The Tiny House Dragon Stove!

Our current backorder delivery date is revised to December 31, 2020 for this item.

This small footprint stove is a clean-burning secondary gasification cook and heat stove. It has both independent primary and secondary ventilation damper controls to ensure efficient combustion and duration of burn by allowing oxygen and air to be introduced a second time at the top of the firebox. This stove is cost-effective and ideal for tiny homes and other small structures that want a sustainable, clean-burning firebox design. It features a large easy to clean glass viewing door and a functional cooktop, in an elegant, small footprint. The viewing glass is easy to clean with dual gaskets mounted on the solid cast iron door. One gasket on the glass and one on the door.

This beauty has a cast iron door and a heavy-duty 3 gauge thick plate cooktop (1/4"). The cooktop features a 6 & 7/8" round cooktop cutout for frying, boiling, using a wok, or other high firepower cooking. The plate can be left in for medium firepower cooking or low firepower cooking. This versatile stove performs well too, with a bed of embers is established and simmering along at low firepower. The robust firebox measures 12" wide x 8 &1/4" deep x 10" in height. The Tiny House stove utilizes 4" standard chimney pipe and emissions vent out directly through the back of the stove. Simply shove 4" stove pipe on the back of male stove pipe collar.

Deb's Tiny House 2019 Review (after 2 seasons of use):

Really great stove for small structures. Love the secondary combustion and pretty much everything about this wood stove. It would be a challenge (if even possible) to find another stove that gives anywhere close to the functionality that this one does, especially for the price! Great job Silverfire, keep doing what you do so well!

Khyla & Richard Tiny House 2019 Review:

We bought the Tiny House Dragon fireplace edition for our 13 ft. 4 season canvas tent. It fits perfectly and the window adds such a wonderful taste to our nighttime experience. The tent heats up quick and uses less wood than our old cast iron. It doesn't stay warm all night but enough to be comfortable until the morning. The gasifier double burns the smoke, so clean emissions! I can cook anything on the top. Pak choy, popcorn, tea, sweet potatoes, etc.., works great and very pleased with cost and investment!

Many of our customers are DIY and self-reliant minded. We see all types of chimney installations and adaptations. We don't make specific recommendations or provide installation services. We have seen folks use gas duct vent pipe, chimney liner, self-fabricated chimneys & fittings, in addition to standard pellet and wood stove chimney pipe. Please install a CO monitor when burning any wood-fired device indoors. They are inexpensive and offer important protection.

Interested in extending the duration of burn and saving wood? See our Accessories link and review our optional FireMizer, ideal for use in our stoves when providing heat or for long-duration cooking.

Unfortunately, both larger bulky wood & pellet stoves are too hot for smaller structures and typically offer no cooking surface. Additionally, the expense is often unreasonable. Bottom line most pellet or wood stoves that offer secondary gasification and re-burn at the top of the firebox with clean combustion are expensive an not viable for use in a small footprint structures, marine, or with manufactured home use.

Many smaller micro gasifier heating stoves we have tested offered no adequate cooktop surface and required fuel to be fed into the firebox every 2 hours or less due to lack of thermal mass, that negatively impact sleep cycles. All the micro gasifiers we have tested were actually designed for marine use, with raised wall installation. This design means your floor is area cold, due to lack of thermal radiation (heat rises!). The many of the micro stoves currently offered are over twice the price of our Tiny House Dragon and have no meaningful cooktop and inadequate thermal radiation due to lack of mass.

Other small space, cylinder shaped stoves marketed for tiny homes we have tested have no high firepower and low firepower cook top control, nor have an adequate cooktop surface. Some are over 10 times the price of our Tiny House Dragon and have less firebox viewing area to enjoy the wonderful secondary burn as seen with our efficient cook & heat stove.

There was nothing on the market between to address cooking and heating both, that offered clean burning secondary combustion in a small footprint. That is till now!

