hi there, i want to put a cast iron wood coal burning stove in a t25 with a flue to the outside air. any opinions and advice?

many thanks.

Been asked before, for one they need a fair bit of space around them plus you would need a really small un for these vans due to the heat they throw off. Plus do you think your insurance will allow it as a modification????

Just had a butchers at that site.. That's one really cool looking stove, expensive though.

We have one in our tipi tent, its made by helsport. I am not sure I would fancy puttin one in the van;

when its got a couple of logs in it it gets so hot the steel glows red. you would have to keep it at least a foot away from the walls or anything else for that matter. I have had the tent so hot in february that we have had to open the doors.

I have seen people with bigger vans with them, but think it might throw out a bit too much heat for a t25.

As previously stated.Your insurance company might have summat to say about it.Buy a eber or a propex..

Can I really be bothered to look for the usual picture of Charles Darwin ? .... nah.

Will this suffice ian. http://www.darwinawards.com/

Already ruled out.

Thanks for the link though

:S

Hi,
I know of a new design of Gypsy stove (search on fleabay for this) I know the guys who have designed and made them. They are very small and are smokeless too.
Personally, I have told them that I wouldn't have one in a camper as there are too many issues as stated above, but they are worth a look if that is what you really want to do.

not doing it now but will check the link, thanks.

propex? carbon monoxide eek.

Carbon monoxide springs to mind ..... you know small space, propane gas fumes... geddit

petrol eber for sale on the forum for £70

does that need a different petrol tank or can be plumbed into existing? how much juice does it use?
