Woodstove for ice fishing camping in the BWCA

    Hey all,
    Just wondering if anybody has a good set-up for a woodstove they use in their ice house. I usually fish alone and have an Eskimo 450xd so there’s plenty of room for a wood stove, which I’ve been thinking about investing in. Relying on propane when you’re up in the boundary waters, with a 4 hour hike in can get stressful but there’s plenty of dead wood around much of the islands so I just randomly thought “hey, I should put a woodstove in my house instead”. The only issue I could see would be having a hot fire all through the night and pulling it out there, since the chimney pipe + stove would take up a whole sled (so now I’d be at 3 sleds). I really like the idea of not being reliant on propane though

    Thanks for the info! I think I’ll probably buy a smaller woodstove soon here and work on designing a new window with welding fabric. It should be interesting space-wise because I have a mini Cooper, so I’ll have to see if I can fit one extra bin in the back!

    Ice fishing and camping out of a mini Cooper is a formidable achievement.
