currently building my new shed and want to put a mini wood burning stove in there to keep it warm in winter months. have a full size one in the house and no room for anything like that – anyone got any ideas for a mini one that would suit a shed?

in terms of fitting it i was thinking of sitting it on a big chunk of slate i found in the garden with a steel chequer plate behind to protect the wall (11mm OSB on 50x50mm wall framing). need to consider the flue going through the roof too (18mm OSB)

cheers

Stoner put something like this in his shed.

camping wood burning stove

Chilli penguin may be worth a look

cheers for that. i like the chilli thing but its over my budget sadly, and unfortunately that first one will be too big. the shed is only 6 ft deep due to space constraints so with the legs that’ll eat too much up.

having a look on ebay this looks like the sort of thing i was thinking of – link

shed is 6ft x 15ft so doesnt need bucket loads of heat

Looks too small – lots of wood cutting needed unless you only burn coal. Wood is free (where I live) coal is not.

How about making one?

I’ve been thinking of getting a saw dust and off cut stove in my new garage – the only thing I’m worried about is smoke bothering my neighbours.

the shed is only 6 ft deep

Why do you want a wood burner then, how long do you intend to spend in such a small space?

Sounds far too small. But to answer your question one of the small pot belly stoves as sold in machine mart.

tiggs121 – wood is free here too so as you say something bigger will be best to avoid just burning kindling. hadn’t read the dimensions properly but yeah its tiny – 4 inch square!

footflaps – as stated above its the only space i have been allowed to build by the mrs so long/narrow it is & no exceptions 😉 its pretty well planned out to make use of the space. FYI my previous shed was 8×6 and i managed to use it fine as a small workshop. next house will have a garage for sure but this one was location over man-cave space!!!

andyl – cheers for that i’ll check them out

Look for frontier stove (and search in here too)

Will post pics later

Was just about to post a link i had to a frontier stove, but its dead. Its basically the one Rustymac posted anyway.

Anyway, you want something i think called a rocket stove heater? Apparently much better for shed use as the heat is more instant and less latent.

You need a log burner with a back boiler. You could have the burner outside and a radiator inside.
