A buddy had a camperised Dodge van with a very small wood stove in the back of the van. It was bolted to a metal plate that was welded to the floor. The chimney went out through an insulated ring set into a hole in one of the back doors --- and there were brackets on the outside to keep the chimney stable. He was a musician who spent most of the year travelling from gig to gig and living in the van. Think I'll stick to a Plat cat --- but the woodstove was pretty cool (so to speak) and sure did keep the van warm. Cheers, Doug |
