You not only saved people from the same frustrations you had but you informed of the dangers of creosote buildup and the possibility of burning your house down. Well done.
Glad you could fix this. As we get older, simple maintenance becomes harder to do. Home Depot has special creosote burning logs that might help. Once more great video. Thank you
Thank you very much for yet another great video of yours! As I understand it is the final one and is a summary of all your previous work with mini stove installations, which you have now tuned and mastered through the process of trial and error. You now possess a precious experience that we, the viewers, all need and want; and you are just giving it away to us for free..thank you very much my dear friend! Good Bless!
well I have a secret ,my husband debarks all of our wood, we only have a 1/2 cup of creosote for a whole winter , his grandparents are from Poland and in the old country they did the same thing, we have burned wood for over 33 years, dont know if you think it will help
I had a. Soapstone stove that weighed about 800 pounds. Bringing it south from VT to NJ in a VW bus was fun. It had so much mass that the chimney would still be 400 degrees when the wood was gone :) The only place creosote formed was on the chimney cap :)
This video was very educational and helpful for those in extremely cold climates who face these wood stove problems. You are a great teacher and very capable of fixing or building most anything. Love from Canada
Actually, creosote did not build up at the bend. It built up at the ceiling line and above. But the bend made it not draw as well, so it wouldn’t burn as hot, and created more creosote.
When I installed my grizzly, I used their double wall also. But then I added there insulated class a to go through the roof. Basically it's a 5" pipe with kaowool on the inside that slips over their double wall pipe. I liked the look so much I order enough to do my entire flute from stove to cap. Looks great and I yet to have a problem with creosote. I also burn half of one of those chimney sweep logs every other week.
The first section of the pipe closest to the wood stove should be single wall to help radiate more heat inside the building, the rest may be double wall and insulated
Hi, so is the double wall pipe already insulated and the 5” pipe with the wool adds yet another layer of insulation? Or is the initial double wall not insulated? Thanks
Your older Mini Cubic Woodstove videos are how I first found your channel! I was looking for info on the stoves. Still haven’t bought one, still want one, but haven’t gotten to the point of needing one yet. But, I am very glad I found your channel!
I have a pellet stove and it uses 3" double wall pipe that I purchased from Lowes. (Veteran discount too) Home Depot and some hardware stores also have it.
~~~ My friend Bill you did a fine job on making this video. When we get our own home I really would look into the same kind. I think it is great on how much wood you used for the winter. GOD'S JOY to you and Mrs. Elizabeth and your lovely cat.
Great Job Bill.... Thank You so much for these videos. I am putting a stove in my shop in the next week and I was looking at having a bend in it and was very concerned about it not going straight up.. So you have helped answer this problem for me thanks... Wish you and Liz the warmest and Best of Holiday's stay safe....
If it would have been me, I would have put a 3 inch to 6 inch converter on the stove and went up through the roof with 6 inch double or triple wall pipe. You would have to clean out the flue about once every 2-3 years, if that. Still what you did was so smart Bill! That was a great choice of a stove for your RV home. You and the Mrs. have a wonderful channel! Thanxz
Would you have changed it to 6” right where it joins the stove you mean? My flue has been fitted with a SMALLER size than recommended and I’ve been thinking whether it’s worth changing it to the larger size. It also has a couple of 45° bends in it that I can’t see the point so I want to run it straight the whole way. Thanks
Thanks a million a while back I was looking into buying one I wasn't sure about buying it after seeing your videos on the problems you were having now that's all worked out I'm going to buy one
Thanks for taking the time to share this information with your experiences the wood stove. I really learned quite a bit about the single and double walled pipes
Awesome. Glad to see updates on the little wood stove. Some of my favorite videos for some reason. Some of the big box stores started selling the 3" double wall pipes now too. I made my own when they where harder to get which is still working good, but keeping an eye out for them to buy a new pipe. Sometimes its nice to just replace it seems like new pipe stays cleaner longer guessing that cleaning it creates scratches and stuff sticks to it easier over time.
