Title: Cabin Stove
Post by: Machias on June 08, 2018, 08:30:04 AM: 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?

If looking used i would look for a good condition Fisher wood stove, those are some good stoves. :twocents: and if i remember they come in 3 sizes, Big bear, Mama bear and Baby bear

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.

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.

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.
Title: Re: Cabin Stove
Post by: Special T on June 08, 2018, 11:11:10 AM: 400 square feet isn't that much. One of those cast iron kits from harbor freight would probably work, for both heating and cooking.

Post by: Machias on July 06, 2018, 02:03:51 PM: 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.

Post by: Special T on July 06, 2018, 02:22:44 PM: My brother has made several shop stoves. An inline exhaust damper really helps choke down older stoves.

Post by: dscubame on July 06, 2018, 02:38:12 PM: 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.
