SMALL + SLOW = BEAUTIFUL
Navigator Stove Works
is located on Orcas Island within Washington State's San Juan Islands.
We welcome you to stop by for a visit or to pick-up your order.
The workshop is about a mile from Eastsound's town dock @ 509 Double Hill Road.
Please do give us a ring before you come on over.
The islands are also ferry served via Anacortes, Wa. & Sidney, B.C., Canada.
Designed originally for boats, these US EPA & Wa. State Certified stoves are equally well suited for use in
small spaces on land (300 sq.ft. or less) where a larger, conventional woodburning stove would be impractical.
About half the stoves
we build end up being used in this way. See the photo
page for some examples.
Two of our stove pattern sets have their roots in Nova Scotia, Canada. The
Lunenburg Foundry produced a

The HALIBUT,
designed by Navigator, features an oven, a high temp glass window
in the upper firebox door,
and a bronze/brass sea rail.. This solid fueled cookstove
integrates and updates the best functional design elements from several now
defunkt boat oriented stove foundries. SHIPMATE (of Stamford, Ct.) &
WASHINGTON STOVE WORKS (of Everett, Wa.) being two of the best known examples.
A porcelain HALIBUT is
truly a beautiful object!

The
HERRING, is NSW's new Diesel/BioDiesel
model.
As BioD's physical properties are a bit different than regular Diesel,
there are a few cold weather challenges to be met when using this alternative
fuel.
BioD. is quite an agreeable smelling fuel and we are excited to offer a liquid fueled stove that is
both traditional and modern. (dare we say GGG....Green?) Please let us know if you'd like to reserve
one from the limited first batch of HERRINGs. We are currently building half a dozen for late 2010.
