I have quite literally spent the entire day today(about 6 hours) looking for a tiny stove.  I have tons of 6 inch double wall/insulated stainless pipe and accessories.  My hope is to put in the penetration with the 6 inch stuff and have it ready to adapt to whatever I install.  However, I am having issues finding any little stoves small enough for a space this small.  FYI it is currently just a framed up 12x12 building wrapped with plywood.  BUT it will be insulated and drywalled as well as sided properly as soon as I get the time.  BUT I am looking for a heat source that is pref. wood, small enough for the space, and is not some terribly cheap amazon camp stove thing.

I thought I found one with the Guide Gear stove ~200 bucks, but the reviews do not please me, mostly the thinness of the metal causing warping and air gaps and the thing apparently is a smoke machine.

I was thinking rocket mass or just rocket heater but am not sure I can get one made small enough that will work.  Perhaps someone has a guide or blueprint for one?  I made a test RMS with 6 inch everything and it would be a lot for this tiny space...I think.

Mostly I am just needing a sound board but I am absolutely open to ideas.  TY

Hi Will,
maybe this thread could help you:

It might be a similar situation, I pointed Susan towards the "Cottage Rocket" in that thread.
