I'm planning an elevated deer blind that I want to include a mini wood stove for all day comfort.

Are there any really small and inexpensive wood stoves for this purpose?

Hope you have your prescription for medical marijua filled before you go to the blind. Am I missing something ??

Im starting to wonder if the purpose of this deer blind has a damn thing to do with hunting deer. Sounds like the making of a swell man cave.

Why not just purchase the meat from a butcher at this point?
There used to be an honor in taking the life of an animal, feeding on it, and using as much of the animal s possible.
There used to be a time when hunters earned their kill, but alas with the world it is today, everything is the quickest, easiest ways with the most advantage.
Yep, us humans are getting lazier & lazier as the times change.
Ain't advancement & technology grand.
Not pointing to the OP poster, just a general observation.
Nowadays some people think a rifle, scope/laser makes them a skilled hunter.

It's deer hunting, not guarding the tomb of the unknown soldier. I don't know why honor would ever be involved. Plenty of people like to sit in the woods and chill. Plenty of them like Brother Bart couldn't give a hoot if they ever saw, much less shot a deer. Sometimes it's about enjoying the outdoors while harvesting an animal for food, and sometimes it is about napping off a hangover in the woods. I guess they are dishonorable, but most hunters can get behind the idea of using a scope to humanly dispatch an animal, as opposed to 60 year old eyes focusing on iron sights 10 minutes before dawn.

My son and I made this stove for our little 12x20 hunting camp . It took about 2 hrs to make , but a smaller version can be made out a piece of well pipe. I still hunt from climbing tree stands and freeze my "honor" off on a regular basis.

My buddies make fun of me for my time in the woods. If I don't have my 5 year old with me, I'll sit under the same tree squirrel hunting for 5 or 6 hours. I don't care if I only get a couple. I take cat naps, have a snack, have a smoke. drink my coffee. Heck, this weekend (sans son) I even built a small camp fire, just to see the flames and to have something to poke. Safely, of course. Something about sitting in the quiet and watching, listening, etc. Yes, I use scopes on my .22 when hunting fields, 12ga for woods and the .270. Could I kill without a scope? Probably. But not as good. Last thing I want to do is maim something that was meant to be eaten.

I use the time to relax. Same thing with fishing in my post divorce old clunker of a boat. Drift worms thru Oneida lake for hours. Feet up, music on, choice of beverage. Could I catch more power casting, swappin lures, studying barometric pressure? Sure. But then its work. I'm luck enough that on any given day, my feet up method will catch dinner for two. Oneida lake kicks hiney

Theres my stand. Bottom one i bow hunt out of, the top one i gun hunt out of. I ran electricity out to it so i could have electric heat. I tried propane for awhile but it fogged up the windows so bad it was a total pain. I think any wood stove you buy would end up cooking you out of a small space like that and you really can't control the heat output. You'd probably have to fabricate a small stove. I bought a home made one at a rummage sale made out of a 20 lb propane tank but never got around to trying it out, just sits in the shed for now.

When i was a kid i always hunted with my uncle on public land. He was hard core so we'd sit out there and freeze all day and you'd always have idiots walking by messing you up all day long. So i always dreamed of having my own land and my own stand where i didnt have to freeze while not seeing anything all day long

I'm not sure what you mean by this statement. Should I be taking offense?

That is so freaking cool! If that is a propane tank in the corner, I would do everything I could to move it outside building. May just be a matter of a longer hose. I love that set up.
