I have a 12x20 uninsulated at this point. What wood stove should I go with a air tight glass door front or one of those box stoves that have a few cooking plates on top. I cant decide and would like to buy a stove once. the space isnt that big and I dont want to under buy something that wont bring up the temp. thanks in advance. If anyone has any ideas other than wood I would be open to it. I dont have electrcity so anything that needs power to run a blower would not be applicable

My vote would be wood stove with a nice window-we cook on ours too.

If you're looking for a high quality wood stove that should last a lifetime, I recommend the Jotul 602. It's the smallest one they make, and is more than adequate for your space. It also has a dedicated cooking plate on top. Mine is installed in a 450 sq ft cabin and has kept me warm through -10F nights in Wisconsin.

This is my Morso convection stove. It has the advantage of smaller clearance requirements than radiant stoves.

Its designed to heat up to 1000sqft; so I would think so. I haven't lived with mine thru a winter, but my ex has a similiar Morso that keeps 800sqft quite cozy. This is a model 1440. Here's a link;

I have a box cast iron stove I got from Tractor Supply Co, but I have not had much luck cooking on it. I was concerned with adding one inside an enclosed house, but I sure would like to have one. I just start thinking that I will die of smoke inhalation in the middle of the night.. lol
I know, leave a couple windows open and it will vent out, but never had one enclosed so no idea how that would work out.

I have a 10X20 (my colorado 10x20 yurbin) uninsulated cabin / screenhouse / tent. I have a Vermont Castings Aspen that I bought off Craigslist for $400 in near new condition including all the piping. More than 1/2 of the exterior walls are screened openings that we cover by rolling down heavy canvas and velcroing it to the frames. This stove is able to put off enough heat that you are still opening window canvas when it's 10 degrees outside. A full wood load lasts about 6 hours --- so it won't make it through the night -- but since the stove is cast iron it radiates heat for long after. In a 12x20 cabin with solid walls
you would be cozy even without insulating. It has a nice flat top for cooking as well. If you can't find this model I would recomend the larger Vermont Castings as well.

It's been my experience that it doesn't take much of a woodstove to keep a cabin toasty. The challenge is regulating it. In my 16'x16' hunting cabin we have a small stove we actually recovered from the ruin of some other old cabin. I don't know the dimensions, but I would guess-stimate the fire box is 12"x10"x18" deep. Even in a poorly insulated cabin, it can be 20 degrees outside and >90 inside- to the point where you can't sleep and we have to open the door and windows to cool the place down. We joke about suffering from hallucinations due to the heat- just like an ol' indian sweat-lodge. But the temperature will swing 30 degrees over a couple hours as the box heats up and cools down as the wood burns.

thanks to all I got a line on an old Jotul combination #4 looks like a decent older unit. I think they make good wood stoves and for 150 bucks I think its a steal.

I don't know if you have them in your area, but Rural King stores have small wood stoves on sale for 189 bucks. 2 cook tops. And 10% off stove pipe.

Steve961 whatis the purpose of the grate suspended from the ceiling around the stove pipe? Is it a drying grate? Sorry for stepping on the thread, but curiosity has got the best of me.

It's an Ikea KROKEN hanging pot rack that I'm using as a drying rack. It was only $25 at Ikea and is the perfect thing for drying wet gloves and socks in the winter. Unfortunately it seems that Ikea has recently discontinued it.

Quick question for you guys who cook on your wood heat stoves. How many times have you melted the hair on your knuckles? Lol..
I'm thinking about getting one of those heavy heat aprons and some big ol gloves, that are made for heat.
Does it get too hot to stand next to it cooking?

My 16x24 cabin has both a fire place in the main room and a wood stove in the kitchen. The kitchen stove was a Craig's List purchase for $200 and is the pride of the cabin. It not only heats but does a great job on biscuits and corn bread.
Stove is center of attention

Beulah the kitchen stove.

I've been looking at these-
JetStove.com
chimney to burn off the smoke and gases.
They look a lot like the Rocket Mass Heater design which uses a second top burn chamber to finish burning off smoke and gases (also makes twice the heat), then they use a long sheet metal vent of 20'-30' to finish releasing the heat. This long vent area is usually buried with mass like sand. The sand is warmed and can release heat for days.
In the Rocket Stoves, they use metal barrels but the jet stove is a heavier metal so it should last years...
they turn the second heat for hot water coils, cooking and ovens.
However, I am sure they are not an epa approved item.

What is the brand name of the corner woodstove the burgers are cooking on? Where did you buy/get it? Do you know if they are still available?

DFosson, THAT is what I want in my cabin.. heh. Saw one yesterday for $250 on clist, brand new.. but I am not ready for it yet.
I have a boxwood stove on my outside deck at the house.. tried to cook on it, but it never really seemed to get hot enough. I want to be able to cook with fire inside,... but not sure I want to run propane due to the hassle of having to provide it and run the lines.

Thank you for the interest in our corner woodstove. Unfortunately I can not help you as we did not purchase it, our son custom made it for us. It is in our bunkhouse and we needed something small. He built a similar one for his ice shack and we asked him to build one for us too.
In our main cabin we purchased one just so it would pass with the building inspector and meet insurance requirements but I like the original much more! Not only do I think it looks nicer but it seems to hold longer logs because of the angled box.
Not sure why a corner unit isn't standard on the market. I would think there would be a market-especially with us small cabin owners!

Everytime I see the small cook stove inyour cabin, I get curious. Do you have any idea who the manufacturer is? Any idea how old it is? It looks like there is a small oven as well. It seems perfectly sized for cabins. As you said I really like the heating cooking purposes. I am looking for a wood cook stove. It will eventually be in my future cabin, so I have time to find one. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Trollbridge Thanks for the info. You are right I think there would be a market for this corner style of wood stove. Someone need to take this idea and run with it. It could be a million dollar idea??? Doug
