I'm 17 credits short for a Bachelors in Business Management. Left in 2008.

As long as your alive, it's never too late!

Can u do a video of your tiny house. I just love ehat i can see so far. Can u get a peopane fridge ordered there. I know in yukon they can get them skinny ones wpts size tho. They used to cost alot back then tho. Oh thats your parents my bad. I thought it was yours. I used to make jam and i used shortbread cookie dough the one with icing sugar and starch recipe. omg was it ever good. I love strawberry rhubarb, n i used to mske truffles too. Eww butter tarts. I live me a good one. Old school ie way hetter n peacn is way better. Not a rwsin fsn ill have to try your recipes. Omg that's such a good idea making them fr ppl in your town. The elderly would love that. I might just do that here. ❤❤❤

Lol funnny i do this for gifts too or used to. I gotta start this again ❤

Woukdnt it depend on what type of wood your burning. Elm buns longer n there sugar maple n hard maple sugar is really considered soft. The type of wood u use would really play a larger part in how lomg it burns. I inagine its great in a small space ya. But also nost woodstove dont butn thru thu night. You always gotta get up n load them again at least bonce thru thr night. They csn soonsor me. Lol im about to build a truck camper n i own a 30ft class c both in which id like this stove in. Been eyeing it upnfpr a few yrs since 2020 when covid hit. Id love to have this. Ive seen a few others too. There is another one im curious about but this was by far my first pick n the first one ive seen. Id also love to try that bluetti the bug one youcan add a few to the top. Curious if its relaly all they day it is or the jackery 1000 or 2000. Woth the solar i have solar ready to hook up. But im cusious about them both. Im definitely gonna need a power source. I will most likely video all my adventures as soon as i start my builf here any day. And change my ytube over. Right now i jsut watch vids i was kinda shy to video but its the new in thing now. I got a food chainsaw n i cut wood for a living for yrs. I will be starting again this woudl really help alot of ppl i know that are off grid snd cant afford a huge one that livr in tiny homes. Theyre always asking me about woodstoves n ive mentioned this one. Im glad you posted these vids what is the pipe behind it at the bottom. Ive never seen that. Is that an air intake as i didnt see ir in the oics. Theres also a wall hanging unit that allows it to be higher up and its an inch away from the walls, too. I like the emtal idea, but its ehavy as hell on a moving vehicle. Ive mever heard of clesnibg it out so much but i do know canadisnbture sells al the cleanibg brushes pretty cheap. You may need an extention depending on your tiny house height and your pipe outside. That also plays a part in how well your system burns the shorter thr pipe n the length outside has alot tondo with the eay it burns. Too short itll snuff it out not away from the roof enough and away fromnth wind etc. I think its that eay with all woodstoves too. Great video tho There are great wood you can use ro get a longer burn but i inagine your using whats around you. And ppl traveling use rhose bag ones which bis all soft wood. Ive seen u usibg some maple as well. Pine n cedar are not ideal and they leave alot of build up. I love me soemncherry hickory in the day or mixed at night eith elm n i dont mean iron wood id never use iron wood thats a fire eaiting to happen. Mostly that's arpund swamps but its great for a outside fire for warmth. I plan on cutting my oen doen snd having a storsge on my rig some place. Cedar does spark the doen sides of it. But most other hardeood is ok. Cedsr is a kindling wood more less and smells nice. I dont much like pine and its s bugger ro split n should be split when wet so itll dry out but not everyone has a good huge splitter. But itd great for building n i love it. Cuts off tho help. Dad always brought the home from the lumber yard. He was a lazy woodstove man lol funny thing was our house burnt down in a toen named after that lol and the only thing standibg thst made it eas the darn woodstove was a halogen lamp that arked in the box n off my bed not once but twice . Crazy eh. He never did add one back he aways said it was too much work but mom loved it n so did us kids. Thsnks for all the imfo n i hope some of mine was helpful. I cant weit to get stared n i know ill love a stove like that. Its just so damn cute n the fact that it warms ul so well im always up thru through the night im ok with that. The cleanibg part sucks ill need someone eirh me but i think if i stick to hard wood n elm i wont have to clean it as much. We will see take care yiur so luck u have a tiny home. I wish i could build one at my parents id already be there ❤😊

Nice and honest video, I loved it. Couple of things: burning pine woods causes more soot, but maybe other woods are not available in your place? IF your stove allows it, you could get some coal, (if available of course) it will help with a few problems. 1. coal burns longer 2. coal burns hotter -> the higher heat might help you to reduce some of the soot buildup.

