wood burning stoves

[triple b]

I just bought some recreational property in NE alberta which has a 12 foot by 12 foot bunkhouse on it. The only thing missing is a small woodburning stove ( the story is that someone broke in and stole the old one). Anyways what I am asking is what should I be looking for in a new one or does anyone know of a good manufacturer/retailer in the Edmonton area?

Check Canadian Tire first. They have good units and decent prices. I heat my place with one I bought there all winter. That small of a shack won't take much.

If you are out in the boonies, the fire code may not apply, or may not apply as rigorously as in the cities/towns...

Regardless, there are good quality used stoves available in Edmonton or Calgary... These cities building codes/bylaws make older stoves unusable and these generally go into the after market (ie bargainfinder).

As for chimney, these can be expensive but its best to do them right... Best place to buy chimney and black pipe components is Ecco Plumbing in Edmonton or Calgary... The Edmonton location is at 14760 - 116th Ave., Edmonton, AB, T5M 3G1 and the phone number is (780) 479-1946.

If you have a company or a friend who has a company, particularly if it is in the construction, plumbing, electrical or gas fitting end of things, you can get a significant discount over retail pricing... sometimes over 50 percent...

Good luck

X2 on Crappy Tire, I picked one up there on sale last fall for my Cabin. It is called the Maple Leaf, works great and was 209 plus tax. My Cabin is 12 x 16, so about the same size. Whatever you get make sure you can adjust the air or you'll be cooked out in no time in a small cabin like ours.

I can vouch for Homesteader's stove! That thing was so friggin' hot, I had to keep the Keith's about 8 feet away from the cabin to keep it at the right temperature. It was so hot - every whitetail in the area disappeared.

I have used the air tight ones you get at campers village. They work great. Dampers on the front of the stove as well as the chimney! Check them out forsure!

Stony Plain Coop. Not sure on prices.

20 years ago Stony Plain Coop had the best prices on woodstoves (model for model) in the province. 2 years ago my friend did a lot of shopping around and bought his from them as well - so I assume not much has changed.

fire reflecting on ash pan

Stoves should burn vertical, I do not know what happened for the style to change to horizontal. Most radiation from a horizontal stove is up and down not outward to the body beside the fire. One room school houses all over Alberta had tall vertical stoves or pot belly stoves in homes

The stove in the picture can burn a load of wood slow and hot from the top down. The potbelly could not do that because it was not air tight at the bottom. This stove has an internal baffle that makes the cooking surface hotter and stops sparks (no spark arrestor needed). You can make one for yourself, I have the pattern. you find the can and tin snips. Check my album on the forum.

I have the stove indicated in this brochure the 20'. I like it and it get my 12X14 Tent comfortable even in -15 weather.

There are two thing about mine you have to get up at night and add wood since it will burn out before morning and if you stock it full and make it burn hot the cover gitters a little bit. If you get this stove get the biggest one you can get and I put a rock on the cover so it stops gittering when I make it burn hot.

And they are tough unit too, my buddy ran over it with his quad by accident and I hit it with my truck once but it is still working as good as new.

I was recently at the Edmonton Boat and Outdoorsman Expo and came by this guy who makes thick potbelly stoves. Pretty cool little uprights. I'm looking for a pellet stove but these were neat-

Yup, checked those out and entered the raffle. Nice units!

Some of those designs are compact enough to install in a utility trailer... Hmmmm...
