My family’s place up on a lake in Southern Maine is being rebuilt. We will have about 1,200 square feet of living space to heat, and we are putting a stove in there. I am pushing for an Englander as I love mine, but it’s probably too much stove for that space, and I’ve always loved the old Fishers, I wanted one in my house, but my hearth wasn’t deep enough. I’m thinking a Baby Bear Fisher would be a great camp stove, but I’ve heard they can be tough to get cruising along and can be finicky. Coaly if you’re out there, what do you think of Baby Bears? I think a Mama would be too much stove for the modestly sized camp.

Is the cabin going to be heated at all when no one is there? If not you cant underestimate the ammount of heat it will take to bring the place up to temp. I think it is a good place for an old innefficent tank like a fisher but i think a baby may struggle to bring the place up to temp in a reasonable ammount of time.
Maybe a little, but your point is taken. Maybe a Mama Bear wouldnt be too much in January when the place is freezing cold.
