in THE MAIN WALL
I bought this Canadian built Cubic wood stove for a camper project I'm working on. About a 12" cube, burns 4-1/2" long pieces of wood.

Of course I'll add a small external hw loop somehow.

    Nice I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wood stove that small.

    There are a few others. This one has a good price point compared to similar sized ones out there.

    That is cute. Had one similar to that in our fish house back in high school. My first attempt at in-floor heat was this, 1/2" pex at 6" using aluminum foil rolled into grooves routered into the subfloor and overlaid with 1/4" lauan and thin carpet. Used a 12v potable water pump and welded a.... thing.... on the top of the stove to act as a heat exchanger. The thing was a series of 3/4" square tube basically running back and forth 12" all the way through and water came out hot on the other side. Was a pretty cool design for a stupid 17 year old kid in shop class lol. 4 of us owned it together and spent every weekend on the lake in winters, the little fella never let us freeze!

    I did shop around the marine, RV, and tiny home sites for these small wood burners. This brand seems to get the best reviews, and have replaced some of the more expensive stainless marine types in some cases. Incredible price, especially with the current exchange rate.

    I had planned on picking it up at the factory and traveling home with it as carry on, to save the shipping cost. A bout of the flu postponed that trip.

    There are some that approach the cost of a full size unit.........I think feeding it as a primary heat source could be an hourly chore, but that involves just a five gallon bucket of wood chunks for half a day :)
