Comment on Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (77F) outside.

  When I said my house is tiny I truly mean that. I don’t even have space for a medium size house plant let alone a fireplace. I have a wood burning sauna on a separate building though

    Have you looked at anything like this? They are extremely tiny wood stoves that are perfect for little spaces. cubicminiwoodstoves.com

      Yeah I have considered it. There’s just no good place for the chimney either. It would need to go thru the wall and past the eaves on either of the two sides of the building that the roof is not sloping towards to because else falling snow is going to rip it off in the winter.

        You could heat it from a fire outside with a boiler and a radiator. I’m not sure if they have those for sale in Finland but they’re a thing in the US.

        That’s fairly typical. WTF would you do in an outage?

        I know it’s not uncommon for the chimney to go through the eaves for more support, if that’s an option for you. I know someone in Alaska with a tiny house that did something like that, with a wall mounted tiny stove and it was pretty impressive!

    Diesel heater set up properly maybe the way, just not sure how well it would work kept outdoors at those temperatures.

    That sauna sounds like a candidate to hook up to the heat pump if you ask me.
