So, you want a tiny wood-burning stove, and you want the perfect one for you?
Well, this is a place simply to share the range of different mini wood stoves. We’ve listed 25 of them that are good for RVs, tiny houses, cabins, yurts, boats, sheds, garages, and other living areas.
They are not in any particular order from best to worst, but they are roughly listed in popularity in the USA.
1. Cubic Mini Cub Wood Stove
- Heat Output: 6,000–14,000 BTU (1.8–4.1 kW)
- Max Area Heated: Up to 200 ft²
- Ideal Use: Tiny homes on wheels, boat cabins, RVs (small mobile spaces)
Cubic Mini produce the Cub and Grizzly wood stoves. The Cub is an ultra-compact cast-iron stove (only 11″×12″×10.5″ and 25 lb) built for very small spaces. It features a brick-lined firebox, removable railing (for cooking), and a 3″ flue (insulated) outlet.
The Cub was designed for boats and tiny homes, excels in zones under 200 ft², and has a secondary-combustion airwash for a clean, efficient burn. It is steel-bodied with a thick vermiculite-insulated firebox and Robax glass.
The stove removes moisture from interiors and is far safer than propane heaters. Accessories include flue kits and a mounting bracket (wall or floor), and the top rail can be removed to use the 5″×11″ cooking plate.
2. Cubic Mini Grizzly Wood Stove
- Heat Output: ~6,000–18,000 BTU (≈1.8–5.3 kW)
- Max Area Heated: ~200–400 ft²
- Ideal Use: Slightly larger tiny homes, mid-size RVs or cabins, taller-ceiling spaces
The Grizzly is Cubic Mini’s larger model, sharing construction and materials with the Cub (steel body, cast door, vermiculite insulation) but built taller (13″×15″×12″, ~40 lb). It heats more area – roughly up to a few hundred square feet – making it better for taller-ceiling tiny homes in cold climates.
Like the Cub, it uses 3″ flue pipe (horizontal or vertical exit) and can burn 1′ logs. Its heavier design (steel top plate, ½″ glass, thicker body) allows longer burn times. The Grizzly is popular in DIY van/RV builds and cabins where the Cub’s output is marginal.
It offers the same safety and dryness benefits (secondary burn, air wash, humidity reduction) and can also be used as a cook-top when the top rail is fitted.
3. Tiny Wood Stove Co. Dwarf 3 kW
- Heat Output: 3.0 kW (≈10,200 BTU)
- Max Area Heated: ~250 ft²

The firebox accepts 8–12″ wood, with long burn times possible using adjustable secondary airflow. Known for fast start-up and easy control. Users report reliable heating in tiny structures such as bus conversions. Accessories include legs and a fresh-air adapter.

It’s built with thick, high-grade steel and includes a secondary burn chamber with a deflector plate for more complete combustion and cleaner burn. The stove includes a standard 3″ stovepipe exit, allowing it to use common stovepipe systems.

Construction is thick cast iron with an integrated ashpan and a hot-plate on top. Despite its size, it can keep a boat cabin or small yurt warm. It has no EPA/U.S. approvals (UK-certified only), so it’s typically used off-grid or outdoors.
