I�ve never heard of a wood stove in a westy, but one of my daughters lived
in a small converted school bus (the proverbial short bus) one winter nearly
Courtenay, BC, and she heated the place with a small wood stove. I don�t
remember now how it was vented, but the bus was NOT moveable.  I was never
in the place during the winter, but she said it was quite warm.  I was
always worried she would die of carbon monoxide poisoning, but she survived,
apparently with most of her neurons intact, as she recently completed an
honors BSc in computing science!
