Sizing tips

  • The chart is based on good insulation and a 10' ceiling; consider a larger stove for drafty or poorly insulated spaces.
  • Users who sleep cool may let the fire burn down overnight; for consistent warmth, opt for a larger stove or reload it early.
  • Stove size varies based on insulation, supplemental heat, and personal comfort; use the chart as a guide but choose based on your needs.

> Dwarf 5 kW

The Dwarf 5kW is a good choice for your space if you have another heat source, and want a stove for supplemental heat and ambiance. Our largest stove won't be big enough to serve as your primary heat source through the coldest part of the Winter.

Back

Dwarf 5 kW

The Dwarf 5kW is our largest small stove, and is the best fit for larger tiny spaces and colder climates.

Back

Dwarf 4 kW

The Dwarf 4kW is our medium sized small stove. It's a great fit for medium sized tiny spaces, and larger spaces in milder climates. Consider 5kW if poorly insulated or tall ceilings.

Back

Dwarf 3 kW

The Dwarf 3kW is our smallest stove. It's a great fit for very small spaces, and medium sized spaces in milder climates. Consider 4kW if poorly insulated or tall ceilings.

Which stove mounting accessories will you be using?

Standard Legs
Tall Legs

Will you use a direct air intake?

A steady air supply is key for consistent burns. The Dwarf’s direct air intake connects your stove to outside air, preventing negative pressure and reducing drafts, especially useful in small or tightly sealed spaces.

No
Yes

Will you be using the Dwarf stove-mounted heatshield?

Most small space installs need heat shields for safe clearances. You can build your own or choose our stove- and pipe-mounted shields for a faster, easier installation. Learn more about shield types and clearance requirements

No
Yes, heat shield for stove only
Yes, heat shields for stove and single wall pipe

Will your flue pipe exit the top or rear of your stove?

A rear exit keeps the top of the stove open for a larger cooking surface.
A top exit lets the stove sit closer to the wall, saving space in tighter installations.

What kind of structure do you have?

Framed Building (i.e. bunkie, sauna)
Vehicle/Vessel (RV, van, skoolie, boat)
Soft-sided Structure (tent, yurt)

Where will the flue pipe exit your structure?

Choose a roof exit for the best draft and simplest, most efficient install. Just make sure you have clear space above the stove for the pipe to run.
Choose a wall exit if you need to route around lofts or cabinets, but expect more parts, higher cost, and slightly reduced draft.

Roof Pitch

A pitch of X:12 means that for every 12 horizontal units (inches, feet, etc.) of run, the roof rises X units vertically. This measurement is a ratio describing the steepness of the roof.

For example, a roof with a pitch of 6:12 rises 6 inches for every 12 inches of horizontal distance.

Steeper pitches (higher X values) are more common in areas with heavy rainfall or snow, as they allow for better runoff, while lower pitches are typical in drier regions or modern designs.
