I too have a diesel stove and struggle with the warmup time and higher cabin heat when using it in the summer. That problem was easily solved by adding a two burner Force 10 Propane cooktop. As I already had a propane supply, from the big propane stove that came out to make room for the diesel stove, My installation was relatively simple. Yours might require giving up the diesel stove, which would be very hard to justify, given your location.
I now have a much safer fuel (Propane) than the Origo offers, for warm weather use and I still have the cabin heat provided by the Diesel stove in cooler weather and ready cooking heat all year.
For safety references, see the concurrent thread on propane safety.
