Folksss!, last weekend's copyright issues were resolved! and from here onwards to some smooth roundhouse content:) Tune in next week Friday again:) (Noon ET, 5pm UK & 18.00u Central Europe )

Roundhouse still looks great! We had the exact same issue with the smoke. After a while and a number of fires later, we realised that you need to get a really hot fire going early. Don’t let the flames burn down to embers too soon. The flames wick the smoke upwards. The hotter you can get it the better. The colder the fire got, the more the smoke would sink again. It’s always been an issue in any structure with a roof that has no chimney ventilation. Same happened in the saxon house I built 🤣 we did notice that once the heat was at a consistent level, you could sit down on a bench and the smoke level would be above your head. Soon as you stood up your head would be in the smoke level again. The massive roundhouses that you see at re-enactment centres etc are so much bigger that the smoke doesn’t seem to be an issue, there is more air flow for it to be out of head level. I remember how annoying that smoke gets though I’m sure you guys will figure it out! 💪🏻
Ventilation seems to have been a learning process back in the day. In traditional African roundhouses, they build a raised cap for smoke ventilation (which would also prevent rain from entering), if they have a fireplace in the center. Something to consider, if you and your pops and/or Dustin (Dustin?) are looking to build something new :)
When you guys meet up and start a Coop? I remember you talking about it at the last Q&A, would love to see you guys sit together and start a fancy new project.
Idk why but the way you two interact is comedy gold 😂 I came for a cool roundhouse and stayed for dillans pessimistic comedy and your hopeless optimism
Great to see you & Dylan back & you've turned your entire house into a Rocket Stove :) The intake/out take of the air flow is inverted. The out take needs to be larger than the inlet so that the heat will create draw & carry the smoke upwards. The large size of the underground, intake hole is causing it to work in reverse. Instead of enlarging the hole in the roof, start by shrinking the diameter size of the underground intake. That way if it doesn't work you've not got a huge gaping hole in your roof if you don't really need it. Cheers & welcome back!
If you open the roof enough to suck all the smoke out, you risk pulling embers up into the thatch. I have a feeling that the secret to living in a roundhouse, is to live outside it as much as possible.
It's just incredible what beauty, what atmosphere you were able to create. This is truly a meditative experience watching you. I myself started making videos about my adventures, so I'm interested in everything. Grretings from Belarus tourist. ✌️
Guys you may have run into troubles, but I'm sure the roof cap will solve most of it. Thanks for the great video, also very entertaining banter between u both.
Hahaha, I accidently watched the first 5-10 minutes before this was moved to private for patreon members. Glad to watch it now in full without taking advantage of upload accidents.
It's great to see another video folks, you have a way of making a person feel the atmosphere and smell of the wood smoke. When you looked up inside the Roundhouse you could see the perfect opportunity to preserve your meat and maybe cheeses and other foods. Some simple wooden pulleys fibre rope and winch your food up into the smoke, it wouldn't take that long and you could have an abundance of various smoked or dried food, then it's a matter of storage! I imagine that way was used for generations way back when Such an opportunity you have to resurrect old skills and create plenty of new old skills One excellent way to get rid of the smoke and free extra radiant heat is a rocket mass heater, it would save you building bunk beds, and you also would have plenty of sleep room around the circumstances of the inside wall, plus a good place to cook using minimal wood. Looking forward to future videos guys. Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
@@thegoodtom1718 does the way they include the air intake for the fire fit the period? A RMH is made with rocks and mud I'm sure Ireland had plenty of that back in the day? If you could make charcoal or build a smelter for iron in the day why not a RHM? PLEASE do not take this as me being a Smart ass I am inquisitive to understand, intelligence isn't exclusive to the 21st century to bring air in from outside the Roundhouse via a subterranean air intake , would be a short step of sitting around the fire one night with a local mead and your mates, chewing the fat and coming up with a different style of heating Like any improvement in your comfort level you build a roof over your head then you look at the making it comfortable. are there records that the particular below floor level air intake was used? The Romans used subterranean heating for their saunas and some of their houses Tony from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Good to see you back. Smoke level in that type of house should be just above standing height. Meats/fish would be hung up and preserved. Also smoke preserves the roof. Like the idea of the air inlet for fire. Keep it up guys
I was only thinking about the roundhouse today while i was designing a dugout shelter.And here you fellas are!.I love the way the thatch has weathered in.Good to see you guys!
That’s the first time I’ve seen the house finished it’s incredible it looks so old Celtic and it blends in with the Forrest like it was born there and so it was, my god it’s grand you both did a magnificent job seriously
maybe a stone rocket stove? i think the way they dealt with it back in the day was the smoke line was high enough that you didn't inhale much. but y'all are probably quite a bit taller than the average medieval Irish person :)
You guys should just make a hatch in the roof, with a pully and a stone or log as a counter weight to make opening/closing easy from within. That way you can keep the rain out and controll the air flow very precise depending on wind:)
Hey guys it might be an idea to indeed open up the hole in the roof but that you don't build a cap on top of it. Instead you could also just build one side of the roof up so that it covers the hole from rain from one side. You just have to make sure that you build it on the side where the wind mainly comes from. This way you won't have the rain falling inside and the wind will still pull air/smoke from your house. I used to work in a museum where everything was made to resemble specific historic eras and this is what we'd do in the 'prehistoric' age. It works wonders and would also be historically accurate.
I've missed these videos... not quite doing a medieval roundhouse, but your videos have inspired me to build a completely off grid cabin out at the back of my property. I've got a few acres, most of which are wooded, and I'm looking forward to a "home" where I can have some solitude. Thank you, and keep up this kind of content!
G,day fellas, great to see you all again, yeah and you Jaeger, the Roundhouse is looking spectacular, the strength of the roof structure is incredible, really solid. Hope you figure out a way to deal with the smoke I'm sure you will. The Roundhouse has very real sense of warmth about it. All the best regards from here on the West Coast side of Australia 🌏🖖🙏🤟🇦🇺
Scottish Crannogs had reed roofs like yours and no chimney. According to the experimental archeologists who built and ran the Scottish Crannog center, the smoke from the fire was supposed to leak out through the roof just like yours did with that first fire. The theory behind this is that if you have a strong updraft associated with a chimney, it pulls sparks up to the ever drying thatch with predictable outcomes. letting the smoke leak out through the roof both prevents this and preserves the thatch. Despite having no chimney, the Scottish Crannog center's Crannog burned down in minutes in 2021.
I believe they were designed so that the smoke permeates the thatch and stops insects moving in and destroying it. I did notice there seemed to be no wind to draw the smoke,otherwise it might be better.
They've built Iron Age Round Houses all over Britain now. The first one was built at Butter Hill in Hampshire in 1976 and it's moved and gone through made modifications over the years as we've learned more about the technology. There's some pretty big houses at Butser Hill now and at Castell Henllys in Wales.
Very common sight in South Africa As a doctor got called out to review a patient in labour. When I entered the hut I could hardly breath Dont know how they survive but they looked healthy
I watched Harald Baldr's videos where he was in Tanzania staying with a tribe in the bush. In the hut that they cooked in, there was no smoke hole and they just put up with the smoke. It was indeed very smokey. I think there is no need nor point in having an air supply feeding the fire, and in fact I'm pretty sure it would create a fire hazard. You are probably best off burning seasoned dried peat for a fire inside there, rather than wood which may or may not throw up sparks or embers. I reckon back in the Iron age in that area they burned peat. Love your roundhouse. It's a great solid building. You know with it being smokey in there with a fire going, it would be ideal for smoking meat and fish hanging from the rafters. You could also smoke Garlic bulbs in there, and smoked garlic is very nice. Use that smoke to your advantage.
Great episode. I always enjoy looking at you guys working on this awsome medieval bushcraft project. You're keeping it very real by showing all the trial and error. I really enjoy that. Keep it up!
While the fire at the end was small, i'm willing to bet it gave off a lot of heat. try closing the top off a little, and build your fire over the hole, youll get a great draft, and it should help cut down on the smoke.
Glad to see this series is still going, confident that It was released around the experimental archaeology section of my archaeology course. It makes me look forward to making brooches next week :)
That was my first thought too. The fire is drawing too much oxygen through the doorway and the floor. Put a door on and it'll streamline the airflow, drawing through the floor, into the fire, then straight through the roof.

