Ditch the wood stove and go propane..Get the long industrial tanks and mount them to the gunwalls out of the way. As far as the rusty pole goes that's a speciality item. I'd suggest a pole polisher that can solve your problem with loving care. It's not something you should try yourself.

It all depends on name brand of stove. If its a fisher stove I would not install it in the cuddy, she puts out way to many BTU's in such a small area. Maybe think about mounting stove in cockpit and then use a blower to direct heat into cuddy and radiant heat from the stove will warm the wheel house. You can stack the wood on top of bimini or hardtop. Use shella-shine on the pole. Good luck!!! Lol!!

I'd go the propane route.
And just what kind of girls you got able to handle a 3" pole??
I've been frequenting the wrong establishments.

No, not a Fisher. It is a Huntsman.

Phat - I like pellet stoves. Problem is I have way to much oak laying around to think about having to buy pellets.

Taking Kracker's advice I'm thinking I will mount the stove in the cockpit inside the enclosure. I can roll up the rear curtain, have a bi-directional blower unit that will heat the deck and the cuddy simultaneously. Just don't know how to get this flu up thru the soft bimini material. Thought about running it up beside the stripper pole but that will impede stripper movement to and fro -somewhat. I can get around the issue of the pole getting too hot by going with triple wall stove pipe. Plus, I think the ladies will like the warm pole. Feel me?

Now what do you think about a jacuzzi? Really no different than a transom mounted bait tank. Yeah, it will be bigger but won't need as much H2O due to the displacement created by strippers........Hmmmmm....just had a thought....I can run the flu into a heat exchanger around the jacuzzi then out the transom.

Am I over-thinking this whole thing?

I have no comment until you can provide an accurate WOT, trimmed out full speed mph.

Cut hole is canvas on the bimini put your triple wall pipe thru then spray this $hit on there!!! It's the best stuff ever!!! It has a burn rate up to like 50 million degrees and will also water proof the roof penetration. The cool thing about this product is if you buy one can for 19.95 then you get like 50 cans free!!! Hell of a deal.

Call me old fashioned, but I would go brick and mortar. I'm not trying to tell you how to run your boat, but I would also look into a baby powder dispenser (keep that fresh stripper smell).

PS I've got a friend of a friend who can get baby powder in bulk...save you mucho dinero.