Saturday December 7, 2019 Blessed Sabbath. I hope you both are doing well and are blessed in Messiah. Incidentally, you information is valuable. I hear you on being a professional in construction which I still am. I work on some top end homes, million dollar homes sometimes. Myself, I rent. LOL I come home, hang my hat and I am done and care free.
I learn so much watching your fix it videos... I think that's because you show the bumps in the road and your process to work through them. Thank you.... And whatever Elizabeth's thoughts are on the things that are 'just cosmetic' ..... I think I agree with them!
Thanks for posting the update. I watched your earlier videos and you were the reason why I bought the Grizzly. I thought your elbow contraption was a great idea, but Cubic Mini recommended that I go straight up if I could, so that is what I did. I am loving it and have had no issues. Thanks again
I'm thinking about getting the grizzly good to know I'll need a bigger opening going out of the roof I have 465 square feet how do you like the grizzly
@@JanessaforIsrael I am still loving the Grizzly. Well made. Thick steel just like any wood stove, but very small. It heats my tiny 150 sq ft cabin perfectly. I doubt it will heat 465 sq ft. Cubic Mini has great customer service, so you should give them a call and ask for their opinion. I hope this helps
I had a conventional wood stove in the house for my main heat source and I used the duravent chimney pipes that are double walled with high temp insulation in it all the way down to the stove and had to clean it out twice a month. But then I bought a advance wood stove with the secondary burn tubes in it . It not only eliminated the creosote issue but reduced my wood usage. I only clean the flue chimney now once a year now and it's only a light black soot in the pipe. So if you can find a a advance wood stove that would work in the size you need I think you would like it even more than what you have.
Great job Bill ! Glad it’s doing a better job for you . I really enjoy watching you get things done around your home . I’m sure you , Elizabeth and Leo will stay warm and toasty this winter . God bless and have a wonderful day !
Bill- Ever since I saw your original video on the cubic stove, I have wanted one for my tiny cabin. Two days ago I finally was able to order one. Now I discover the creosote problem and so on through this video. I believe God wants me to have the stove. If I had watched this video first, I probably would not have bought the stove. My original plan was to put a 90 degree turn in the flue and go out the wall. My cabin has a slanted, corrugated metal roof. After years of living in an RV, I have learned not to punch any holes in my roof, no matter what! However, the Cubic Stove company does not approve 90 turns in the flue. My son suggested a 45 degree turn. After watching this video, I am now perplexed. For one thing, I am 71 years old and there is no way I am going up on a slanted roof to clean out the flue. If I go out the wall at 45 degrees, will I be able to get double walled fittings as necessary? I ordered the Cub. Will it get as hot as the Grizzly? Any word of advice you can offer regarding my stove would be appreciated. I have not yet ordered any accessories, just the stove. I don't expect to get it installed til next summer, and I will have help, but cleaning the flue will probably fall on me, esp if it needs to be done often. Any ideas? Thanks and God bless! -Deb
I had several other videos in my Cubic Mini playlist documenting the creosote issues. I'm so sorry you didn't see them! The rubber gasket that I installed in the video is made to go unto a roof with a pitch up to 45%, and it has a pliable base that can go onto a corrugated metal roof. I think this fix, with adding the double wall pipe all the way through the roof is going to fix it so that I can clean out the flue only once or twice a year instead of every month. The 3" pipe is very hard to find, especially fittings. Cubic has the pipe, but not elbow fittings. There is another thing you could do. Cubic does have an adapter that will allow you to convert from the 3" pipe to a larger pipe, like 4" or 5". That way you could find 90 or 45 degree elbows locally. It is still not recommended to use 90 degree turns because it slows down the draw to much. But you can use two 45 degree turns, separated by some straight pipe in between. That will keep it drawing better. That way you could take it out the wall, which would be easier to clean out. ANY woodstove should be cleaned out at least once a year, if it is used on a regular basis. We use our all day, every day. If it is used less often, it wouldn't have to be cleaned out as often.