MY LITTLE SECRET: I have not used kindling in over 40 years. I cut the log in half. I place the log vertically in the wood stove with the two flat sides facing each other about an inch apart. I take one sheet of newspaper and put it between the two flat sides and light it. I close the door and walk away. The fire takes care of itself. I've watched people struggle with starting fires for many years. I noticed that flames like to travel vertically and when two flat sides are one inch apart, the heat from one side burning will radiate its energy to the flat side of the other piece one inch apart and that piece of wood will radiate its energy back to the first piece of wood. It's like a game of ping pong as the heat bounces back and forth between the two pieces of wood that are placed one inch apart. The taller the pieces of wood, the better that this idea works. Give it a try and see what you think. You have nothing to lose but trying out a different idea. I've been doing this my entire life and I don't use any kindling other than one sheet of newspaper. Once you have a good bed of hot coals, you can just throw full sized pieces of wood in the stove and not worry about spacing them out anymore. Have a great day and try something new, you might be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to start a fire.

Do you need the air intake? What are the advantages? Do you think i could just run the flue? Is it safe in camper van without air intake?

I think you said Wood Stove 999,982 times, can you just call it a stove we know what you're talking about.

Currently 30 degrees Celsius in last week of winter in brisbane australia

I burned a fire in Northeast Ohio last week ! same stove year 3 now ,Tiny House

Plus 15 here so I might have a junk wood fire tonight. But yes other years I’ve had warm up fires during the summer if it’s cold out.

how did you install the chimney?

I was wondering how you were doing with all the fires. Glad you’re ok & hopefully you’re property is fine. 💜

From the way you are handling that wood and axe, you bought that wood from a supermarket .

i burn coal in mine

Having a go bag is excellent. I hope you all do ok. Thanks for the update.

Where?

I hope y’all are safe. 😊 Also, I love you pack your switch in your go bag. 🤣

Hope you & your place is safe!!

Hey just wondering where you live the general area cuz we have had a lot of smoke as well

Yup, I do. Here it’s 11:40pm and I’m wide awake 🤣. Currently planning on my nap for tomorrow.

Glad to see that ya still have that T-bar I gave you. Loosen the wheel nuts before jacking the car, set the park brake and leave it in gear. I see you used the frame rail on the front, on the back you can use the jacking point on the body ( see user manual) good tip on taking it to a garage to have the wheel nuts torqued. Get rid of your wheel locks if you are going to do your own tires, they will give out sooner than later, then you are really stuck. Maybe get it into the garage next time so you have a solid floor to work on.

After filming this, I put our big hen back with the other girls. The pullets will continue to be separated from our bigger girls for several more weeks. Once our flock is combined, all hens will have access to the coop, run and yard.

This is how I've removed tree's for years. It's hard work, but satisfying in the end.

I had a similar problem a few years ago. remove the most-dominant hen for a few days, make sure the other hens can see her during the day at least, introduce the bullied hen as soon as you give a time-out to the dominant hen. this will restructure the "pecking order"

Some steps we have already taken: - They have more than enough space for a flock of only 6 chickens. So it isn't an overcrowding issue. - They are freeranged daily and get treats because it's hot out, so it isn't a boredom issue. - It is possible the hen who is getting bullied isn't feeling well because the others have been keeping her away from the food and water. We've added multiple food and water stations to try and minimize bullying. Tomorrow we have a few tricks to try. We normally wouldn't interfere with the pecking order but our hen is at risk to sustain some serious injury if we don't intervene.

A month or so ago, we had an issue with sour crop in one of our hens so we're a bit sensitive to the issue. I wanted to check our hens before they were let out for the day so they're being a bit loud.

Truth. Someday, when I find my place to live and grow, I’ll still maintain a career of some kind. It might not be the same as what I do now, but that’s ok.

