Will One Log Last Overnight? Wood Burning Stove Burn Time In Log Cabin In The Winter Using One Log
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.พ. 2021
- How long does one piece of wood last in this wood burning stove? Will just one log on the fire keep you warm overnight in the winter in a tiny log cabin in the Rocky Mountains? Let's find out! 🌲⛄❄
A time-lapse test to see how long the burn time will be using one piece of softwood (spruce / pine) in this small soapstone wood burning stove after stove temps and embers were perfect.
Cabin was completely warmed up (contents, etc.) and the outside temperature was -10c. Cold air intake / makeup air was attached and the beer was chilled to perfection. 😁🍻

your "top down" fire you started with is actually the correct way to start a wood burning stove. It heats the pipes up and causes the ash to rain down on the wood below it to slow down the burn for maximum hot coals. Keep it up
It's the only way to build a fire in my opinion. Thanks for the awesome comment. Much appreciated and have an awesome week 👍🍻
@@JimmyMeatwhistle Totally agree
@@JimmyMeatwhistle hearthstone actually recommends the top down method.
The cassette tape was a nice touch. Brings back memories.
Thumbs Up for Top Down! Much better than old school bottom up.
Agree.
Top down is the best way, works every time
Top down is by far the best way for a stove, especially if you need to heat up the flue so it starts to draw, the Swiss been burning logs like this for centuries
I did a video on the top down in a fire pit outside not long ago. There is no maintenance to a top-down fire. It just keeps going and going 🍻👍
I never get bored of re visiting your older videos I especially love these ones seeing the cabin and burning some logs. Cheers brother 🍻
Thanks Sam. I need to upload some more of that action
"Top Down" is also known as the Scandinavian method, and the only way I've ever started a fire in our woodstove.
But then, I'm Scandinavian! LOL Best wishes and thanks for the video!
I'm from Poland and top down method is more and more common. Creates less smoke and soot, and more heat
Tough to get a long burn from smallish stoves. Best thing to do is rake all the coals forward, lay a large log in back then pack it full with as many splits as you can. Hopefully it will burn front to back and that log stuffed in the back will leave you a nice coal bed in the morning.
Vermonter here! I love my Hearth Stone heritage , can’t beat the look and function of soap stone ! Good choice.
Awe fabulous video cheers. It shows me my stove is burning way to fast even with the damper right off.
One large log 🪵 last me an hour if I’m lucky 😢
"We don't have hardwood, but we do have rocky mountains." Figgin rights! Cheers from north idaho
Thanks for the comment and have a great week 🍻👍
I had that same truck in 89. They are the best. You will get it cleaned up nice. Perfect truck for what you need it for. Thank you for the videos. Cheer's 🥃🥃
Hi BT, yes these are real little work horses for sure. Loving it so far. Thanks for the comment 👍🍻
Enjoyed the video, especially anything about the cabin.
Thanks!
You picked the right beer.
TOP DOWN IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST WAY. END OF. yes you can make a fire other ways, as always there's another way, but top down and V is the best methods. 50 years of making fires in all situations, I think I have learnt a thing or 2.
Dang softwood really does burn pretty quick. I throw a fat piece of oak in my stove before bed and wake up to a ton of coals ready to rip the next day. Definitely don't have the Rockies though!
Great video and informative. Being an owner of an air tight stove for 20 + years I’ve noticed burn time will vary depending on temperature outside. From minus 10 c to minus 30 will shorten the burn time. I don’t know how but it does. Damper set the same. Thanks again for your video 😊
The more differential in temp between inside and out, the stronger the draft will get, so the same damper and/or air inlet settings will produce different air flow through the stove at different temps. Totally normal!
You're the man Jimmy 👌😉
Another cool (or should I say Hot!) video Jimmy! I can't recall ever seeing a timelapse of a log burning down to embers, pretty neat to watch it. Yes, I'll take the Rocky Mountains over hardwood forests any day! 3.5 or 4 hours on one log is pretty good, being a pine log at that...getting up once to put another log in isn't bad at all! Those KO2's you got on the truck are great tires...I had them on my 88 4Runner, and they did great in the snow and offroad...they haven't changed them (at least the tread pattern as far as I can see) much, which attests to the fact how great of an offroad tire it was and still is! I forgot to mention on your last video where you repaired the seal...It looked like the truck was missing the front skid plate...although being a solid axle vehicle and built like a tank...who really needs skid plates? Great video and enjoy watching them!