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree Thanks, Bill! As I said, I think God wants me to have this stove. I somehow missed the other videos. The adapter to larger pipe sounds like a good idea. I have plenty of time to research this and collect parts, also several possible advisors, tho none of them are familiar with the cubic stove. Thanks so much for the feedback, and good luck with the COPPA mess!
I concur. Straight up chimney is best. I have the same setup in my truck camper and I have identical results. I think I've posted in the past, but I can hit 500 on my stove (thermo on the side) stuffing it with compressed fire bricks. (Wood fuel blocks) For me, in my small space, they stack easy and are always dry. Menards here in the midwest sells 6 packs for just under 3 bux. (22 lbs of fuel). Nice thing about these blocks is they are 9 inches long and can fit diagonally in the stove. Cut them up and you can stack more inside. I've stretched out the heat for a few hours this way. It will never be an "over- nighter" type stove, but it sure helps when temps dip into the negatives. My propane certainly is thankful as well!❄❄
Nothing is as good as a wood burner for heat but the creosote is a problem that needs management even with a good flue setup. Nothing that a regular inspection and sweep cant keep the lid on but thanks for sharing your experience and solutions.
Whoop whoop 🙌 Go Bill, Go Bill!!! I’m so happy it’s working better for y’all!!! I hate to say it but I laughed when you made the mistake with the silicone😁. It’s something my husband would have done too. Sometimes we get a good laugh remembering some of the job mistakes we have done over the past 21 years😆 God bless!!! Love you two!!!
Thanks Bill -- I did purchase the stove several years back on your recommendation and have yet to install it because I couldn't locate the flange or the piece with orange you just installed on the roof. Recently I did purchase the flange from Cubic Stove. They are finally able to sell all the parts to install the stove properly. Only issue is that its Canadian and there is a fee on the credit card to convert the purchase price to Canadian and shipping is not cheap. I had purchased all the double-walled pipe from a local home improvement store so I would encourage anyone to shop some of those items should they want to get this stove. The Cubic store staff are very helpful, and the installation manual is so much better now then when the stove was first offered.
Great info! I ordered the stove and tools but not the pipe kit, plan to order that in a month or two. I'd watched your original install video and was confused thinking I needed single walled pipe in the house to let more heat into the house and double walled pipe for outside but the company doesnt sell single walked pipe. Thanks for clearing that up!
Good follow-up! Your very first video you did on the woodburner is when I first started watching your channel. I'm going to go look and see if I commented back then so I can see what the date was. This year I'm experimenting with the j-tube style rocket stove heater design.
Hi Bill! Great job on that. I love that little stove. How much space did the Cub heat up? I don't know why but I love the sound of the wood clunking together when you shove them into a stove or fireplace. Sounds of winter. I love the change of seasons. They all have unique sounds that go with them. Stay toasty. My love to you and Elisabeth. God Bless.😊❤
I hope you haven't started to reply to my earlier post today on your cub vs grizzly video. All my questions were answered here and I now appreciate the manufacturer's strong recommendation on using double walled flue pipe and no elbows. Thanks for posting and taking one for the team.
So happy to see that your prepared and warm for Winter. Hope you and Elizabeth enjoyed a Happy Thanksgiving at your sons? I'm subscribed to the old house restoration. Good health and Blessings...
Another great video, glad its working great to keep you two wonderful people warm all winter. When will we see the video of the front of your home wall renovation?
"Instructions are just another guy's idea of the way it should be done." I really like your little Grizzly stove. In a few years, when I retire, we may be heating with wood. It's good to know this little gem is out there. Linda and I send our best to you and Elizabeth in this Christmas season.
I have the same stove. I first seen that stove on one of your vids.... we have had our grizzly for about 2 months and we love it. THANK YOU for your vids or me and my wife would still be cold....LOL.
