Sardine

| Tracy

No, I’m not calling our tiny house names – I’m talking about our soon-to-be tiny woodstove! We just put in an order for one!!!

The “Sardine” is made by Navigator Stove Works, a small, independent shop who builds made-to-order marine (i.e. originally made for sailboats) iron woodstoves.  And, these stoves are freakin’ adorable.  The “Sardine” model is their smallest stove, measuring 12 x 12 x 11 inches.  I am so overcome-by-cuteness in love with this stove.  And, I haven’t even yet seen it in real space – only photos (click here or the link above to see some of these heart-stealing photos).

I’ve been coveting one of these stoves since I first saw a picture of one in a tiny house years ago.  I’ve been threatening to just go ahead and buy one for years in preparation for the potential, one day maybe, for us to build a tiny house.  Eli’s kept me in check — until now!  With the tiny house build now underway, I just couldn’t hold out any longer.  I had to get our Sardine ordered!  Now, I just must endure the difficult lesson in patience as I await it’s arrival in approximately 4-6 months (since these are made by hand, Navigator Stove Works estimates they can make two stoves per week – and their stoves are popular!  So, it looks like we’re some months out on the first-come, first-serve build list).  Oh, will I be posting photos when it arrives.  Counting down the days…

  1. They are attractive and cute looking. I go with Barb and will look to see if I can find a tiny hatchet lying around in my multi-purpose garage for you guys.

  2. I’ve heard there have been some questions of our Sardine color choice following Eli sharing my post on his Facebook page. An important detail I omitted! We’re traditionalist folks (okay, maybe we can’t say that when we’re building a tiny house…), so went with the normal black cast iron. We did go with the window on the front upgrade, though!

  3. Tiny stoves require tiny stacks of wood. Maybe a tiny hatchet would do the trick.
