FAQ

Are Stoke & Embr Stoves certified in any way? 

No, they are not. Most applications for a mini wood stove are mobile and do not require certifications or have codes to follow, do your research to make sure our stoves are right for you, and use at your own risk.

Can these be used for saunas?

Yes, they can! Contact me if you would like a Nomad Stove with a rock basket. However, I will have a sauna specific stove by June of 2024.

What kind of stove pipe should I use? 

The Nomad Stove has a 3" collar. It is recommended that you use 3" double wall stovepipe. You can buy this as well as other flue parts at https://www.tinywoodstove.com/store/#3-inch-parts or www.dickinsonmarine.com

Can I use larger stove pipe? 

Yes, you can. However, 3" is ideal as it doesn't create too big of a draft for the small stove. This means more heat is kept in the stove. If you use an adapter to use larger stove pipe, you should also install a stove pipe damper.

Can I vent the stove pipe out a wall?

Kind of... 3" stove pipe must always be vented through a ceiling with no elbows to ensure maximum airflow. If using 4" or 5" stove pipe, you can introduce elbows into the flue system as well as vent out of a wall.

Can you do other customization?

Depends on what you're looking for! Get in touch and we can discuss further.

What fuel source do these burn?

You should only burn dry/seasoned firewood or natural fire briquettes with no glue in them. Fire briquettes can produce a longer, more efficient burn than firewood. The Nomad Stove can take firewood up to 9.5" long.

Can I pickup locally?

Yes! We love fulfilling local orders. Please select "local pickup" when checking out

Will the fire last through the night?

Unfortunately the reality with mini wood stoves is that they will die out before the morning, even if fully loaded before bed

Do these come with firebricks installed?

No, they do not. You can always add them though

Do you install stoves?

No, we dont

What should be behind and below my stove?

It is recommended to only install your stove where nearby surfaces are non-combustable materials, including below it. If possible, creating air gaps between surrounding non-combustible surfaces is ideal for heat dissipation. 

Can I bolt down my stove?

Yes, all stoves come with mounting tabs

Do I need to clean the chimney?

Yes, it is recommended that you clean your chimney every few weeks towards the beginning of its use. This will give you an idea of how quickly creosote builds up.
