US Stove Company 14 Inch Caribou Backpacker Small Camp Wood Stove

This stove features a manual door damper for heat output adjustment, not a thermostat, meaning it cannot maintain a fixed temperature autonomously. The operator would need to monitor the stovepipe temperature and manually adjust the air intake. We do not have a published BTU rating or heating-area rating for this stove, as it is designed as a portable camp and tent stove, not a whole-space heating appliance. Therefore, we cannot confirm the steady temperature it would produce in a 10x6 enclosed shed. The owner's manual for this stove specifies the following minimum clearances for enclosed installations: 36 inches from the back wall, side walls, and corners; 60 inches above the stove to the ceiling; and it must be placed on a non-combustible floor. It also requires a minimum 20 square inch fresh-air opening for combustion air, even with an external vent pipe. The stove is intended for outdoor use or installation in a canvas wall tent with a proper stove jack, and its use in a wood shed as a fixed structure is not addressed. Given the required clearances and the compact size of a 10x6 space, along with the fact that this is a wood-burning appliance within an enclosed structure, we strongly recommend consulting a local NFI Certified Professional to review your planned setup before installation. They can help ensure proper clearances, ventilation, and safe operation.
