    Nice one guys. Rambler's looking great Benny, big shout out to Keith for his skilled assistance ...and a big shout out to Alan for her un-wavering support! 😄😄👍👍

    I love watching things come together nicely and the "steampunk" flue is really nice! Very cool how it leaves a space for a kettle on top.

    I want a tiny boat. That cute wood burner. Think I'm falling for Rambler. Its surprising what you can fit in a tiny boat. 💚

    How awesome that Benny and Keith were able to install a new wood burner into Rambler. Now your little boat has heart and soul to sing, dance, and cruise in comfort and cozy-warmth. 🔥🌈🧡🎶🪕🎸

    So pleased that you shared the install of the Mighty No. 1 with us! There's nothing like a log/coal burner for real warmth, especially if you can persuade someone else to clean the chimney...There are several alternative ways of de-sooting the chimney. The Victorians used a small child, or a live chicken, or a small holly bush. I thought Alan was looking anxious ...Thanks!

    For all those in the comments saying it is illegal to burn coal (there is a big difference between house coal, which most boaters have never used as it’s really dirty and and the types you can burn) - please check your facts instead of accusing people of breaking the law

    Love watching other people work and you get A for effort. As an old tired trades inspector a few things for what it’s worth.
    The flue/chimney is going to be difficult to clean with the offsets. To clean it properly you will have to disassemble it behind the stove which will be messy.
    The best way is always to make the flue/chimney go straight vertical into the stove like your other boat so the brush cleans it throughout.
    Another thing is where it penetrates the roof it should be all noncombustible metal with 1” air space clearance around the pipe. It’s possible to get a chimney fire if you get distracted and forget the draft open. Creosote chimney fires can burn like a torch approx 2400f.

    You can begin to see in Rambler, the same homely style of Roisin Dubh developing, as Benny progresses with the fit out. Not sure how much office and studio, versus home it will be, but a cooker is going in, so interesting to see.

    I love that stove, burning both wood and coal. Your boat decor is cozy and charming and once you're finished remodeling, it's going to be a beautiful place to call home.

    You can fit a back boiler to a morso, well worth doing. Install a radiator in the bedroom problem solved, much better than burning a second load of fuel in a second stove.

    The little stove looks great 🎉🎉 did you know you can get a 'back boiler' that goes inside the Morso and it will run a radiator or two for the bedroom, I had one on my 50 barge and it worked really well, used 22mm pipe so no pump required just worked on convection with the hot water,

    Take the baffle plate out first, then put some newspaper in to collect debris. Sweep chimney. Leave for a day. Take newspaper out. Brush around inside where baffle plate will sit, preferably whilst you have the vacumn machine nozzle inside the fire. Refit next day, job done.

  • @loulou6760

  • @CS-ig6xd
    @CS-ig6xd ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's so nice to watch a DIY install and it to be good! For tiling behind the sink on flexible ply, consider good quality self adhesive mosaic tiles. They have a little bit of give, but you can still grout them, so look and feel good. Plus very easy to install on inverted faces etc..

    Rambler is looking mighty fine. Loving the Pipsqueak Multi-burner. Perhaps Emily would like one for the bedroom? Alan sure was a big help with the installation, her expertise is invaluable when it comes to fitting out wee Rambler.
    Hope you all are well ~ keep warm ~ as always Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾🤗💞
    FYI ~ Making a little side door in the back of the platform the stove sits on. Then you could reach the very back without trouble. Sort of a little hide-dee-hole. 🤣

  • @outanet
    @outanet ปีที่แล้ว +1

    top tip, one or two little computer fans to circulate the air and maintain a constant temp at the back of the boat., roof to the rear, floor to the burner. they dont take much power but make a big difference an hour before bedtime.

    • @R0ckMum
      @R0ckMum ปีที่แล้ว

      Or you can get the fans that use no power, they use heat. You leave it on top of the stove, it heats up and starts spinning and only stops when the fire dies right down. It works by convection and heat radiation through the metal. Science.