Thankyou that was great information 👍👍one log 31/2 to 4hrs 👍👍
Forgot to mention, great to see you got the cassette player fixed! Funny, what old people like me used to do to play music in our vehicles! Heck, I'm bummed new vehicles rarely even have the ability to play CD's anymore! Although....I think the 4Runner is still CD equipped! I gotta get one before they do away with the CD player....
Hi Steve, thanks for the comment. Yep, the new 4Runners have it, or at least my 2018 has a CD player 🍻👍
Oh wow. I didn't realize your burn times were that much shorter out there. I guess I should consider myself fortunate for all the hard wood we have. I mean, Poplar is considered a hard wood, but we usually leave it alone or use it on a warm day. I try to use locust from the ground that the bark has rotted off. When it's 5 years old or so, your chainsaw will throw a few sparks it's so hard. I don't split all night logs, "within reason." I will start looking at it as a positive from now on every time I have to sharpen the saw.
Got the same.stove..love it..just wish it was bigger
Part of holding a fire,is to not have a large coal bed,larger pieces of wood,and higher moisture content,within limits.
I regularly hold for 12 hours,sometimes for a couple days!
What stove do you get 12h out of?
@@jurasko control your air and you can get it out of any stove. Just saying
It an "Arctic Flame". It's piped 12' straight up with triple wall, and the void is filled with rock wool to keep the stack hot and drafting.Many modern stoves have an air supply you cannot shut of for clean air regulations, but I have seen people stuff rock wool or fiberglass in the plenums to get more control of air supply.
Double wall Metalbestos is stainless with 1" insulation. My triple wall came with 1/2" insulation, and 1-1/2" air cavity similar to B vent on propane or pellet stove exhaust. I filled that cavity with rock wool, to hold the stack heat, and therefore reduce create condensation
when I slow the fire. So double wall OD is stack + 2", and triple wall is stack + 4".
Give you a thumbs up just for the intro music
Dance to the beat of your own drum Jimmy and start it the way you choose.
Top down is best!
Liked the Tall Can Tease
It was like it was never going to end, haha. 🍻
My first thought is that was only about one third of a log.
Second is you may want to try different things with logs. One is to not split the log and cut it so it can fit in the heater in an upright position. Light it from the top also if possible. Only problem is if it burns to slowly you may not get enough BTUs to stay warm.
Use your imagination. Great video. 👍
.
is see BF goodrich i see toyota ....this guy is a pro
Good test for those enquiring about wood stoves.
Thanks Ken. Yeah it's interesting information for sure, especially comparing it to hardwood burn time 🔥
Oh yea I’ve had logs of cherry last for 11-12 hours when dampened down
If anyone is interested I have had a charcoal ovoid glowing red 24 hours after putting it in a log burner. Ie put it in Sunday evening, went to work Monday, came home, blew into the ash and there was a red glowing charcoal ovoid hot enough to start the next fire 😄
if it is good enough for the US Forest service it will work for me and it does. Top down with your wood in the stove keep going thanks.
What about one un-split log as big as you can fit. Would you think it would last longer?
Not sure, but I will try it 👍
I'm surprised the soft wood did so well. I only burn oak, (I'm lucky that it happens to grow wild here in the Sierras amongst the Cedar & Fir), and my burn rate is really no better than yours. 3 1/2 to 4 hrs. I have to get up once each night to reload.
Thanks for the info Lester, much appreciated. That's interesting for sure, I figured the hardwood would burn a lot longer.
@@JimmyMeatwhistle it does if you know how to control your air and have a damper in your flue to keep all your heat from going up you're chimney. Most new stoves have air intake in the back or bottom that the air goes up to the air tubes in top of stove. We shut damper in flue and then put steel wool in the ports in the bottom while watching the flame to get the desired flame with front and flue dampers shut. (Ended up putting sliding damper doors on em). Then once fire going well we start with flue damper turned 90 percent off (or all they way most days) at least to keep heat from going up and away. Then adjust all other dampers to get perfect long burn flame. We load up full with oak at night and it'll last at least 8 hrs, usually ten to twelve before reloading. Learn you air control and keep your heat from going up the flue😎
I’ve had my Woodstock catalyst stove since 2003. It will burn for at most four hours with live oak, extremely hard wood. Nothing but ash left and stove will remain warm for 8 hours once down to coals. Like you I reload on cold nights.
Top down starting is the best.
