Hello to the new forum!

Hi, Mostly a lurker from Navitron too, but glad there's somewhere else to talk about the things we talk about.

Welcome Al.

38m Barge, …

Not on the UK canal system, presumably?!

Welcome. Looking forward to some new topics or alternative comments.

Welcome onboard Al, do you have any experience or knowledge of Micro woodstoves for barges? SWMBO & I fancy one for the log cabin. 4mtr x 4mtr? Great you're here.

[AlBargey]

Thanks for the warm welcome,

@Joe, I'm afraid I don't have experience of micro woodstoves, we need to heat 38mx5m.. I did however make my own stove out of a 47Kg gas bottle, and experimented with my own 'clean air wash' over the porthole door and secondary combustion air injection, (Sounds more impressive than it is ) it's currently gathering dust in the corner now as we're moored too close to flats for a woodburner. Maybe check out the narrowboat type forums.. lots of people with experience there.

@Oliver, Yes there aren't many options for boats our size, we don't fit through the locks so we're on tidal waters.

No worries Al, been watching a few Alaskan tv shows and as in 1st year of retirement I quite fancy time in our log cabin. Give Swmbo & myself space around Feb!

I'd like to see a pic of you gas bottle stove if time allows at some point? No worries if not.

What do you want the stove for, Joe ? (OK, burning wood and producing heat )

A 4x4m log cabin (say 3m to roof apex) is a reasonable volume - sort of 4kW to heat ?

There’s some belting small stoves out there - particularly if you wanted to cook/boil a kettle. Come at a price though.

Should start a thread for this question really. Maybe Mod can shift the posts?

I looked into this years ago when I built my 2.4x2.4m "shed" (garden office). Was thinking of getting one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164314245112

But in the end it'd have been too much faff sorting out the chimney exting the shed and too much space would have been taken up so I didn't bother. Now have a storage heater...

[Bugtownboy]

New thread is a good option - probably a question that’ll reoccur.

On it & thanks Lads.
