Re: Small, portable wood stove for tent....or camper?
Finally reached the sheepcamps for their stove info, and another question theirs is heavy and $2000 shipping would be big bucks. The Kimberly weighs 50 lbs., not an issue for a truck camper. THe clearances also make it do able even on a TC or RV/Trailer. They do make others and I've looked at even the tiny home/boat type Newport gas stoves. Reason I've used my Furnace in Lance and it sucked the power down, the blowers are a hog and a half. Meanwhile the Newports sipped at the the power they use a 12V computer sized fan to move the air about. And can be installed pretty much in anything - minimal clearance, not requiring external air. Still looking for the ideal live in 4x4 on my next buy/build. Yes, I know $4000 is pricey for a cook/heat stove but, you need relatively zero clearance in a camper/RV trailer. I know I've seen others but, drawing a blank on names. There are many stoves for tents, anyone thats every camped old school can attest to that. Military or Mega sports type stores that sell canvas tent. Or stovess for through hikers - in $200 range but, in an rv - uh uh.677Views0likes0CommentsRe: Small, portable wood stove for tent....or camper?
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. Kimberly stove - Youtube, Justin Credible user its in a Class C Motorhome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trAEEoFMYKY 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.678Views0likes0Comments
