Cabin stove.

This is my stove. I bought it online at Cabellas along with a 12′ propane hose and regulator. I drilled a hole in the floor using a 1″ spade Bit and a cordless drill; the 1″ bit was to big but it was the smallest size spade bit I had. Since there is very little clearance under that side of the cabin, barley enough to get my hand in, I tied a thin rope off inside and dropped the other end down the hole. Then I reached under and grabbed the rope and tied it to the inside end of the hose. Then I went inside and pulled it in. I stuffed foil around the gap around the hole and the hose.

I have it hooked up to a 30 lb propane tank outside. I think this will last me all winter, but I have lots of spares if it doesn’t. The stove simmers well, yet it also has a high 15,000 BTU output.

Update: It’s March 27th and the stove has worked well all winter. I’m still on the same 30 gallon propane thank that I originally hooked it up to.

Update: On October 30th, almost a year after I hooked it up, my 30lb propane tank finally ran out.