I agree 100%. Thanks for the comment 👍🍻
Love that Yota
Start your fire however it works for you . Any fire that keeps you warm is a good 👍 fire.I burn 24/7; in cold WVa winter.Get up at least once anyway so I put a .round or split or two still have a pretty good start next morning. I burn mostly Chinese elm free from a local golf course ,also get free junk wood from tree guy down the street stuff he can’t sale.love your stove . I have a Pacifica super 27 . Like to see you time burn a round log ,think you will get a longer burn. It might need help from a split . Stay safe stay warm.
Beautiful video and scenery, I love stove experiments that are well thought out like in your vids.
If you got a hold of an oak log and got bored, a hard wood test comparison in similar temps and setup would be really interesting. For science.)
Hi and thanks for the comment. Yes that would be awesome. I'll keep my eyes open for some hardwood 👍🍻
Another great upload, make them longer please 😃
Hey Mark thanks for the comment, much appreciated 🍻👍
I always enjoy your videos, im watching from just outside regina
Thank you, much appreciated 👍🍻
Love your vids bro. Also happy I live in Mass where I can burn red oak, hickory and cherry from my back yard. Keep at it bro 🔥🍻
Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. Yeah, I would love to get a hold of some hardwood LOL 🍻👍
Ty sir
Thanks for the comment. Appreciate it 👍👌
Good looking Old Milwaukee...
Ill take the hardwoods I've the rocky mountains. Moved from Denver to KY
I live in northeast Pennsylvania, it gets cold here.. nothing like you experience out west.. I burn oak maple and ash.. all hardwoods.. I load up my wood stove around 10 pm and still has a nice bed of coals in the morning when I wake up around 6 am…
Good info, and thanks for the comment 👍 . There is no hardwood out here.
We also have a lot of soft wood, pine, log pole and fur. We burn all of it which doesn't seem to last that long. However, we dont have a stove that efficient so we are upgrading this year..asap..lol
Try maple or birch next time lol ✌🏻🇨🇦 beer look so good lol
Haha, it'll be quite the drive getting a piece of maple 🤣🍻👍
Top down lighting is definitely the way with a log burner 👍
I use it with all my fires. Camp fires, even in the fireplace 🔥. Thanks for the comment, and have a great Sunday 🍺👍
New sub love this type of content
🍻👍
I never tried just one log. I Always shove it full of logs and turn it low. Most of the time there are still good coals in morning and temperature is OK. I'm in Nova Scotia eh! 😁
Yup, stuff it full and hit the sack! I got a lot of comments saying how one log will last overnight, no problem. But not with this wood in this stove I guess lol
I love your pyro videos
Haha, thanks! 🍻🍻
have you ever tried the fiber bricks? I've had good results with them (been burning 4 years with them) made up of hardwoods etc. about the same price per cord in massachusetts as hardwoods are, but stackable, clean etc.
I have the same stove. To overnight, you pack it with smaller better split wood and load it like a puzzle and sleep the whole night. It seems you are new to this stove.
Apple lasts well, but no fun splitting
If the fire burns, than it was made the right way! Constructive criticism is good but, there is no need for gear or skill snobs.
Man if you hard good hardwood like oak it should last double the time. Very impressive stove
No hardware out here in the rockies
@@JimmyMeatwhistle I use some hickory, mulberry, red elm and Osage orange amongst others. Throw some of that in and it's like throwing in a piece of Rocky Mountain Granite. Like a rock! Soft woods do not produce nearly as good coals and more effort/time is required removing ashes.
I have used a Woodstock Soapstone Fireview catalyst stove since 1999 running through about 3 cords each year. I can get pretty good heat up to 12 hours but usually reload every 8 or so.
Embers were great but you need an unsplit log! The largest you can fit over those coals to make it 8+ hours, fyi.
Top down or Scandinavian method is the best method to start a fire.
What about the temper? You close it or leave it open for 1/4?
Have you ever done a rig walk around video? Be cool if you did. Yoda love
Hi Adam. I kind of did one when I first picked it up th-cam.com/video/VGHhdb18CTg/w-d-xo.html
Perfect
chugger we call em !
Nothing wrong with burning softwood. I mix my 3 or so cord of hardwood with maybe a half cord to 3/4 of pine. I clean my chimney every year, no problems. I live in the east too (New England)
I'm in the rocky mountains, and there's no option for hardwood 👍
@@JimmyMeatwhistle damn, not even Tamarack pine? (Aka Larch) that stuff is kickass for softwood. Burns hot and lasts a while. Hard to find in my neck of the woods but I get it if it's cheap or free.
@AdamB12 some Larch and birch, but mostly pine and spruce
when you throttle the stove correctly like a car engine, then you can expect that the wood will burn for a maximum period of time
Hot video Jimmy. Beautiful stove.