The wood also needs to be properly seasoned. I switched over to a pellet stove and I am so pleased. Have you looked into that option? So efficient and extremely safe.
Our wood is well seasoned. And I’m not interested in pellet stoves. I’m a prepper, after all. And I don’t want to rely on anything that I must purchase. Pellets might not always be available. Firewood is ALWAYS available!
It always looks so cozy inside your RV...glad you're such a great problem solver. Any plans for that overhang above the outside entrance stairs? Will make it easier to get in and out after snow storm.
Great Video. Love the home repair videos. Some of my favourite. If you don’t mind me making a suggestion, I would dricor over the sewers and all the way around the outside edge of the flange.
Its summertime..whaaa?? Lol..awesome! I love my grizzly..I plan on testing it in the up coming single digits next week. I'm going to put it up to a real good test. It did rather exceptionally well in 20 degree weather maintaining a 70-75 degree temp inside my 27 foot vintage camper. I plan on making this camper my retreat in the woods! Solar and woodstove. So let's see how that stove does. Looking forward to it. I love your mini cubic vlogs. Aww too bad about you deleting the older videos.
Greetings from Canada, I'm assuming your one of our neighbours to the south. Just a suggestion for what's above the cieling flange that surrounds your double walled stainless steel flue pipe. I noticed a gap all around the pipe for fire protection and could see how careful you were in centering the pipe within the opening using the flange as a guide. My concern is the gap is exposed to the cold temperatures and with the holes in the ceiling flange underneath that exposed ceiling cavity, cold air can sink and enter the conditioned room below. My suggestion is use roxsol insulation which is a mineral wool that gives fire protection as well as insulates. That removes that gap (code up here is a 2 inch gap all around whereas you have 1 inch gap). I would also use it above the roof line under the rubber shroud fitting it up against the pipe. If insulation is the issue then this method will tighten up your connection and provide a fire safe blanket around your pipe.
I have the grizzly in my 32’ coachman, our furnace does not work so I thought this would heat us up real good well it doesn’t put out crap for heat and quits burning if draft is not left wide open. I am using 3” hot water heater pipe going out a side window not gonna put holes in my roof!! Even with single wall pipe the heat is not enough unless you sit there and keep it fired hot, good part about my pipe is there has not been the sweating or build up of creosote that everyone else complains about. I like the stove but to me it’s just a oh how cute piece of furniture
Yours is not putting out enough heat because you have a bend in the pipe to go out the window. With a bend, it doesn't draw right, so it doesn't burn hot enough. Ours burns so hot, you cant get near it. It heats our entire RV when it's -10F outside! We love it!
Just was going to ask if you knew about taking out the plates as you said it. It took me a season of cleaning to figure out the plates came out also. So it wasn’t just you! I have double wall outside, and am considering wrapping with exhaust insulation wrap.
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree we where at -11 early today but it is warming up we use electric for heat for now but I can't wait to put in a wood stove. You are welcome to check out my channel I am uploading a new video with in the hour I only have 11 subscribers and don't know how to get traction yet. Well stay warm friends and God bless.
Alaskan Ken just subscribed! If you can also make a fbk page and promote you channel it might help some :) good luck 🍀 and I love Alaska I hope to come there one day.
A double wall , along with it being a strait vent......you should be golden! Also , a heck of a lot easier to clean. Really enjoy your videos btw! Thank you for taking the time to make them. If you ever make it to the Oregon coast when I'm there , I'll catch you guys some crab!
Thanks for redoing this installation! I bought a mini with one 2' section pipe and remembered your previous problems and the offset pipe with clean out. Straight up then! Any trouble with the screws in that removable baffle plate rusting out? Im preemptively worried about stripping one of them out someday and not being able to fix that.

