Their little wood stove is better than nothing of course, but it’s hard not to chuckle when reading that they have to tend it diligently! It’s not my website, but the forum on (permies.com has lots of info, even on a couple who over wintered in a TEEPEE with an RMH in Montana. (Teepees aren’t insulated and have smoke holes up top and ventilation down below, so I’d think a yurt could be positively toasty with much less firewood needed than with a little wood stove!)
