I have a buddy building a bus who wants to put in a wood stove. I know there are a lot of
hi tech catalytic wood burning stoves out there - some I've even seen that capture the heat so effectively that the
vent pipe can actually be made of PVC! But my guess is most are WAY too big for a bus...
anyone have practical knowledge?
I have absolutely no experience with those stoves, but pellet stoves have a simple flu and work well. I would consider one if I was designing for cold weather camping. I wood stove could be an option too. Haven't some of the megabuck units had plain fireplaces in them. Your insurance company might not like the idea though if you decided to tell them.
By the way, I hope it is not this woodstove. I like the part about it becoming transparent.

You might try a marine catalog as there are many boats with wood burning stoves and with a small double pipe and a item called a charley noble which is a vent cap they are quite compact and would work well in a bus. John
You might look at these, they also make diesel versions.

BTC,
I have looked but can't find the stoves you are talking about. Do you know the link?
Frank,
The Dickinson site does not load properly for me. Maybe it does not support Firefox or something.