Thanks Bill -- I did purchase the stove several years back on your recommendation and have yet to install it because I couldn't locate the flange or the piece with orange you just installed on the roof. Recently I did purchase the flange from Cubic Stove. They are finally able to sell all the parts to install the stove properly. Only issue is that its Canadian and there is a fee on the credit card to convert the purchase price to Canadian and shipping is not cheap. I had purchased all the double-walled pipe from a local home improvement store so I would encourage anyone to shop some of those items should they want to get this stove. The Cubic store staff are very helpful, and the installation manual is so much better now then when the stove was first offered.
Yay! Greatly needed topic to cover! Thanks. You sound like me with all those plans. Lol. BUT I'm so thankful for this highly educational video!
Great info! I ordered the stove and tools but not the pipe kit, plan to order that in a month or two. I'd watched your original install video and was confused thinking I needed single walled pipe in the house to let more heat into the house and double walled pipe for outside but the company doesnt sell single walked pipe. Thanks for clearing that up!
Thank you Bill I love hearing all this information this is great!
Great job Bill 🦌👨🏼🌾🦃🏡👫✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️💕❤️❄️🎄🐎⛄️🛷🎅
thank you for this video. I will probably never do that myself but I have liked to see you do it so perfectly. Happy holidays!
Love the videos! Very informative thank you so much. Hope y’all have a very Merry Christmas!
Another well done job, Bill! Cuddles to Leo :-)
I love that little stove! An easy fix to the hole you left behind would be a white flue stop.
Works like a charm.
Bill I don't think you put enough screws through that metal flange. LOL
Good follow-up! Your very first video you did on the woodburner is when I first started watching your channel. I'm going to go look and see if I commented back then so I can see what the date was. This year I'm experimenting with the j-tube style rocket stove heater design.
Your videos are always so interesting!
Nice Demo Bill! Thanks 💕
Great job !!.. Was hoping you'd sneak in a pic of the front end that you fixed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. God Bless 💟
Thanks so much! was just what i needed. Saved me a lot of time prop
Hi Bill! Great job on that. I love that little stove. How much space did the Cub heat up? I don't know why but I love the sound of the wood clunking together when you shove them into a stove or fireplace. Sounds of winter. I love the change of seasons. They all have unique sounds that go with them. Stay toasty. My love to you and Elisabeth. God Bless.😊❤
I love your how to fix videos, you made it look so easy... Happy Holidays!
I hope you haven't started to reply to my earlier post today on your cub vs grizzly video. All my questions were answered here and I now appreciate the manufacturer's strong recommendation on using double walled flue pipe and no elbows. Thanks for posting and taking one for the team.
So happy to see that your prepared and warm for Winter. Hope you and Elizabeth enjoyed a Happy Thanksgiving at your sons? I'm subscribed to the old house restoration. Good health and Blessings...
Excellent video once again. I bet you would make a great salesman for that woodburner company.
Just found the ecofan review. Very cool. 😀👍
Another great video, glad its working great to keep you two wonderful people warm all winter.
When will we see the video of the front of your home wall renovation?
"Instructions are just another guy's idea of the way it should be done." I really like your little Grizzly stove. In a few years, when I retire, we may be heating with wood. It's good to know this little gem is out there. Linda and I send our best to you and Elizabeth in this Christmas season.
Good explanation
I have the same stove.
I first seen that stove on one
of your vids.... we have had our grizzly
for about 2 months and we love it.
THANK YOU for your vids or me and my
wife would still be cold....LOL.
The wood also needs to be properly seasoned. I switched over to a pellet stove and I am so pleased. Have you looked into that option? So efficient and extremely safe.
Our wood is well seasoned. And I’m not interested in pellet stoves. I’m a prepper, after all. And I don’t want to rely on anything that I must purchase. Pellets might not always be available. Firewood is ALWAYS available!
Very helfpful. Thank you.
It always looks so cozy inside your RV...glad you're such a great problem solver. Any plans for that overhang above the outside entrance stairs? Will make it easier to get in and out after snow storm.
No, there are no plans for an overhang over the stairs.
