i remember that old beer swilling fart from maine , who routinely had his 
travels in his early 60's ex-panel van rusty microbus named "old blue" chronicled 
in the Limbo newsletter...  he had a wood burning stove in that thing..  
would drive it out onto a frozen lake, and use it as a ice fishing hut..  i think 
it even had a hole cut in the floor for ice fishing right out the bottom..  
frankly id be a tad bid scared of a red-hot cast iron stove sitting in the 
middle of my vanagon.. between the dangers of CO2 and the fire/melting hazard, 
id opt for a LP or gas heater..
