Marine woodstove in a truck??

[CatCaretaker]

Has anyone out there tried one of those small marine-type woodstoves to heat the back of a truck with camper shell? I've heard of people using them in vans...

That's a much better choice than this one:

I have the Dickinson in my van and it works great. I don't see why it wouldn't work as well in a truck camper. As long as you have a place to mount it. It's not very big and the clearances needs are small. You do have to be able to run the intake / exhaust pipe up through the roof though. And have a propane source to run it.

No doubt form and fit will work. It's the functionality I have questions about. Would you have to have the fire completely out before you move on?

Rocket stoves are another similar approach.  I'd use an abundance of caution installing the ventilation in any case.
