How to Build a Small Wood Burning Heater Wood burning heaters are an efficient and eco-friendly way to heat small cabins. Picking a stove that is correctly sized for the space to be heated will prevent overheating (which wastes fuel and causes pollution of the air). Consult a reputable dealer to get guidance on the heating capacity. How to Build a Small Wood Stove Wood stoves are a great alternative to gas or electric heaters. They are a safe natural method of heating your home and can be used for cooking as well. To make your own wood stove, you'll require some materials and basic tools. This guide will walk you through the steps of building a small wood stove from beginning to end. You will first need to decide on a suitable location for the stove. This will determine the point at which the chimney pipe will leave the shed. It is recommended that you mark the area using an eraser or masking tape prior to beginning construction. This will provide you with a better idea about how the stove will fit in the space, and also how far it will be from the walls and ceiling. You will need to prepare your hearth once you have selected the area. This involves putting the fire bricks and some protective materials on the hearth. This will protect your stove from damage caused by soot or ash. You will want to fire up your stove a few times before installing it. This will allow it to undergo a couple of cooling and heating cycles that will reveal any leaks. When deciding where to place your stove in your shed, it's important to also check the manufacturer's specs. This will tell you how much space you need to give combustibles and how close the stove can be set up to the wall, ceiling and the stove pipe.
