Yes, it really is only 17 inches tall and it weighs
just 65 pounds! And yes, it produces a lot of radiant
heat, especially for its size.
People who saw the first, experimental versions of
the Mini Franklin thought they were toys, or a scaled-down
versions of bigger stoves. But when they saw the fire
and felt the heat, they quickly recognized that it was
real.
It’s probably the only gas stove that can be
shipped UPS. It’s also the only gas stove truly
designed to heat one room.
Invariably people who buy a gas stove to heat one room
find that it’s too big. With gas stoves, bigger
is not necessarily better. If you purchase a gas stove
that is too big, the amount of heat that it provides
can be uncomfortable, and if it is thermostatically controlled,
it just cycles on and off all the time.
The Mini-Franklin is sized to heat one room. If you
want to heat just a bedroom, bath, study, or den, you’ll
find that the Mini Franklin will provide all the warmth,
ambiance, and charm that you hoped for.
