What Are Mini Wood Stoves?

Mini wood stoves are compact metal stoves designed to burn wood efficiently. They’re perfect for heating small spaces like cabins, boats, and tiny houses. The flame and heat output are controlled by adjusting airflow, which gives you excellent control and reduces fuel usage.

Mini wood stoves are ideal for off-grid, minimalist, and sustainable living. Here’s why:

• Low Material Footprint: Made of simple materials like stainless steel, with minimal environmental impact.

• Quick Setup: No complicated gas or electrical systems—just install and burn.

• Efficient Heating: Burn less wood, get more heat.

• Off-Grid Ready: No reliance on rising gas or electric costs.

• Moisture Control: Helps reduce condensation and regulate humidity inside small homes.

Real-Life Experience: Heating an Off-Grid Cabin in Oregon

Last fall, we installed the Cubic Cub in a 170 sq ft off-grid cabin just outside Bend, Oregon. With overnight temperatures dropping to 34°F, we were curious how well it would perform.

Within 15–20 minutes, the temperature inside had risen nearly 10°F, using just three small split logs. It kept the space cozy all evening with minimal smoke and zero reliance on gas or electricity. As a bonus, the Mini Roaster let us cook eggs and cinnamon rolls right on top of the stove—perfect for an off-grid breakfast.
