I'm looking to heat about 500 sq ft of shop space and I'm looking for a real small EPA stove.

Thank you,Hiram :)
 
Here is some great info from http://www.kk.org/cooltools/archives/000666.php

The original Very Small Woodstove is the Jotul 602, from Norway. This model is a mere 12 inches wide, 19 inches deep. They are found most often in cottages and cabins in the woods, where the 602's good looks are a highlight. It's been around almost forever. Jotul claims over 1 million of these have been manufactured. Waterford and Garden Way produced a near identical stove called the Reginald 101, but it is no longer in production, but available used, as is the Jotul 602. Although very small it can heat amazingly well.

But the tiniest very small woodstoves are those built for boats. These are designed for very tight quarters, and often have a railing on the top to keep pots from rolling off. Here is a typical one from the Canadian coast measuring all of 12 inches by 12 inches. They are made of cast iron and porcelain and are so cute and enchanting, folks have thought of getting a sailboat just so they need one.

The third option for extremely small woodstoves are those manufactured for camping. Sometimes known as wall tent stoves, or pack trail stoves, or ice shack, or even shepherding stoves, these are meant for nomadic or seasonal camps. Like the marine varieties they double as cookstoves. More expensive varieties are produced in titanium, the cleverest are even collapsible, but the cheapest are steel, and they are as plain and basic as camp coffee.

YES
 
Yes, I would go w/ a Jotul 602 if I ever needed a little guy. It's got style up the ying-yang.

With a million out there, it is one you do see used on craigslist very often.
 
Makes me want to can the the heating system on the boat and put the 12x12 on there. Wonder if mounting it a 1/4" from fiberglass and the fuel cells would pose any problems.
