Not usually.  Because of the demand and customizing options, Little Honeys are made to order.  There is usually a waiting list, so please inquire for wait times.

Payment will be required before manufacturing begins of your Little Honey.

The Little Honey can be installed in Motor Homes, House Trucks, Buses, Camper Vans, Boats, Bush Huts, She Sheds, Man Caves and Tiny Homes.

Little Honey ‘Glow’ & ‘Blaze’ (with Long Legs) are tested to AS/NZS 2918:2018 standards and can be permitted.  This means, the Little Honey has been tested for Clearances and can be installed in a dwelling where the woodburner is not required to be Clean Air Approved.

A report can be suplied on request for the permitting process.

We’ve written up some detailed info on recommended clearances, which you can download right here: Recommended Clearances for the Little Honey Woodburner

We don’t recommend that a wet back is fitted to the interior of the firebox, as it tends to lower the temperature and will hinder the double burning process.

COMING SOON! – ‘LITTLE HONEY’ HOT WATER JACKET.

Roughly 28 to 31kgs

The sides and base are 3mm cold rolled steel, the top plate is 6mm, and the double burner plate is 10mm thick.

We supply all flue components and can customize for any scenario.  Little Honey Flue Kits are custom made to our woodburner specifications including the ‘Little Honey Flue Shield’ and custom flue components compatible with the ‘Little Honey Wetback’.  Please contact for options and pricing.

It is not designed to burn coal by itself as it does not have a grate installed, but we find that sometimes putting a shovel full of coal on top of the wood works very well for a slow overnight burn.

The shipping varies from $130 to $180 depending on where in New Zealand it is going to. We’re based in the Southern Rangitikei, (Lower/middle North Island), so the closer you are to us, the cheaper the shipping will be. (Freight quotes are only available to your nearest main centre, and rural delivery is not recommended.)

We don’t currently ship overseas, but we may be able to work something out if you get in touch with us. See Contact Details here.

In the more than 30 years the ‘Little Honey’ has been manufactured, there has been no reason to add fire bricks.  Never has one of our woodburners come back burnt out of split from the heat.  The ‘Little Honey’ is designed as a small, slow burner and should not get so hot that it glows red.  The area that gets the hottest, above the burner plate, is made of 6mm steel.  The burner plate is 10mm thick.

The steel fins, that the heat shields are bolted to, are to strengthen the sides and conduct heat away from them, eliminating the need for fire bricks and giving extra space inside the fire box.

Yes, I can supply a new set for a nominal charge of $50 + postage; or for free, if they fail within the first 12 months.

No!  During normal operation of the fire, the only oxygen that is used is in the air that is actually drawn into the woodburner through the air vents and is consumed inside the firebox. The resulting fumes are vented entirely and safely to the outside through the flue. This small amount of air used will be immediately replaced from the outside through any hole or gap in the shell of the building. In the unlikely case of a completely sealed room, the fire would be hard to keep going or even light as no draft could be created, through the air vents, by the flue.

In actual fact, a woodburner ensures the circulation of air in a building, something that is needed for lowering condensation and ensuring fresh air for respiration, particularly at night.

The only time there could be any problem is if the airflow is somehow reversed and smoke comes out the air vent as fresh air is sucked into the woodburner through the flue. This can sometimes happen in windy weather, when the air pressure outside can fluctuate momentarily, causing a puff of smoke to come out the air vent, or if the door of the motorhome is opened out suddenly, or an expelair over the stove or in the bathroom may lower the air pressure enough to neutralise or reverse the air flow in the flue.

To compensate for this, ensure the flue is at least 1.5 mtrs long. Make sure there is somewhere for air to enter your motor home etc. to at least match the flow of air up the flue or through your expelair. (In the floor, not exposed directly to the wind, is better than a roof vent or an open window where your warm air can just escape).

Remember to clean your flue occasionally.

AND you already have a smoke alarm fitted, haven’t you!!!

Yes, the door can be hung from either side, please specify at time of ordering.
