Cabin Stove

[Machias]

Anyone have a good cabin stove they would recommend for roughly 400 sq ft cabin.  Well insulated.  this stove will be used everyday for a winter.  Thanks for any recommendations.

Or do you think I would be way better off with propane?  If so what's a good propane stove with the same requirements?

Most of the name brand companies i am sure would be able to fill your need, Lopi etc.
If looking used i would look for a good condition Fisher wood stove, those are some good stoves.  and if i remember they come in 3 sizes, Big bear, Mama bear and Baby bear

Will it be a permitted installation?

Never own a cabin without a wood stove. Having a propane stove in addition is great but propane can't  displace humidity  nor quickly heat a cabin like wood.

There's always something like this.

Find some one parting out an old RV get the furnace and the stove/oven you might even pick up a fridge. But those could be suspect on working.

Nope, not required where I am building.

Get a blaze king.

We are happy with our Lopi 1250.  Our cabin is 640 sq feet.  Can also add a blower to it.

Dang Machias... sounds like you are getting your own reality TV show...   

For what it's worth, I had a Blaze King in my log house.  Loved it.  400 sq ft is pretty small, shouldn't take much stove to heat it.

400 square feet isn't that much. One of those cast iron kits from harbor freight would probably work, for both heating and cooking.

     Did some research on  wood stoves awhile back and talked with some different folks and hands down the best wood stove built.

Thanks!

You can get those new at harbor freight in ID for less than that.

Well at least they used to sell that stove in Idaho... perhaps they will have some more nearer to winter.

Look at cylinder stoves , I have one for my walktent and it's amazing, and if you stoke it right it will certainly last the night

In the cabin we have a Heartland brand and it's got the baking compartments for bread and roasts .its a great stove for heating and cooking with a 20 gallon water tank built in for bathing or washing dishes

[royalbull]

Look for an old country t-top not sure if they come in smaller sizes but they are awesome stoves

[kevinlisa06]

Might be able to just use a wall tent stove for such a small cabin.

I picked up a stove this weekend for $80.00.  We'll see if it's going to work or not.  There is also a nice looking baby bear Fisher for sale that looks nice, I may go buy it as well as i think it will hold the heat much better that this one.

My brother has made several shop stoves. An inline exhaust damper really helps choke down older stoves.

It came one one just like that.

This is identical to the one I picked up this weekend.

same kind my brother now uses in his shop. Pretty good for medium sized spaces.

That should work perfect.  And that built in damper at the base of the pipe is going to be money however if it does not perform to your expectations retro fit a damper a few feet up the pipe.
