Also, there are small electric heaters now that have real looking flame effects such as this infrared electric fireplace. Having a warm room with a real looking fireplace still feel more realistic. Helpful list though!

I have a Dickinson Alaskan version of the diesel stoves for sale on craigslist. Check it out instead of wood. Less dust and maintenance

I’m looking for tiny, tiny woodstove. It’s autumn 2011… and those prices have skyrocketed. Base price Sardine stove, no extras, is now $1090 plus tax & shipping. Oy.

I built a 12X20 “shed” in my back yard and am considering the options. I heat my main house with wood, it’s about 800 square feet of old post and beam, possibly an old barn converted into a house which I’ve been fixing up over the years. The Shed replaces the bedroom I tore off the house because it was rotted and poorly built. The backup heat source is a miller kero furnace which I hate and rarely use. I will probably go with a woodstove but also am thinking about a direct vent propane unit and would seriously love to have radiant floor heat. There is an insulated crawl space which I can get under but will be a pain. I’ve also considered building a heat grabber. I’d like to spend as little as possible but still stay warm in the Beautiful blistery cold northeast, upstate NY.

I am building a tiny house of 200 sq ft (10′x20′) with a story and a half. I want to go electric heat on both levels, just wondering what the best idea would be ?

I’m renovating/upgrading an ’80s era 14 x 60 mobile home in the Pacific NW, and am loving all the info on your web site. In my retirement, I downsized from a 2400 square foot house. Rather than building a house, I built a 16 x 22 violin shop (yes, I make violins), and am planning to put in one of those tiny wood-burning boat stoves to burn my wood scraps and make it cozy when I’m working on instruments. (Currently I use one of those electric oil/radiator type heaters to keep continuous heat/humidity when I’m not working out there.) Eventually I will convert the shop to my living space. My ultimate goal is to be off grid and totally self-sufficient on my 1.5 acres.
Thanks for this great web site and all the information, links, etc. I’m getting loads of ideas for both the mobile home and the shop!
