Solid Fuel Heater for Newport

I know this heater is for boats, but it is the perfect size for an RV. Easily heats 400 sq ft. Products like this are the reason I have been a loyal Amazon shopper for over 13 years now. Never ceases to amaze what I can buy here.

I am only giving four star because I notice on the top of the stove where the flue fitting is held with two phillips screws I continually see flame when the fire is burning? I purchased the stove two weeks ago and the install in my converted cargo trailer was quite easy, being over cautious of wood stoves I have used double corrugated steel panels spaced 1" away from the walls and put a 12x12 heat shield on the ceiling with 1" spacers. I have check the temperature all around the stove and chimney with a laser thermometer and find no area getting to hot. Also have a fan pointed at the ceiling that I switch on to get the warm air flowing. Like I say the only issue I have is the one described above and that does allow some smoke to escape into the room, I am hoping the Dickinson reads this review and will offer some suggestion? I was thinking of sealing it with exhaust pipe tape but really do not want to mess up the nice look of the stove.UPDATE: After a few weeks of using the stove I am happy with the heat it puts out, a few small pieces of firewood and 10 minutes later my converted cargo trailer is toasty warm. My only complaint is that even after Dickinson replaced the piece that fits on the top of the stove to the stove pipe I still get a little smoke coming into the trailer. I have attached a photo of the one they replaced, you will notice it is just spot-welded and leaves gaps for smoke to come through. The new one I received is a little better but is still spot welded and allows some smoke to come to the room. It would seem that if they welded the whole thing together it would solve the issue, I don't understand why they don't??? I have four feet of stove pipe and a good draft so that is not the issue.

Easily the prettiest thing in my tiny house. Absolutely love it. Insulate your space well and this thing will cook you all night if you ask it too. Couldn’t be happier.

Love the look with the window . But not getting a ton of heat and it burns whatever fuel you put in very quickly. Have to feed it every 20-30 minutes with wood says 2 hours for charcoal but seemed more like 1 . Needed the stove pipe fan to move the heat . For the price I was hoping to use this in the tiny house in winter but if the temp drops around zero don’t think this would handle it . I will find out next year .

Hard to find installer for Cabin.Very limited use.

Recieved in a timely manor. Built as described and appears to be an excellent value. I'll write more once it's installed.

Works perfectly, easy to use, warms my little cabin in 10 minutes using charcoal. Highly recommended for small spaces.

Installed this in our 36' sailboat. I've found that it really requires a fan to circulate the heat otherwise the hot air goes straight up and the ceiling above the heater gets really hot. I mean REALLY hot. The fan was a game changer and circulates the air. This unit will reliably keep our uninsulated fiberglass boat 25° above the outdoor temperature. I have been buying campfire wood from home improvement stores and sawing the logs in thirds so the will for in the stove. That seems to give the most bang for the buck. A $4 bundle of firewood will keep the boat warm for 2 days. All that said, the unit is well made and attractive and there is nothing like going below decks on a cold and blustery day to find a cozy little wood burning heater merrily pumping out the BTUs. Probably not for wintering over in the high latitudes but will definitely take the chill out of the morning air.
