At Tiny Wood Stove, we’re obviously fans of wood heat. But we also love the convenience of a thermostatically controlled gas heater in tiny and off-grid homes. Introducing the Dwarf Gas Stove. A small propane fireplace with a classic wood stove aesthetic.
Use the Dwarf Gas heater as a primary heating and cooking appliance, or as a supplement to your Dwarf Wood Stove. The direct vent design feeds and exhausts from outside, so there’s no moisture buildup or oxygen depletion in your living space. The thermostatically controlled burner keeps your home warm while you’re away, or heats overnight at the push of a button. And the visible flame and ceramic gas log set add the ambiance of a real fire to your space.

Question
ACE MOSES –
dose it have a blower? or can you add one?

We’re not planning on including a blower for the initial offering. We want the Dwarf Gas to be as off-grid friendly as possible, and a blower would require significant electricity to run. However, we might offer a blower as an aftermarket upgrade in the future for folks who want one.

Will this be capable of running without any electricity at an off-grid tiny house/cabin? If it does use power, how much?
To Dan’s comment- an eco fan works great with no electricity!

The thermostat is going to need a small battery to operate, but nothing that would require it to be plugged into the wall. We’re designing it specifically with off-grid spaces in mind, so not having an external power source is no problem!

I want one! Do you know permitting status on this type of propane burner? I think in MA there will be a high hurdle to permit it, and it might need to draft through the roof line and/or have high clearances to windows – not an easy task in a 15 foot square cabin. Need to go with permits as a commercial campground facility… really love the soapstone lid and hope you can find something as beautiful to replace it if you can’t ship with that.

Since all building codes are local, you’ll need to check with the local authority having jurisdiction (the inspector or permit office) for specific rules about placement, venting, etc. However, we are planning to have the propane fireplace UL tested and listed for residential spaces, so it’s likely that the code will defer to the manufacturer’s recommendations for most of the installation details.

We still have a lot of work to do for product development, testing, and manufacturing, but we’re hoping to have it ready to go for the 2021/2022 heating season.

I’d take one with a blower and wireless thermostat. Would be perfect in my backyard studio.

We’re definitely planning on a thermostat. The initial model won’t have a blower since we’re trying to keep it as off-grid friendly as possible. However, you could use a heat powered stove fan on top, or we may offer an electric blower accessory as an add-on in the future.

Will there be an option for a top vent?

Yes, while we’re still finalizing the design, but we’re planning to have a top and a rear vent option to give you the most flexible possible installation options.
