From what I have been told is that new wood stoves emit heat efficiently not to need a pipe that heats as well. If this is the case, go with 6 inch double-wall pipe with a proper exit thru the roof or wall. Using this type will allow less clearance to combustible walls and therefore less space.

Your about to discover that the cheap part is over (buying the stove) when you start pricing 6" insulated pipe kits. You can go with used pipes found on Kijiji.ca or so but 2 cautions.
1) Stick to a quality name brank like Selkirk (they make a few brands)
2) IF your place will be insured by an insurance company, then they will have hoops to jump through (some worse than others) and that can limit your flexibility. Cooperators wanted me to have a certified installer install a certified chimney from "their list" of approved ones... Changed to another company and saved myself over 1000 on pipes alone .... wall kit, T + 4-1/2 floors to go up for that house...

So haven't installed the wood stove yet. Still toying with what heat source to use and the proper stove. Propane or wood is the great debate still. And if propane what is a good and easy stove to use?
Also built a pair of decks at the cabin last month. Benches and stairs are to come next.

I haven't posted since last spring but I have shifted focus to the interior in the last few months. I bought and installed a Nu Way propane heater and vented it with 3 inch dryer venting as per the company recommendation. Have slept 11 nights in there and finally burned down my first 20 lb propane tank yesterday while working on my newest project. I have started to do interior siding with cottage grade pine v joint and I have been using reclaimed pallet wood for my trim around windows and doors. I also have built a dinette that converts to a bed by dropping the table to bench height and moving the back cushions over the tabletop. This helped me to gain a ton of storage underneath the benches too! Still have to finish the interior siding but that should be done by spring. We have also now wired the cabin for both a tiny single battery solar set up (which is active now). And for generator power in the near future. I hope to have a gravity water cistern set up done for spring and run a tiny sink into the building as well.

Just came across your posts and love your simple cabin! We are just starting ours this weekend and have decided on pretty much the same design as yours! Did you have plans to follow or did you make your own plans?
