Mini wood-burning cookstove for a tiny house

Hello, there are two things that really motivate me about cabin living: the cabin itself and the wood stove that goes inside it.
I live in France, and there are no manufacturers of mini wood-burning cookstoves here. So I had to learn how to weld and build many prototypes to design this stove.


The customization work and the installation of the side viewing window were carried out by a friend.


The main challenge was to reduce the size of the cookstove while maintaining its cooking capabilities. For the firebox, I drew inspiration from workshop sawdust stoves, with an air intake from the top. A primary air supply also comes through the ash drawer. The stove’s output is around 4 to 6 kW.

To achieve an efficient oven with flue gases passing only over the top, I installed a terracotta bread oven floor in the lower section. It stores heat after about 30 minutes, and the oven can reach temperatures of up to 300°C.

Thanks you for reading

This is beautiful work. The tiny cabin, the wood cookstove, and the care in every detail create something really special. I honestly think the result is as inspiring as it is functional. Designing such a compact stove while keeping real cooking capacity is no small achievement. Respect — this is craftsmanship, intelligence, and soul in the same project. Thank You.

That's a beautiful stove. There's a lot more skill involved there than just welding.

Rémy,

This is a classic French beauty reminding me of "La Cité des enfants perdus" aesthetics.
Please share with us some pictures of the internals.
