I'd like to have a 4 inch chimney that goes out the back preferably

Most modern wood stoves I'm aware of have either 6" or 8" flues.
Some pellet stoves have 4" flues...

Craigslist is a good place to look.
Hearth.com is a fantastic place to get help to figure out what you really need, before you buy something that you don't.

Here's three, 4" pipe, but they vent out of the top. Look for boat (marine) wood stoves.

Sorry, guess I should have figured you were looking for a miniature stove.
Are you planning to put it in a trailer?

You didnt say if you were going use this in a TTT or for a shop etc. But I will assume it will be for a TTT. Having installed stoves in Mobile homes before, they have different type of stoves for them then just any off the shelf stove. The fresh air intake must be from outside generallly thru the floor into the stove where you then control the fresh air. The useable air inside can be quickly used up putting out the fire and whoever is sleeping inside w/o this feature. Yes you could leave a window open, but what if you forget or someone closes it... Just something to keep in mind as you make your choice.
I guess the point is other heat sources have been discussed on here in detail by many who camp in the fridgid winters, the coldest we haveo camped was about 20 in Nevada last fall. we used no heat source other than 2 bodies and stayed nice and toasty.
Just my thoughts.

wow lots of good information
now on to the questions seeing how my area can get to -20 and worse yes I'd like to use this in a TTT I know with blankets and companionship I can stay warm but I have an african grey parrot that likes to come with me and since cuddling is kinda out of the question Image
as forthe out the back feature it makes it easier for the design that I have as I'd like to use a Peltier generator for when we just out Boondocking
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMD4GlzL ... ature=fvwp to give you an idea of what it is
the top surface of the stove would be used for boiling water so I could make coffee and meals that are all ready made and sealed just heat and eat. plus the benefit of it being a light sorce as well as the general ambience of the whole thing .thinking it would be a great conversation starter as well
hopefully I answered everything and can get some more great feedback thank you

the trouble with a little woodstove like that is you are awake every 2 hours to put wood in.. never get any sleep! We heat alot of fish houses..we moved from woodstoves, ( i liked the reeves tove) to propane.. much less work..My shack has a strikemaster lazer stove, nice setup, the anvil propanne stoves are nice to, you can cook on them also

One other alternative is to use and Espar/Eberspacher/Webasto diesel or petrol heater. I am in the process of setting one up in a separate aluminum housing that can be taken along when needed. The heater itself is 4X4X12"

Ditto on the Eberspacher/Espar. I have one and its perfect for a small trailer.

What about one of those dog house heater/ac units? Might do the trick for you!
I have a companion for your grey! It's an orange winged amazon. My grey loves me too much to volunteer him (the amazon was my daughters before she moved out and couldn't take her).
