat in one palce a long time ?
if not you may get saggage as the machine spins up or is in use over long period of times

Very good question gaz1 . I don't have any heavy machinery so I shall be good on that side of things.
I will only be restoring and welding car body vw beetle / polo panels wings , doors etc. Small light jobs.
It has 3 windows and one door with glass and a separate section at the end with the door you can see in the photo.
I have 3 strip LEDs in main area that are not on in the photo. You can have lights on independently . Four downlight LEDs in the little room at the end. Twelve double sockets and outside security light.
So far I am enjoying my time on the build . I have a oil radiator that's keeps me warm and can get away with just a t-shirt on .

Sorry just got carried away with welding the vw beetle. Yes it's good over the cold spell I had a little 2kw oil radiator and it keeps warm . I made more shelf's that are full with RC cars . I got a couple of body panels wings and bonnet in there at the moment that I sprayed ready for the other vw project .