add a rock smoke stack with reflector, the sparks with grass don't mix!!
Loved the series?! 👍 Exact same issues
Seen an article where a fellow took mud and grass and sticks then made a mud stove!!
Get some candle light in there, they had those back in the day
Love this entire series so much fellas, I play it for my kinder kids at work to show them what traditional building looks like.
Your Roundhouse is so beautiful.. I can't believe it. I'm really looking forward to the following episodes!
Our man Felixx! Maybe you should bring the family to Ireland this summer and we do some collabs on the roundhouse;)
@@SmoothGefixt Oh yeah Felix, please do that!
the best wildlife / bushcraft channel for me, good vibes here
I think, in some ways, this video shows the future for many people. A return to more natural living but taking our technology with us.
Nice to see you again.
My ancestors would have lived in an Irish Roundhouse just like the one built by the lads brilliant piece of living history.
The absolute best content on TH-cam.
the battle of the benches, of the bows... such great memories! Would be great to see you guys make a season 2!!

you are hanging from rafters, sawing rafters. Brave Vikings you are.
You guys are like Michael Scott in the woods.

So happy to see you guys posting again! Welcome back!!
SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTH gefixed jonge!!!
I love these guys
Thanks for sharing, and glad your back.
I love when Julius ist asking If Dillon ist having fun when Splitting Wood. And He Just says no.

Always a good idea to smoke out the thatch, gets rid of all the bugs n mice and coats the thatch overtime against weather
Missed you both!!!!
This was a pleasant surprise!
Been watching the whole way through the building missed a couple middle eps but I love it guys this has been what I’ve been waiting for. GOOD WORK 🫵🏼🫡
Prachtig om te zien, complimenten! Maar dat Engels, mannen.... Arrgh, niet om aan te horen!

Leuke sfeer ouwe! En een prachtige build….
Greate you back!
I think It's your open door, the Dakota firep pit will help but block the intake from your doorway and see if that helps.
Amazing. Greetings from Ukraine.
you saw the smoke during the day then at night "It's too smokey man!" Like it's some revelation LOL

Worth the wait and love the editing
Build a chimney around the fire pit about 1.5M high. That will solve the issue and also keep the ambers from
Burning the roof down
Great to see you both back, love the video. I'm not a 100% sure but if you had a door on the round house it might help with the smoke draw.👍
That was my first thought too. The fire is drawing too much oxygen through the doorway and the floor. Put a door on and it'll streamline the airflow, drawing through the floor, into the fire, then straight through the roof.
I mentioned the same thing. Too much drafting and disturbing the smoke flow. It's pulling air in through the door
@@aspenwoodgrove4446 would be easy to test just hang a tarp over the door. Might want one when the midges come out anyway.
@@OakSummitNursery Yeah...a tarp with framework...you would be able to see the draw with the flex of the tarp
Time for Kaizen continuous improvement. Looking forward to your future videos
cant wait for it to start! awesome!
Love the build of the roundhouse have you invited local schools to visit and learn it seems a great opportunity to educate and inspire
Yay! 😁
