The Dwarf 3kw Small Wood Stove

Built for the Road Less Traveled We built the Dwarf Stove to solve a problem. When setting up our 1966 Airstream adventure trailer, we needed a compact wood stove that was efficient, affordable, and made for off-grid heat. Everything we found was either missing key features, beyond our budget, or designed for much larger spaces. So we set out to create the perfect stove for small spaces! The Dwarf 3kW wood stove is built specifically for small spaces. It’s ideal for RVs, trailers, vans, skoolies, yurts, and other tiny setups where you want efficient, dry heat during your travels or weekend getaways.

Construction and Functionality

Body
Made from thick steel plate, between 3/16 inch and 5/16 inch, for strength and durability in tough travel conditions.

Door
Cast iron with a large viewing window for a cozy, radiant heat source and optimal heat retention (cast iron remains hot much longer than steel)

Flue Outlet
The Dwarf 3kW uses a 4″ flue exit that you can set up to exit out either the top or rear of the stove.

Air Controls
Separate controls for primary and secondary air below the firebox. A tertiary air wash above the door keeps the glass clean and helps the fire burn more efficiently.

Firebox
Made of cast iron and lined with refractory fire brick for even heat and long life.

Ash Management
The riddling grate lets you sift ash into the removable pan with a simple lever. No need to dig it out with a shovel.