Great Video. Love the home repair videos. Some of my favourite. If you don’t mind me making a suggestion, I would dricor over the sewers and all the way around the outside edge of the flange.
👍❤🙏👏👏👏 Rally very interesting your video and everything with very good explanations. So cute these stoves!
great video learned a lot, thanks for sharing this with us.
Its summertime..whaaa?? Lol..awesome! I love my grizzly..I plan on testing it in the up coming single digits next week. I'm going to put it up to a real good test. It did rather exceptionally well in 20 degree weather maintaining a 70-75 degree temp inside my 27 foot vintage camper. I plan on making this camper my retreat in the woods! Solar and woodstove. So let's see how that stove does. Looking forward to it. I love your mini cubic vlogs. Aww too bad about you deleting the older videos.
Greetings from Canada, I'm assuming your one of our neighbours to the south. Just a suggestion for what's above the cieling flange that surrounds your double walled stainless steel flue pipe. I noticed a gap all around the pipe for fire protection and could see how careful you were in centering the pipe within the opening using the flange as a guide. My concern is the gap is exposed to the cold temperatures and with the holes in the ceiling flange underneath that exposed ceiling cavity, cold air can sink and enter the conditioned room below. My suggestion is use roxsol insulation which is a mineral wool that gives fire protection as well as insulates. That removes that gap (code up here is a 2 inch gap all around whereas you have 1 inch gap). I would also use it above the roof line under the rubber shroud fitting it up against the pipe. If insulation is the issue then this method will tighten up your connection and provide a fire safe blanket around your pipe.
Excellent video!
I have the grizzly in my 32’ coachman, our furnace does not work so I thought this would heat us up real good well it doesn’t put out crap for heat and quits burning if draft is not left wide open. I am using 3” hot water heater pipe going out a side window not gonna put holes in my roof!! Even with single wall pipe the heat is not enough unless you sit there and keep it fired hot, good part about my pipe is there has not been the sweating or build up of creosote that everyone else complains about. I like the stove but to me it’s just a oh how cute piece of furniture
Yours is not putting out enough heat because you have a bend in the pipe to go out the window. With a bend, it doesn't draw right, so it doesn't burn hot enough. Ours burns so hot, you cant get near it. It heats our entire RV when it's -10F outside! We love it!
Im sure leo was a big help on this project!!!
Just was going to ask if you knew about taking out the plates as you said it. It took me a season of cleaning to figure out the plates came out also. So it wasn’t just you! I have double wall outside, and am considering wrapping with exhaust insulation wrap.
What is the coldest temperature you get in your area you don't want to know mine. Lol , I really like your stove. God bless
We get -10F on a regular basis.
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree we where at -11 early today but it is warming up we use electric for heat for now but I can't wait to put in a wood stove. You are welcome to check out my channel I am uploading a new video with in the hour I only have 11 subscribers and don't know how to get traction yet. Well stay warm friends and God bless.
Alaskan Ken just subscribed! If you can also make a fbk page and promote you channel it might help some :) good luck 🍀 and I love Alaska I hope to come there one day.
Another great video, I'm learning alot !!!!!!!!!!
So am I. LOL
A double wall , along with it being a strait vent......you should be golden! Also , a heck of a lot easier to clean. Really enjoy your videos btw! Thank you for taking the time to make them. If you ever make it to the Oregon coast when I'm there , I'll catch you guys some crab!
Thanks for redoing this installation! I bought a mini with one 2' section pipe and remembered your previous problems and the offset pipe with clean out. Straight up then! Any trouble with the screws in that removable baffle plate rusting out? Im preemptively worried about stripping one of them out someday and not being able to fix that.
No problems with screws rusting out. But then, we used the stove for 3 seasons, then sold the property it was on.
Hello I just found your channel.you and your wife are wonderful people the faith you have in God is refreshing. Please add me to your prayers please my name is Ruth I’m suffering with colon cancer. I hope to own a home one day and your videos are very helpful.Hello from California
