Off-Grid Heat: Van Fireplace

We have finally committed to a decision for heat, the Dickinson Marine Newport solid fuel heater.  There is going to be a real wood burning fire, in the Van.  A van fireplace!!

We have not seen many fireplaces in Van conversions, but these marine fireplaces are made for boats (obviously), and the Van is kinda a big vessel, so it seems reasonable to put one in the Van.  I can not wait, this is going to be awesome!!

Off-grid heat, here we come!

Check back for the installation process, as we learn as we go.  I will post more info and pictures here.  In the meantime, take a peak at the Dickinson Marine on Amazon, with the link below.
