OUR STORY
Hello! My name is Nick and in 2011 my wife and I decided to make some major life changes while awaiting the arrival of our daughter. Our goal was to have more time, energy and resources for what matters most - our growing family. We bought and renovated a 1966 Airstream travel trailer, taking long camping trips and extended visits to see friends and family all over the US.
During our renovation, we focused on building it to allow us to camp entirely off-grid and self-contained. We began exploring all the various options for power, waste management, heating, and cooling. The majority of heat sources in RVs use propane. With the downsides of propane as a heat source (cost, condensation & potential leaks), we decided on wood heat. As we looked at the different options for our Airstream it was a challenge to find the best solution. We spent months researching the different options and decided to create the Tiny Wood Stove blog as an information resource for other people that are looking for affordable, sustainable wood heat options for tiny spaces.
Our business has quickly grown and we now offer our own line of small wood stoves plus a full array of chimney parts and accessories. In 2022 we launched a new line of products with the Throne Composting Toilet which also grew from a personal need and lots of hands-on testing. We are passionate about adventuring in comfort and excited to help you with a wood stove or composting toilet for your tiny space!
OUR TINY TEAM
ELIZABETH - Sales & Marketing
Elizabeth, her husband, and two daughters spent 3 years traveling the country in their self-converted school bus, backpacking, rock climbing, and playing in the desert dirt. For their next adventure, they bought land in northern Vermont and built a small timber-frame house. Outside of work, Elizabeth is typically found baking sourdough bread for her local customers, running in the mountains, and learning how to grow food and make maple syrup.
CODY - Customer Success Coach
Cody & Randi built their 20 ft. tiny house in 2015 and traveled around the United States and Canada before settling down on an off-grid property in Central Oregon. In addition to his work with Tiny Wood Stove, Cody is also a beekeeper and avid gardener. When not working, you can find them backpacking, fly fishing, or bouncing down a dirt road in their Mitsubishi Delica.
HEATHER - Customer Success Coach
LUCAS - Customer Success Coach
Lucas and his partner, Natalie, have been living in tiny spaces for 15 years - a cabin in the woods, a sailboat, tents on expeditions, a self-built adventure van, and for the past 9 years, their off-grid THOW. His current project is a shipping container office. An outdoor educator by trade, Lucas is passionate about an active lifestyle outdoors, human-powered experiences, and using his hands to create. He calls northern Minnesota home base.
JULIA - Chief Storyteller
Julia has been traveling full-time with her husband, two kids and their dog for 10 years (and counting). They are currently living in their self-built adventure rig, traveling all over the continent. Happiest in the mountains, taking pictures and forcing her kids to walk “just a little bit further”. Alternatively trying to convince the rest of the family it’s not yet too cold to go on another backpacking trip, and, if all of that fails, baking some orange chocolate chip shortbread cookies.
LARISSA - Warehouse and Shipping fulfillment
Larissa is a Idaho native, born and raised in the Treasure Valley. She traveled throughout the US and South America and currently lives in a 5th-wheel with her grandmother and dog.
She doesn't have a wood stove yet, but it's on the list of modifications for her home! When she is not working in the warehouse she likes gardening (with a focus on homesteading), arts (photography, etching press printing, watercolors), and most recently canning.
ANASTAZIA- Warehouse and Shipping fulfillment
Anastazia has been working her magic in the Tiny Wood Stove warehouse while finishing school and has stayed with us after starting her exciting new studies in UX Design. She would love to live tiny when she'll live on her own and when she's not getting stoves ready to ship she spends her time building miniature kits, with art, writing, quad riding, reading, and baking.
DAN - Integrator & General Mgr
Homesteading in the Blue Ridge in a renovated 1974 Airstream. Dan and Leanne sold their houses and most of their stuff to travel and focus on their passions. When he's not working, you’re most likely to find Dan farming, building, or in the woods somewhere, hiking at toddler pace and collecting wild edible plants (and garbage).
NICK - Visionary
Nick is a dad of four, an adventurer at heart, and a lifelong tinkerer with a passion for off-grid living. He lives in North Idaho with his family, where he enjoys rock climbing, mountain biking, permaculture, and getting kids out into the wild. Whether he’s solving problems with his hands or helping others do the same, Nick is always chasing better ways to live simply and sustainably.
