I have contacted this seller and will be going to check this out today ((broken link removed to http://houston.craigslist.org/app/2591376963.html)). I would just like some opinions on this as I am new to woodburning stoves, but am looking for a cook/heating stove for a 24' diameter geodesic dome shelter @ geoshelters.com.
From the seller: "The total weight is 154 lbs. However, it separates into 3 diferent pieces for easier handling. The fire box and the top are made of thick cast iron. The dimensions are: 28'' across the front, 26'' across the side, and 54'' tall. The largest size log it will fit is aproximatelly 6'' in diameter by 18'' long. The burn time depends alot on the type of wood you use, but I think an average time would be two to three hours. Smoke does not escape into the room when the the stove is closed up. As far as the smallest area you could put it in, the only answer I can offer is that you can control how hot the stove gets, and of course if you don't want the room too hot you keep a small fire."
Should I be concerned about the burn time? How do people keep a fire going through the night anyway--what should I look for? Do you see any red flags about the stove?
ThaNK YoU!!
