I very much doubt that there are any canoers or kayakers who've put wood
stoves in their boats, so I fail to see why you included
rec.boats.paddle.touring in your posting.

If charcoal burning hand warmers are not wood heaters, perhaps you'd
prefer a New Found Land and Labrador wooden stove? "Gives good
heat, can burn for 24 hours, b'y. Replacement stoves, cheap."

(The classic "Newfie wooden stove" is a packing crate, empty, with
smoke pipe. They can be burned only once. Deluxe versions come
stuffed with wadded up Globe and Mail newsprint press rejects and
roll ends (insert most hated newspaper name, here) "Kindling
included, easier to light, b'y"

Do any wood burners use a 2 liter Sprite bottle of water with a hole
poked in the cap for a class "A" fire extinguisher, parked right
next to the wood stove? Does it save insurance costs?

Haw!

This is the third time I have tried to say this and if it does not go
through then I'll deep six this site. There is a solid fuel heater
NEWPORT by Dickinson. It looks like any other propane or diesel heater
bulkhead mounted. I have one and use sterno which works fine. A friend
has one and uses selfstarting charcoal to start cannel coal, which is a
fireplace coal. We only haul our boats for maintenance and need some
BTU's in the winter months.

We have had a Newport Dickinson solid fuel heater on the boat for
several years. Can't be beat. But if it's wood you plan to burn you
better have a huge woodpile. This thing will go through a twenty foot 2 X
4 in an hour while glowing cherry red and really heating up the place. We
eventually settled on a mix of real charcoal (avoid briquettes like the
plague -- what's in those things anyway?) and pea size anthracite coal.
We had to install a fan on the front of the ash drawer to provide a
forced draft to keep the coal burning. The fan is a Radio Shack computer
fan. The fire will burn for hours and generates very little ash. Just
poke it once in awhile and add bits of coal and charcoal. Fire tending is
in itself a relaxing occupation. And nothing equals the glow and warmth
of a real fire as compared to the anemic flame of a diesel fired heater.

Try larger coal - less draught restriction - and always coal that is
rounded not broken & flattened in shape (same reason & getting harder
to find). Either way it sounds like a dangerous idea; coal gas with
the inadequate natural draught from a short boat stack offers deadly
possiblitites.
