I belive it is a Sardine. Here's a Tiny Tot:

I too have been searching for a small woodstove to fit in my new 33' Sea Spirit ketch. It doesnt seem to be too hard to the very small woodstoves used for semi-reasonable amounts of money. Watch ebay, ask around, and if you've got the cash to spend, check out http://www.marinestove.com/

For my boat, I need a stove the size of their Halibut, which is around $3000 USD by the time you finish enameling it. It seems to be almost impossible to find a boat stove that is bigger than a tiny tot or sardine, so I'm in the process of building one out of steel.

I dont know if thats a option for you, but it wouldnt be very difficult to build a simple little airtight stove very much like the one you have now (although not as curvey) for a very reasonable amount of money. Let us know what you figure out eh? Best of luck,

Looked at the navigator page and finally figured out what the deck fitting on our boat is, it has a ss vent 5200ed over a lovely cast bronze deck fitting and I couldn't figure out what the deck fitting was from let alone why it had a recess to collect water???

Andrew, they pop up on Craigslist from time to time. Don't see one presently, but several were there about a month ago.

I'm assuming your boat is smaller than mine and doesnt need a big (comparatively) stove like mine. What would make a great little stove about the same size as the Sardine, would be to take a piece of 12" square steel tube with a 1/4" wall or similar, weld on a top and bottom, smokeshelf if you want to get fancy, put a 4" hole or whatever you want in it for the chimney, cut a door in the front and put on a handle and damper. Plus some legs might be a good idea.

I'm building the stove really heavily because I'm going to be using beach (salt) wood. The top of the stove and the smoke shelf will be 3/8" plate, while the rest of the body will be 1/4" plate. The base of the chimney is 4" ID steel pipe with 1/4" walls. Yeah I know theres no handle in the pic, but ehh. I think I'm going to make the door taller, or atleast move it up too. Wood burns best in its own ashes, so theres no reason to put a grate or anything like that inside.

If interested, I have a couple of new old stock wood burning Little Cod boat stoves. They were made by Fawcett Foundry in New Brunswick. I have one humming nicely in my shed.

As far as I know, Navigator Stove works is the only manufacture of wood burning boat stoves at this time. The owner of the company lives on Orcas Island in Washington state and is dedicated to making a quality product. Unfortunatly, he is dealing with a limited market and high manufacturing costs. This, of course, makes this excellent product seem a bit spendy. However, it is basicly the only game in town, if you want a good one. A solid fuel stove will keep your cabin snug and drive out the damp.

The reason that wood stoves, in general, are made of cast iron and not steel plate is, that over time the steel plate will distort. This is not the case with cast iron.

The stove at my Dad's place at Gooseprairie on the other side of Chinook pass is welded plate steel. Has not warped in many years of daily use during the heating season. Come to think of it, most modern wood heating stoves are welded plate steel.
