we are building a 14'x24' cabin on our property in sterling ak. We dont have electric ran to it yet and we plan on stayin in this "cabin" until we build something a bit bigger in 10 years or so, and this "cabin" will be come a super fancy shed and an extra place for friends and family to sleep. We will probably use the cabin 2 or 3 times during the winter just on weekends. Rest of the year the heating will be to just take the edge off in the mornings or in the evenings. We dont really want to have to cut down trees or get a small wood stove since they do take up more room then other heating sources. We wont have electric for a few years probably so that takes out a small toyo. So we are basically down to either a nordic oil drip or a direct vent propane stove. I am leaning towards a direct vent propane heat source beacuse i think they maybe put out heat faster then a oil drip does? We wont be going down when its -20 or anything like that so i dont really have to worry about the propane being an issue and freezing up or not having enough pressure. Also the direct vent propane doesnt need a chimney going up, just a small exhaust hole similar to a toyo. We will have some big deep cycle L-ion batteries for light duty electricty like charging ports and a couple led lights. I have thought about a Planar type stove since they dont take much electricity and can put out some heat (got one in my boat) but they are a bit more expensive then the direct vent propane heaters i believe. thoughts?
