This might be a good alternative for those looking for a very small well-built woodstove for a very small cabin. You'll need to scroll down the page past the diesel heaters to find the 'solid fuel heater'. It's a wall mount unit intended for boats, only about 8" wide, 9" deep and 14" high. Costs a lot less than the other small marine woodstoves. No mention of EPA compliance.
You won't find it if you google anything with 'woodstove' in it cause they call it a 'solid fuel heater'

I looked at those very long and hard. I almost bit on one to buy. My concern was the feeding of the fire through the night. I wasnt that excited about getting up that often to fill that little stove box. If you only burned it when awake, it looks great.

Yes, with any such super small woodburner you have the overnight problem. But several posters have said that their building is just too small for even the smallest Jutul or Morso.
Here's another bizarre contraption along these lines, a Turkish samovar hot water heater woodstove. Just the thing for my bunkie.

I am going to struggle with that this winter I believe. I am hoping that the wood stove will only be slightly too big for our Michigan winter. I am happy though that I have a very small wood stove. I may be switching over to the Dickinson in the spring...lol. I will have to let ya know.

I'm leaning towards this one for my small cabin:

I have this one I installed last winter and really does a great job for a 10x12. One of the posters has a link for this stove in their post. The only thing you need to do is keep it loaded with wood. This will heat up a small area really nice. I might even take down the tin because it didn't even get warm and do something else on the walls. Good luck. I paid 56 buck shipped to the door.

Brooks, I have one about that same size. My cabin is a 16X18, well insulated and as soon as the interior items have all absorbed the heat, it is way too much. But I have plenty of windows.  I suspect your winters may be cooler than mine. So you may be OK for the toughest winters.

Thank you toyota...I guess I am going to need learn to build small fires. I do not want to be cold but too hot is not great either...lol. The wood stove has been one of my biggest issues. Finding, deciding, size, placement and installation all have been high on my priority list. I did see some smaller wood stoves like the one irishguy posted earlier. I was concerned about safety with that unit and I am not eager to feed a stove all night long.

why can't you just build a smaller fire to keep from getting too hot?

I have been burning wood most of my life and small fires are tough. They have a habit of getting away from you or going out. Plus, if you get it going good enough to go to bed and fill it full...it will probably get too hot. That is unless its like -10 outside and nobody in Michigan wants that again this winter.

That's our stove, too- a Reginald 101- and we heat our house with it (not the camp), 860 sq'. I think the company became Waterford.
It's beautiful and keeps us warm. Yours is in really good shape. We've been using ours for 21 years.

Our camp stove is an Upland that we got at a yard sale for $30 & cleaned it
up. It's the same size as the Reginald.... true you have to keep an eye on small fires through the night, but a dog makes for a fine foot warmer. plus kisses in the morning.

smallworks- It is definately in good shape but I think it is too large for my 100sqft. I do not know (at this point) what I will be heating with this winter...lol. Leaning towards a small coal stove I believe. I have been told you can burn either wood or coal. They are typically much smaller. It still poses the getting up in the middle of the night problem but it will be much more tolerable during the day.

IRISHGUY - thanks so much for the link!! I'm putting up a 10x12 to be completed...or at least habitable...by winter. 120 sq ft is pretty small for a "regular" wood stove from what i've seen...didn't really like non-vent propane...that might be just the ticket 
NEB - nice setup...might steal some idears from ya

I can tell you one thing it does heat it up. It doesn't take long and you are in short sleeves. Check on amazon and you can get one at a good price. Good luck in your choice and keep us posted on what you do.

Not sure if I understand your question sorry. From the stove to the chimney I went to a muffler shop and they flared the over end of the pipe so could mate the pipe the right way. They did it for me at no charge. Then I went and got a piece of high grade flex pipe that is used for piping engine exhaust and formed to go up through the roof. The first piece of pipe from the stove is a shorter piece of then went up from there. The top three pieces of pipe are pipe that came with the stove. I hope this helps. I have some better pictures I will post one. Good luck my friend.

R9R>>>>My setup works just fine for what I need it for. Of course I don't live there but really does a great job. A few things I'm going to do is get a 1/2 inch piece of steel plate and will lay that from one side of the brick to the other. This will keep heat down and it will also heat up that steal plate for longer lasting heat. The other thing I will do is cut a 2 inch hole in the floor close to the stove for outside air. My shack is very tight and I need outside air intake. I will do that this spring. I was there last weekend and got the inside to temp to 70 degrees very quickly and I could maintain that temp while I was there.

Hi,
I've seen you have a reginalad 100, like us. We got it as a present and want to get it working again. We are looking for spare parts. Do you have any idea where we can find some?
Thanks!
