id like to put my 2BO into a 200 sq foot tiny cabin.

(broken link removed to https://www.lauritz.com/en/auction/morsoe-braendeovn-model-2bo/i3584600/)

is this overkill? i bought this years ago and have only now a place to put it. id love to be able to use it but, ive got it [;aced in there now and it just seems a bit big, and thats with no walls or insulation

i am just trying to get the place heated asap - would i be better off going for something like this:

Hello , I am in the same kind of situation . I have a 300 sq ft cabin that I am looking for a good way to heat occasionally ( cold winters ) . Woodstock has their new survivor stove now .....https://www.woodstove.com/index.php/new-survival-hybrid .... which might work but with such a small space and if it will be well insulated, a wood stove is a challenge . You can buy a much smaller stove but then you would need to load it frequently . I have plenty of hardwood on the property and even though it seems to be just wrong to not have a woodstove , I might just go with electric or propane heat . A thermostat would be a plus .............
 
Yes it's serious overkill, unless the cabin is going to need to be brought up from stone cold to a comfortable temp on weekends. In that case having extra BTUs is a good thing. It takes a lot of extra heat to warm up all the mass of the cabin from low temps.
