I am planing to use my fisher baby bear for heat in our cabin. It is 12x32 and I plan to insulate out the wazoo so do you all think this will work OK I am going to put shielding up to get the clearances closer.

We have the bigger Fisher stove at our hunt camp. It puts up a pile of heat . Once the camp gets up to heat , you have to damper it down . Especially at night. camp area 30 x30. Should do a good job depending what size your camp is
Made from 3- 3 foot square road signs, they have hinges joining them. you can adjust them, to suit. Yours will likely work well. I like it that you can burn longer wood, Ours will burn anything , you can lift and get through the door. old243

My neighbor has a Baby Bear and his place is about 20 x 30. We stayed there one night with temps around -30c and windy. After about 4 hrs from a frozen start, we were in shorts and T shirts. Should do just fine.

Also have a papa bear. Insane amount of heat once to temp. The manual says th baby bear can heat an area of up to 1500 sq feet, so at 384 sq feet you may wish you had a pool to cool off...

just me , In my earlier post , which I messed up . I was describing the heat shield that we have around our stove. It is made from 3 salvage road signs, 3 feet by 3 feet. they are attached by hinges . they stand around behind the stove and are adjustable . Great spot to dry wet gloves. Also the price was right. We have a large granite hearth under the stove as well, quite classy. You will like your stove. old243
