    Mama and I will be moving to a smaller house this summer and it doesn't have a wood stove. It's about 1000 sqft and has a fairly open floor plan. I checked out some of the smaller EPA stoves at HD and Lowes, but I'm defintely interested in the GrayStove Mini 12. Anyone using one? How good does it work for you? I like the 3" exhaust, the construction, and the small size, but I wonder if it could provide the only heat for a 1000 sqft house.I also wonder what realistic burn times can be obtained? If anyone has any real-world info, I'd appreciate letting me know. I've hit Graystove's site and watched all the videos, but no customer comments. Thanks and Happy Burning!

    This little stove has been talked about a few times here, do a search. I think the last time I looked at it there there was no UL listing, which makes it almost impossible to get insurance for it. It seems like a nice well made little stove. I don't know what you are wanting to do with it, but it will have short burn times since it is so small. If you get one though give us a review, would be a fun stove to play with!

    Thx to those who responded. I have seen and received zero, as in none, customer comments or reviews, so I'm dropping the mini 12 from the running for my new stove (a shame). I emailed the company a couple of days ago asking if there were any customer testemonial. I will post a summary of Graystove's reply if I receive one.
    Let the search continue. :binoculars:

    last update/report. Since I've found no actual users, and neither has Graystove responded to my email inquiry, I'm offically closing down my search for Mini 12 information. Thanks again to the handful of members who responded.
