In 1972 I had a custom wood stove made the size of a large shoe box with a chjminy made from a custom bent car exhaust pipe. I mounted it low down on the back door with the chimny going out thru the back door window. The only heat protection needed was on the side cabinets -- plenty of setback space so not much heat shielding needed. I used this stove in my 16 foot camp trailer and later in my 11.5 foot camper. I could burn small pieces of wood but I usually burned prestologs as they would burn all night and still have coals in the morning. Note that for safety I had an emergency exit out thru the truck cab or window. -- but never had a problem. Maintenance was removing the ash and creosote from the chimny. Nice dry heat. In 1992 I switched to an Olympus catalytic heater. It caused condensation on the wood panaling and inside of the walls. In 1996 I went to a fiberglass camper shell that I built out and lined with 2" of styrofoam. No more condensation except on the windows. I still use this camper and heater which I love for my winter camping.
I’m guessing that when you came home to find it a bit smokey, it could’ve been the paint curing on the stove which is perfectly normal and usually goes away after a couple of full burns. Great video! With a straight vertical flue of such a short length I’m sure you’ll be just fine.
@@numbnut257 it’s a bit bigger, and you would have a lot more internal space because it’s not insulated, unless you some how did that yourself with fire bricks? That would be cool
I have a mini grizzly in a bunkie I built, it's an awesome efficient little wood burner. Even with my 9 ft chimney it's an amazing stove. It's the best practical investment for a small space. ❤👍
I have a small popup trailer that i used for the first time in cold snowy weather. All i had for heat was a coleman propane stove with a cast iron fry pan over the burner and it put out a lot of great heat but i am tempted to install a woodstove. As far as all the heat sizing to above there is a easy solution that takes all that heat and puts down low where you are sitting. I have a 6 inch 12v fan that snaps onto the top hoop on trailer frame that faces straight down and even has a light with it. If i did not have a battery on my trailer i have a simple battery box made by ICE HOLE POWERBOX with a 30 amp lithium battery box which also has a USB port for charging things like a cell phone etc. and also has a 12v port that is like cigarette lighter. and if you want to make power it has a port to hook up soar cells to charge your battery.
Sounds like a sweet set up. I feel like it would be challenging to install a wood burner in a pop up. Maybe a side jack? Or removing the pipe when putting down or popping up? Something to dig deeper into for sure.
I'm looking into doing this for my pop up camper. My only concern is how to cap it off on the top for when your driving, so it doesn't rip off the top shield?
TINY WOODSTOVE You should be able to take coals out and use them in your small Hibachi for fish& shrimp and thin strip of beef depending on how green the wood is your using.
I would say that it depends on the size of the space and how well it’s insulated. In my camper I slept 2 months in it and a lot of the nights were in the mountains at -20 Celsius. I was toasty warm throughout the night.
My flue pipe is very short, shorter than spec due to the build in my camper. I recommend going to the lowest point possible for mounting the stove. Eliminates possible problems with draw/airflow. You can always have an added removable extension to extend the pipe to desired length.
Very true! Unfortunately I decided to keep it shorter than spec due to the build in my camper. After working out the kinks the stove seems to operate quite well.
Good DIY primer. Now all you need is a snowy night, good dog on the bed and a cup of hot chocolate. Stay warm, enjoy your journey.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Very nice. I'm looking at doing the same in my camper but I haven't seen anybody put one in a camper till I ran across yours. Thanks 😊
No problem! I hope the video can help you with the install.
Lots of them on UTube, they are used everywhere, campers, buses, cabins❤😊
Sweet !!!Home Sweet Home ! Nice build .
Thank you, was very comfortable during the winter.
Wow😂 you are so good at installing this little wood stove!! 😊I want you to install one for me in my truckcamper😊😊❤❤ I love it "

That’s very cool, I’m thinking of building out a fibreglass shell as well. Camperette size to limit the weight I’m hauling.
Nice work buds, you will enjoy that little unit!
Thanks, it works great
Great addition to the camper! That'll keep you cozy🔥
Been putting it to use it’s been fantastic
I love it. You did a amazing job.
Thanks for watching!
Well done, appreciate your insight. Mine is still boxed, working out the mount location.
Awesome little stove, I’ve been putting it to the test in -20 and it does a great job.

Great video!

Seems to work great, just a few tweaks at the beginning.
Just what I've been looking for! Thank you!✌️
Glad you enjoyed!
Clean work with the Diamond plate!
The Diamond plate don’t look too half bad
I did something similar but I built my stove from a propane bottle. Looking forward to your videos
That sounds cool, I’ve heard of the propane bottle stove before. What size propane tank did you use?
Just a standard 20lb bottle, it's probably the same size as what you have now
@@numbnut257 it’s a bit bigger, and you would have a lot more internal space because it’s not insulated, unless you some how did that yourself with fire bricks? That would be cool
When do we get a Camper tour?
I guess I’ll have to get on that sooner than I thought!
Do you have a carbon monoxide detector?
Absolutely, highly recommend whenever using a heat source like this.

That’s awesome, I almost went with the grizzly. But the Cub is more of a proper fit for my unit.

I just cap off the top with a galvanized pipe cap that screws into the pipe. (Specifically to the outer insulated pipe)
Looks like a great job.
Can you shut down the stove even with it full of wood that is burning?
Thank you, you can close all dampers to cut off the flow of oxygen
@@truetineoutdoors thanks
The stove looks great. I am planning to install one for my van. May I ask where did you buy, please?
Thank you! Online from Cubic Mini Wood Stoves

Cool!
How well does this work in the far north? I'm in Maine and wondering if this will heat enough on a winter night.
I would say that it depends on the size of the space and how well it’s insulated. In my camper I slept 2 months in it and a lot of the nights were in the mountains at -20 Celsius. I was toasty warm throughout the night.
How long is your flue pipe? Im thinking about putting this in a truck camper, and im not sure i want a ton of pipe above the roof.
My flue pipe is very short, shorter than spec due to the build in my camper. I recommend going to the lowest point possible for mounting the stove. Eliminates possible problems with draw/airflow. You can always have an added removable extension to extend the pipe to desired length.
Hey bro how has your stove setup been working out ?
It works great haven’t used it since last winter tho
Any issues arise from using it?
Nope, beauty little stove
Probably already mentioned but the length of your flu is what’s causing a lot of problems, the longer it is these easier the smoke goes up.
Very true! Unfortunately I decided to keep it shorter than spec due to the build in my camper. After working out the kinks the stove seems to operate quite well.
Thank you
You’re welcome
Which stove it that?
Cubic Mini wood stove Cub
Killer now I know what to do 👌
T……..
Small thing cost what 1000 bucks ?;
Yes a lottt
But a great unit
I bought the Englander Cub for less than $400 USD.
Those mini stove wayyyyy to expensive for a small unit nahh i can get a big one for that price
Yea but you can’t put a big one in a camper….. well I suppose you could but it would be very impractical.
You have to lower your wood stove, it's to high,I believe it wood heat your camper better.
True, but then I would have to give up storage!
Wow😂 you are so good at installing this little wood stove!! 😊I want you to install one for me in my truckcamper😊😊❤❤ I love it "
lol thanks for watching
