Is a wood stove right for my space?
Wood heat is dry (decreases humidity which can be an issue in small spaces), sustainable and affordable plus the ambiance is hard to beat. That said burning wood does come with certain trade-offs like lighting and managing a fire and sourcing/processing wood. If you’re looking for hands-off and still want the ambiance of flames check out our
Gas Stove. For a more in-depth exploration of the pros and cons check out our article:
Is Wood Heat Right for Me
What size stove do I need?
For most medium Tiny Houses (< 250sqft) our Dwarf 4kw is a good option. That said there are many variables to consider when sizing a stove including usage, climate, and space efficiency. For a more accurate calculation checkout our
Stove Selector that will take your space and suggest an appropriately sized stove. If you want a human to help you out feel free to
contact us.
Do installation parts come with the stove? What parts do I need?
Since every space is different installation parts do not come with the stoves. We have base kits for different spaces then depending on your setup, you’ll need one or more additional pieces of chimney pipe. Chimney parts can be overwhelming so we made our
Chimney Selector which will help you calculate exactly what you need for a strightforward installation. If you have a more involved installation or you just prefer human help, feel free to
contact us.
Can I pick up chimney pipe from the hardware store?
Not likely. Because most household wood stoves us 6” diameter and larger chimney pipe, it can be hard to source the smaller diameters used by smaller wood stoves. You may find small diameter gas or pellet pipe at your local hardware store but appliances that use chimneys all have specific pipes based on flue gas temperatures. Gas and pellet appliances both have much lower exhaust temperatures compared to wood-burning stoves. Woodstove chimney and connector pipe is built to withstand potential chimney fires and are rated to temperatures 2x to 3x that of gas or pellet pipe. All our chimney pipes are built for the high exhaust temperatures of wood stoves. Check out our
Chimney Selector to find the right parts for your installation.
How much will it all cost?
Like many projects, there is a vast range for the total cost. While price is an important factor, total value is what we recommend you focus on. While you can find a cheaper wood stove elsewhere, it’s wise to invest in the best solution upfront for a wood stove that will last a lifetime, will burn efficiently, and comes with support from a team of folks who live small just like you.
Other than the height of your structure which impacts how much total chimney pipe you need, the choice to use a wall exit versus a roof exit is the biggest factor that will increase the cost of an installation. A typical roof exit installation with one of our stoves in a cabinruns around $1500 while a wall exit installation is likely to run upwards of $2000. Got a vision for your installation and want to know how much it will cost? Try our
Chimney Selector or
contact us.
Should my pipe exit the roof or the wall? I don’t want to cut a hole in my roof!
Many folks are nervous about cutting a hole through their roof. It depends on your space. Generally speaking, roof exits function the best for the stove (you get the best draft) and are the most economical (cost the least) to install. There are some spaces where a wall exit may be the best option. Factors to consider when choosing an installation are budget, good draft, and aesthetics. Check out our article on
Wood Stove Flue Design for more info on designing a chimney system.
Burn time depends on fuel quality, fuel quantity, and air settings. In general, you can expect 3KW 3-5hrs, 4KW 4-6hrs & 5KW 6-8hrs. We’ve gotten the best results with burn time using compressed logs. For more info check out our article on
How to Make your Wood Stove Burn Longer.
What are the clearance requirements? How close to the wall/cabinet can I put my stove?
The stoves require 18” clearance from anything combustible and you can reduce this to 6” using a simple heat shield on the wall. You can also use our
stove mounted heat shields to reduce the clearance to 9”. For more information check out our article
Heat Shields for Clearance Reduction.

My cabinis pretty airtight, do I need to consider something?
Consider using a direct air intake kit to bring fresh air into your firebox from outside. Wood stoves burning in small and tightly seal spaces can sometimes create a bit of a vacuum and suffer from lack of fresh air. You might find you have to open a window a bit to keep your fire burning well. A direct air intake fixes this problem by allowing you to keep your nice hot air inside by bringing its own fresh air in from outside.