The Tiny House SilverFire Dragon Stove is perfect for smaller spaces! The clean burn is mesmerizing, with 2 rows of dancing secondary combustion at the top rear of firebox through the large 8 &1/2" x 9" viewing glass.

The 95 lb of thermal mass, means adequate heat on cold winter nights. We have found the Tiny House stove is capable of heating up to 750 square feet comfortably. Of course space heating is variable in regard to insulation R values, season and wood fuel type. The Tiny House Dragon can produce burn times exceeding 5 hours when seasoned dry hardwood is used.

The Tiny House Stove is 15 & 3/4" wide x 13 & 1/2" deep x 19 & 3/4" tall. Flat overall cooktop surface id 15 & 3/4" wide x 11 & 5/8" deep. Our cooktop area is significantly lager than other small space stoves we have reviewed.

All our our SilverFire stoves can be top lit or bottom lit. We find top lighting the stove is most efficient, cleaner and easier than bottom lighting our stoves. The fuel pile can burn downward like a candle and it is easier to light in this fashion. Simply take stove fuel (small logs, kindling, etc...), and place in combustion chamber with smaller tinder on top. Top light tinder, its that easy.

Some folks prefer to take a little pellet gel, alcohol gel and squirt in small amounts to establish the flame. Others prefer tack cloth, impregnated cotton balls, char cloth and other fire starters. What ever you are comfortable with is fine. Lots of fire starters and techniques out there.

We occasionally are questioned about coal, in addition to biomass for fuel. Coal burns very hot and the stove was not designed for coal. Although coal could be lit and place in stove, it has the potential to fatigue the stove metals and potentially shorten stove life. Coal is higher in volatiles, pollution, and CO. We do not recommend coal or charcoal in stoves to insure as long a stove life as possible.

Note: All stoves burn cleaner with dry fuel. Any stove with a chimney is designed to vent emissions outdoors. Our chimney stoves are designed for use with dry fuel, fuel with increased moisture content produces smoke and results in inefficient combustion and increased soot formation. Our small portable biomass stoves without chimneys are designed for dry biomass, however still function, though less efficiently using wet fuel. Burning fuel wet fuel is irresponsible and should be avoided if possible.

Tips to Prevent Soot Build Up on Wood Stove Glass:

There’s nothing quite like a beautiful wood stove fire during the colder seasons. Soot build-up on wood stove glass can decrease the visual appeal of a wood stove fire, and it can become rather laborious to have to constantly clean the glass every time you have a fire.

Here are some easy tips to prevent soot build-up on your wood stove glass. Cleaner glass will add greater ambiance to a room and allow you to enjoy more fires in your wood stove before having to clean the glass again.

Tips to Prevent Soot Build Up on Wood Stove Glass

• Always burn well-seasoned wood in your wood stove. Burning wood that hasn’t been well-seasoned can decrease the quality of your fire and cause it to be “smoky.” Smokier fires produce more soot build up on the glass.
• Try burning harder woods like oak, cherry, or walnut, and avoid burning woods known for their higher sap content.
• If your wood stove has a heat setting, try turning the heat controls up a few notches. Hotter fires will keep your glass cleaner.
• Allow enough oxygen to vent into your wood stove. Many of the newer models are already built to help with the airflow. Check the chimney/vent to make sure it’s clean and in a good position for airflow.
• If you’re burning smaller fires, try adding some more wood to the woodstove. Smaller fires can’t always produce enough heat inside the wood stove for the soot to burn off the glass.
• Position burning matter closer to the front glass on the woodstove. This will put the heat source closer to the glass.

Enjoy Beautiful Fires from Your Wood Stove All Season Long

You can’t completely prevent soot from accumulating on the glass, but these tips should help increase the time between cleanings. Soot build-up on wood stove glass is less of a problem for newer models than older models, but regardless of how old your wood stove is, you can still experience beautiful fires from your wood stove all season long.Helpful stove glass cleaning links:
