Pascal Prokop, who lives in Switzerland, caused a minor internet stir when photos of his stove-car near Mettmenstetten, a town 25 kilometres south of Zurich, began to circulate on Friday. [...]
Mr. Prokop obtained an operating permit for his stove-car from the Swiss Technical Inspection Authority, making it perfectly legal to operate.

Of interest; wood-burning smoke is more harmful to you than cigarette smoke and has similar addictive and pleasure-producing toxins that mask its detrimental effects on our health. PSA you know. Also check out Sam Harris: The Fireplace Delusion from The Moral Landscape.

I think I remember them doing something like this on Top Gear. It was a Mercedes that Clarkson turned into a mobile cottage with a wooden floor and a wood burning stove or fire place.

That is one reason I would like to live way out in the country. You can make as much noise as you want, light yourself on fire and run around naked and not have to worry about the neighbors getting their undies in a bunch.

There was a fiddle player/busker in Ohio and MI who did something similar. He ripped out the front passenger seat and installed a wood stove and chimney in order to convert his mini-van into a mobile (literally) home. I wish I could find a picture to prove it. He got stopped a lot by cops, especially if he was baking potatoes and driving. Technically there was nothing illegal about it, though.
