Hello all. Lots of discussion on how to heat our cabins. I have been considering an oil drip stove . The stove that was recommended to me by a plumber friend was Kuma . They appear to have good recommendations. Size wise, are fairly small less than 20†square and 36â€â€ tall if I remember correctly. Use no electricity, glass window in door is nice. Makes a night light we enjoy watching a fire. A glass door was a requirement on our wood stoves.
I have considered setting a fuel drip stove next to our cabins wood stove. I could get by on a drum a year. And use the wood stove when I want. Like when I want to cuddle up with my beautiful wife and watch a fire.
Hope you’re all having a great summer.

Did you ever get an oil stove? I’m considering one for our cabin in Maine. I stayed in an off grid cabin, when I lived in Alaska, with an oil drip stove and it really put out some heat and seemed extremely efficient. Just curious if you got one and if so how you like it?

Ive always heard you have to have a separate vent stack for each stove and wouldnt the woodstove clearances to the 'combustibles' also have to be maintained with an drip-oil stove close by?

I have one in my cabin ,works great ,no hydro required ,about $6.00 for 24 hrs of heat in Canada ,once a month I have to reach in and clean out the burner ,mine is old (1940’s) and I have a few others older that all work like new .Ilive alone at camp usually ,and when I go to work I put something on it for dinner so I have a hot meal when I get home .I also leave a very big pot of water on it so I always have hot water .I have to say ,I have decided to replace it with an oil drip fireplace for the light they emit and the smaller size although that’s not a huge drawback for me .Mine is 60,000 btu but I only need 10-15000 .
Anyways ,I couldn’t be more pleased with the economical safe heat I get from it and it has been no trouble at all .

No oil drip stove yet. Drip stoves don't get near as hot on the outside so clearances are probably less. I would use the same stovepipe stack as my woodstove n set it up next to it.
