I Love My Portable Stove

I hate being cold. Aspirations of becoming a 'snowbird' someday still fill my horizon as life travels along. In the meantime, I have developed a new hobby... chopping and splitting wood to stuff into my little camp stove.
It all started last summer as I was cutting up a heap of felled dead oaks on my friends property. The plan was to install a wood burner in her cottage and put all that wood to good use. The search was on to find a bargain wood burner for her. While looking for her wood burner I came across some Mil-Spec camping stoves made for tents... and, that's when the ol' noggin began to do some figgurn'.
Being able to 'fly the coop' for the winter was not looking too promising for the upcoming season. And, there sure is a lot of firewood available where I am settled. And, that little Mil-Spec stove sure looked like it might fit just right with a few modifications. So, I did it.
Today, the temp outside is about 10 degrees (F). I am sitting here in a tee shirt and pajama bottoms with an inside temp of 80 degrees (F)... and, I don't even have this little stove stoked to it's potential.
The manufacturer of the stove would probably not advise the stove for this kind of installation. Actually, my advice is not to put a wood burner in a motor home. It's kinda weird and may not be the safest thing to do. But, for me, it works great and, with a bit of common sense care and caution, confidence against the cold is a go!
As you can see in the pic to the left I am well equipped with staying warm contraptions - wood burner, kerosene heater, electric heater, propane furnace (not shown - OEM built in). I love working this wood burner so much that I may just put off my 'snowbird' plans for a few more years...at least, until the wood runs out.,, or global warming kicks in.. ?
