Small, portable wood stove for tent....or camper?

The Kimberly wood stove would be my personal choice if I had the cassh. View the video of an installation of said stove in a class c camper. One's also installed on a boat. Another in a cabin to generate heat and electricity.

Draws OUTSIDE air into the firebox via a hole drilled through the camper floor. Thus, no danger of losing breathable interior air for combustion. Carbon monoxide-free operation with the outside air feeding the firebox.

Stove had secondary combustion in the upper honeycomb chamber to burn up excess smoke and fumes.

And the small clearances on the rear and sides are a great space saver in the camper.

Kinda big $$$ though. Upwards of $4K with pipes, etc.

amazon shows several stoves

Actually I've been scouring the internet for such a beast, woodstove for camper. Have found two candidates but, only can find a name on one of them.

The other was in a trailer, factory installed by sheepcamps.com. That one I don't have a name of stove maker, I think I'm calling the manufacturer of the trailer.

Had a old 1920 logging camp (fixed in place) with a wood stove, next to the propane stove with no issues (in 40 years), and since I started aging my broken 3 places back has been screaming for wood heat.

The Kimberly is a gasification (dbl. burn stove) relatively zero clearance 6-8", and goes right out thru his ceiling in the C, using a 3" pellet stove pipe. They're used on boats and other RV's, and it takes firewood not pellets.

Yes, kickstart is iffy, but I thought the concept/idea would stimulate worthwhile conversation.
RoyB just made the thread worthwhile all by himself. :-)
There are other little wood stoves out there that people here might know about, or better yet have experience with......

Keep listening.

Looks cool, too bad it doesn't exist... most kickstarter campaigns go bust, never delivering a product or a refund.

I don't see any reason a wood stove couldn't be fitted into a camper (truck, trailer, etc). Fiberglass or mineral wool insulation would protect the surroundings, a double or triple wall flu would protect the roof / outside wall.

If you're parked on your own land and can harvest wood as needed, then you don't need to carry fuel. Otherwise, LP and gasoline have a lot higher energy density than wood, meaning you can carry more heat than a comparable weight of wood.

I used a old car radiator connected just inside the tent and the hoses ran to the outside and eventually going to a larger metal pipe that is laying over a fire pit. The water just went in a closed loop and as it got heated up it would flow through the radiator and back to the fire..

I did have a pop-off value on the the outside leg and every now and then I might get the water hot enough to pop it off...

This used to work like gang busters getting heat inside the tent. Then we would put a battery operated fan behind the radiater to blow air around the tent...

Then in the summer months would do the same idea using a battery operated water pump and pull in water from the creek to go through the radiator and then back to the creek... This would give us cool air to blow around the inside the tent...

A couple of years ago I was in a CABELAs looking at their camping section and saw a similar item for sale using a radiator and a heat exchanger laying across the open fire pit.. I should have applied for a patent way back them haha...