First to comment

First of all, loosen the nuts while the car's still on the ground. Putting a wheel under the car just in case is a good reflex, but it would be even better if that wheel will never have to save your ass from a car falling off a jack that's slipping away because of unstable soil, so please put something flat and strong like a piece of a wooden plank or a big stone tile under the jack if you don't have a concrete floor to work on. That soil's too soft to safely support the weight of the car which rests on the 2 little front wheels of your jack and you won't have to fully extend your jack to lift off your tyre an inch from the ground. As for comfort, a little stool to sit on while removing the wheels/nuts is very helpful and your back would be very thankful for it. Also, a cordless impact wrench is a real game changer and saves you a lot of time and effort. If you want to go the extra mile, get yourself a torque wrench and tighten the wheel nuts according to the manufacturer's specification (usually around 80 ft-lbs) That being said, I commend you for DIYing, these days it seems to be a rare thing among the younger generations and especially women which is sad since it makes you truly independent and can save you a lot of money 👍

Should stop trusting those chines 2T jacks, they are crap when you can get a Bahco 3T jack just for a little more cash. I can't remember when i used a cross wrench, had my driving license since 1999.

Easier when the tire is in the ground to loosen them

cheap electric or cordless impact makes that easy or a piece of pipe.

Thank you for this. I sometimes need a reminder to just get out and do something/anything for my sanity. ❤️

Blaze Kings are great stoves. The heat output range is very controllable since it has a built in thermostat. You could probably get away with a larger stove in your tiny home if you surround it with some thermal mass to help even out the heat and keep you warm long after the fire dies out.

Scritches and hugs from meee!

Well done video. A good commentary on sustainability.

I remember my first eggs. Tiny, blue Bantam seeds ! My brother said they were malted milk / choc. eggs, and he cracked one on my head. WW3 before breakfast 😅😮

Wait, what? Why do you keep her in the pantry there’s supposed to go in the fridge

Hi A couple of things that might be useful. Since you are using external air your stove is going to be more difficult to control. I would consider removing the external air supply. That should extend your burn times and make your stove more efficient.. You would be able to use larger pieces of wood and hardwood. Hardwood is key for overnight burns. Another thing you can do is add a damper to your pipe. That will allow you even more control over your stove which is a must IMO when you start burning hardwoods. Well, it was for me anyway. You shouldn't have to clean your pipes once a month. If you are getting quite a bit of creosote it means your wood isn't properly seasoned. Pick up a firewood moisture tester and check your wood. Having properly seasoned wood is so important. Store bought fire starters suck. Cardboard egg crate. Stuff cut up worn out cloths pieces into them. Cotton etc. Put on a piece of wax paper and pour wax over it. Let cool, break apart and your gtg.( its kind of concerning how well that works tbh) Starting a fire, top down method. Put a layer of large-ish hardwood on the bottom of the stove. Middle layer, smaller pieces of a softwood. Place fire starter, top layer kindling. Light and walk away. ( leave door cracked. crack a window if needed.) You wont have to tend to if for an hour or so. To keep in mind, the more surface area the wood has ( bunch of small pieces) the hotter the stove will burn. If the wood is wet ( not seasoned) the stove has to boil off the excess water. Moisture increases in your pipe which will cause creosote build-up, reduce the efficiency of your stove and increase the chance of a fire.

Coppicing or pollarding is the solution

Very well put. A nice simple like

Good to see you back! We've missed you. Good video :)

Tip from long time, small space wood burner. Once you get it going load it up, not just partial like in your video. Then get that going, then damp it down as far as you can without smoking it. The coals will roll double, maybe triple, and if you get it dialed, about quadrouple of what your getting. I can usually load mine like that at night, and still have enough coals left to get it going in the morning. The thick plate on that stove will allow you do that without damaging it. That's what you're paying for. And if you want to ditch the fire starters, make a separate small kindling set up with a steel bucket. Save the starters for when your wood is moist and hard to start.

hard wood and cut the flow might extend your burn time. *I am not an expert just grew up with fireplaces

Your burn times will double with good hardwood. That's how someone is getting 4 hours. I know space is the issue but a larger stove that you choose to feed at the rate you need would be more convenient since it's your only source. Something like a blazeking 20 gets you all day burnsband really controllable heat. Catalytic is the way to go for smaller heating needs and more burn time.