    Just something you might not be aware off when you empty the ash you should leave around half inch in the bottom it extends the life of the unit and will allow better heat transfer.

  • @davidyendoll5903
    @davidyendoll5903 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Loved your video . Thanks for clearing up the myth of freezing conditions in canal boats over the winter .
    Someone else has already said about installing a radiator , but I reckon a small insulated hot water storage tank would be worth considering too . I installed a whole coal fired back boiler system with tanks and radiators in my first house with no previous plumbing experience . If you use copper piping , which I did , choose pipe fittings which are pre soldered , called Yorkshire fittings . For a plumbing newby these make decent connections with relative ease over just copper fitting which need to be fed solder .
    My back boiler , the same sort of fire as you have basically but including a built in water heating jacket , had a thermostatically controlled air vent . This was a mechanically controlled device , it was not electrically controlled . I mention this because a few times I found that ash particles had been spat out of the grate and had fallen into the vent area . This meant the vent could not close properly causing the fire to roar out of control . That could be very dangerous . Ensure the vent areas are clean , especially before going to bed or leaving the fire unattended . This might not apply to the design of your fire , just saying !
    There are devices you can buy that sit on the fire that act on the rising heat and turn a fan which helps spread the heat about ....
    Have a warm Xmas . Cheers and thanks again !

    Arghh at last heat and yes I agree it is like its ❤️ lol had to laugh at the tiny tools for it lol I still think your making great progress and now you have heat there really is no stopping you and it will be nice to keep it aired too and keep mould at bay. Look after yourselves and Alan see in the next video can't wait 😀 ❤😂 xx

  • @PaulFisher-uj9vb
    @PaulFisher-uj9vb ปีที่แล้ว

    Just to say, I used a pipsqueak on a Norman 23 for 6 years ,living full time. I’m not criticising for the sake of it ,just being factual,
    Your flue run is too close to the wall,you would be safer to angle round to 45 degrees, I guarantee that the flue heat will be far higher than you think. The rubberised collar will work fine. Obviously you have to cut wood to about eight inches but you can top load. To comply with boat safety regulations you will need to anchor the base plate down.I’m open to any sensible discussion regarding the aforesaid. Great little stove btw . Top tip, the baffle plate is held in with a Philips head bolt, change it immediately for a robust bolt that you can get a socket on, you will need to remove it to flue clean properly. Also make it a weekly job to flue clean. Hope this all makes sense.

    Ive lived on my boat for 24 years and the first thing people ask is " is it cold in winter". I tell them i sit in candle light shivering with a dew drop on the end of my nose 😅😅😅. Actually my first winter was a steep learning curve but since then ive been toasty. I heat the boat with a kabola diesel boiler running four radiators.

    I noticed that benny has installed his stove .. again well done to him .. a visit to a tile supplier perhaps they have a few they could give you .??????
    Anyway keep safe and well.. I am looking forward to the next video of your life on the canals.😺

    I love your wee rambler with the wee stove. A grown up play house😅.
    I've just re done my wood stove. Ouch $250 dollars for getting the glass fittings renewed and new firebricks (which I had to resize, fortunately I have a grinder) . To give an idea of that, that's half my weekly NZ pension! Next I need to give the chimney a proper sweep now I have a brush. Using a stick and rag only sort of works and not the whole way down. So we'll be right for next year. Though the way the weather has been lately, cold and wet all spring and rare days of warmth . I might be having a fire for Christmas.

    Nice little stove. Oct here has mostly been at -6C The little wood stove in the Kitchen has kept the house warm. Last couple weeks of Nov dropped to -12C. Had to have a short fire in the pellet stove in the main room once to maybe twice a day. Now it's -17C I think the pellet stove is going to run 3 times a day. It's still warm for Alaska.. Always thought it would be interesting fitting out the inside of a Narrow boat. Well done!

    I have a fear of heights too. But I choose to over come it by redefining it. I now suffer from a fear of not bouncing. Laughing at it make me feel better, so long as I'm not high up! I would of crawled down the path too.
