I don't want heat on in my garage all the time. When I'm out there working or socializing I may have the wood stove on, if/when I decide to install one. I can't seem to decide what to put on my insulated walls. If I put in a wood stove am I obligated to put in sheetrock or can I just go with plywood or chipboard. Will I get mold if I don't keep heat on all the time?
Nope. As long as it's insulated and painted, there won't be a mold problem. Yes, mold likes heat, but you'd have to have quite a bit of moisture to breed mold. A woodstove would burn off a lot of moisture real quick and the garage door being opened will ventilate moisture out very well. If you aren't getting mold now, you won't be getting it after the heater.
