dry wood heat

===============
I tried to edit the above post, had this all typed in and it wouldn't let me, so you'll have to live with a double post and the new improved version here...
I've corrected a few wrong word errors and expanded on some descriptions,

then I edited it and removed much of the double posting, just left the changes.
===============
The dry heat concept is due to the overwhelmingly hot surface (due instead of do, I hate it when I type a correct but wrong word)

I have a Cole woodstove, about 1 cubic foot or so. I removed it from the 30 footer and I'm putting it on my 45 footer but need to find or build another for the rear cabin.

I would transport the cardboard "wood box" on my kayak without any problem. It wasn't very big. I always anchor out if possible.

At home I have this neat little thing to help light the fire. I found it at an auction or fleamarket. Inside the bucket is old drain oil or diesel and a 3 inch diameter stone ball that has a bolt through it as a handle that fits the slot.

I've never had a problem with bugs.