What about doing a whole round log thats not split.I bet that could add 1 to 2 hours longer burn.You should try that a fully unsplit log.With my old pot belly 2 eyed cooking type stove whitch I use for heat a full load will barely last 3 hours.I know that air control is a very important factor.I have a great wonderfull chimney flu built for wood stove has the inter liner and it has a big draft.If I get a bed of ashes over the grate and just poker 1 or 2 holes for air them it becomes alot more efficent with wood.But I get an ordor of fumes I don;t like so I try not to let that happen.Great video.
Hi and thanks for the comment. Most of the rounds I had were too big to fit in the stove lol. But I'll definitely find one that fits and try it out.🍻👍
@@JimmyMeatwhistle Thanks.Don;t feel alone having to get up middle of night to reload stove.For me its atleast 3 times lol.
🙋🏻♀️Hi thank you for sharing youre insight ,so it is like 4 ours ⏳can you tell me again with what type of wood ?
It's all Spruce or Pine in my neck of the woods, no hardwood or fir
That soapstone will stay warm after the fire burns out.
Goodnight Jimmie!
Why don't you use fir?...almost like burning a hard wood...its all I burn all winter ...and its so plentiful in western Alberta and huge in BC...
Thanks for the comment and info. But that's not true. In my neck of the woods it's spruce and pine.
will it last overnight? didnt even make it to the start of the night
What is that thing in the beginning?
The truck? Old Toyota pickup 🤔
@@JimmyMeatwhistle No that thing what you put in the car, some kind of casette.
Music cassette for an old school tape deck 👍🍻
@@JimmyMeatwhistle HaHa , nice. :)
Is your stove a catalytic stove or a secondary burn stove?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ok ok..... going to pickup some Old Milwaukee this weekend! 😂
Haha! Cheers 🍻
@JimmyMeatwhistle What kind of stove that is please? Thank you!
Hi, it is a Hearthstone wood burning stove
@@JimmyMeatwhistle That stove looks pretty good, I love the soap stone (I assume) sides and top!
0:52 that’s what my wife tells me all the time :(
😂🍻
This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list th-cam.com/users/postUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.
If you get a fire going who is to say it’s “wrong”
Buy good stove, mine burn hardwood for over 7 hours for one load (Englander 32-NC)
👍👍👍👍
If you doing all night burn you should have put into more pieces they could have easily fit maybe even 3 and then you wouldn't have had such a problem and it would have last longer
The whole point of the video was to see how long one piece of wood would last…
I used some pressed logs last season - North Idaho Energy Logs - that lasted all night (they flame for a while, then continue on for hours and hours as hot coals). They require a good, solid fire-starting disk to really get them lit, but once they are lit, a couple of them should burn all night and provide warmth. Here is a short video of them in practice: th-cam.com/video/0-qx0d4cWOM/w-d-xo.html
I used those and they work really well! The only complaint I had was that I kind of missed the "snap, crackle and pop" split logs...
sir you put 3 logs of even size and you said it burns 4hours i doubt ?
your clock was 4.21
and it reached 6.oo when the fire died 1hr39min should be the time as shown in vid
Top down if only if you don't want all the smoke i. You home instead of up the flu.
From the top down? Well, yeah if you are not gonna clean it out first.
Clean or not clean I find it the best way to make a fire. Fast and no messing around with it
The stove is too small for a long fire.
4:20 to almost 6:00 is 3 hours??? lol
At the end of the world, left will be sensible switched on Toyota truck owners,
So you’re the first person ever that uses just soft wood, I understand that’s what you have available. Big question is how often are you cleaning your chimney? That creates a lot more creosote. Some public places won’t let you use soft wood because it’s considered a fire hazard. Seriously, talk to a fireman they will confirm. Enjoy while you can.
There is no hardwood here for thousands of miles so I don't think they'll make it a law that you can't burn softwood 🙄 people living in the Rocky Mountains have been doing it forever....
Alaska and the Yukon, they'll never ban softwood....And seriously its only a fire hazard if you're an idiot....
You can burn any wood as long as it’s properly seasoned!
Why do we have to have music with everything.... I hate it.
R U seriously asking this? Learn your stove Learn your wood Learn your technique...you should not need to come to TH-cam to figure this all out unless your 10 years old.....
Every terroist and african War lord ever. Approved with a burst of AK-47 fire that toyota.
We burn oak, I wonder how long a big log would last
No oak out here
