Has anybody had experience of fitting a solid fuel stove in either a caravan or mobile home? What where the problems with regards to insulating the heat from sensitive areas, providing a suitable position for the stove and what was the best method of ventilation.
Hi Carter, I may have missed something, but the last caravan I saw fitted with solid fuel was either drawn by a horse or steam engine. A romantic idea of solid fuel,, loved my coal fire. Apart as you say insulation problems, the weight would be enormous and can't imagine too many sites accepting it.
There was a guy near here who made a solid fuel stove from an old gas bottle. Ideal size, and he just kept it away from anything inflammable and set it in a sheet of steel. Flue was a 4" pipe which protruded about 12" above the roof.

I like the odd drink. Five is odd, seven is odd, nine is odd...........
I have had experience with boats and did fit a stove in a fibreglass boat.There are lots of small sealed stoves on the market,(boat yards) I used heat resistance marble affect sheets behind the flue and directly behind the stove.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
