BACKGROUND
We stumbled into the Tiny Wood Stove business after trying to source a stove for our Tiny Home a 1966 Airstream Travel Trailer. We wanted a modestly sized wood burner for affordable off-grid dry heat. After searching the internet to find every possible solution we compiled a list of all the options. What we found was a bunch of stoves that were not ideal for our situation. They weren’t the right size, they didn’t have the right features or they were beyond our budget. So we set out to create the perfect stove for small spaces. The Dwarf is efficient, durable and affordable!

BODY CONSTRUCTION
The sturdy body is made of thick 3/16″ – 5/16th Steel Plate.
DOOR
The door is made of high-quality cast iron with a large fire viewing window for a classy look while providing optimal heat retention.
FLUE OUTLET
The 4” Flue outlet can exit out the top or the rear of the stove depending on your needs. Exiting out the rear of the stove allows the entire top surface to be used as a cooking plate while exiting out the top of the stove allows are tighter installation with less clearances.
AIR CONTROL
The Dwarf gives you complete control over primary, secondary and tertiary air supplies. The airtight primary and secondary air are controlled by separate levers on the bottom of the stove and the tertiary air-wash is controlled by a slide valve just above the door.
FIREBOX
The Dwarf firebox is made of durable cast iron and refractory fire brick. Cast iron is very durable for continuous use, and the fire bricks reflect heat back into the firebox for a more efficient burn.
BURNS CHUNKS OF WOOD: 6-8″ Long
RIDDLING GRATE + ASH PAN
The bottom of the firebox is a cast iron grate with a mechanical lever (located lower left of door) that engages the floor of the grate sifting out ash from the firebox. This handy feature is a must for coal, and helps to quickly and efficiently clean out the firebox. Below the grate is a removable ash pan for easy disposal.
OPTIONAL ADD-ONS
You can customize the look of your stove by adding the tall cast iron legs or wood storage stand. Enamel doors are available in your choice of colors. Factory heat shields are available for clearance reduction.
CLEARANCES
16” sides, 18” rear, 36″ top to ceiling. You can reduce required clearances by up to 2/3 with a properly designed heat shield.

How's the stove's output? Too Small
What kind of structure are you heating? RV
I have owned my dwarf 3kw for three years now. This stove has kept me alive in several very cold winters, and has cooked plenty of meals for me and my guests. This is a well designed stove, with some unfortunate but predictable cons.
Pros: Extremely efficient. Leaves very little ash. Can burn Osage Orange, anthracite or any other extreme high heat fuels. Can burn PINE because the flue comes apart very easily to clean.
Cons: I touch every piece of wood that I burn on this at least 5 times. Chainsaw first, then maul to split it. Then miter saw to cut it safely to 6-8″ length. Larger chunks of wood take a long time to burn, obviously and do not put out much heat. Most logs will need split another time if you plan on having a hot fire. If choose to purchase firewood, you will regret it because of the extra steps you need to take to Cut it to size. It’s much easier if you Cut your own, though it kind of appears that it’s designed for burning limbs. I have numerous scars from this excessive splitting, due to my dependence on this stove. My stove with an 8’6″ flue out the back stays lit about 5 hours of packed to the brim and turned all the way down.
It kept me alive for several years living deep off grid, so this isn’t a complaint. Just letting future generations know… Get a stove that burns regular sized wood.
