MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q: How do you have internet at your cabins? A: I have cell service at both cabins but it is spotty due to foliage and cloud cover. I can access the internet from my cabins but have to drive to a local wifi location to upload videos.
Q: How old is Frankie? A: Frankie will be 10 in April of 2018
Q: What video editing software do I use? A: Presently, all I use is Windows Live Movie maker but I’m considering trying imovie, Adobe Elements or SONY VEGAS PRO.
Q: How do you get your water? Did you dig a well? A: Presently, I haul water to the NY cabin but at the NH cabin, I drop a kettle into an old well that was dug by hand by the settlers in the 1700’s.
Q:What is your favorite brand of cast iron cookware? A: I prefer using vintage cast iron. My favorites are BSR and Griswold. If I had to buy new I would buy a Lodge Brand. I plan to purchase this dutch oven in the future:
Q: What do you use for refrigeration? A: We have a small gas refrigerator that we salvaged from an old Shasta camper and a custom icebox that I built into the cabin wall. We make ice on site with a propane freezer.
Video of icebox:

Q: What do you use for cooking and heating? A: We use a Kitchen Queen 380 for cooking and heating during the winter months but we also have an antique gas stove in the cabin for when we don't need the heat from the KQ.

Backwoods logic is back! I missed a lot!
It was a busy year but things are getting back to normal now :-)
Mom kept little cedar pieces for quick starts. She called it turning on the stove. We had an outside wood stove for summer and for boiling sap. What surprised Mom was her stove was made in 1890 and Sears still had parts in 1978. Canning was done on both stoves.
Great video Boss you should do a walk through of your 24x24 cabin
I will when it's done.
Nothing on this Earth can quite compare to the smell of bread baking or a casserole cooking in the oven of a wood cookstove. Bakers Choice Is what I have. Got to love it. All the best Boss and Boss lady
Couldn't agree more my friend :-)
Amazing a stove that size can heat the entire house, in sub-zero temps!! It's worth every penny. Boss, stay warm.
It has earned its keep for sure :-)
Thanks Boss: Brings back memories of my youth. Canadian Thanks giving smell of home made bread & a turkey big enough to feed 12. The light smoke aroma of a well cooked turkey, with all the fixings. Thanks for reigniting those feelings Brian 77
Gotta love it :-)
Woodstove cooking is the best. Never have to worry about losing power and not be able to cook. You are an inspiration. Thank you.
My Aunt cooked on a wood burning stove all her life. Boy could she cook, can food & bake 💜💜 Great memories...thanks 😁😁
I just scored a Pioneer Maid in the back of a barn for 60 bucks! I have wanted one ever since we started watching your videos Boss!!
안녕하세요.
I am so happy to see you have a happy energy.I hope you will always live happily with Frankie.
감사합니다.
Thank you
Wow yes Sir and yes Mam that is the Cadlac of wood cook stoves we have a friend that cooks all year round on her Kitchen Maid and have tasted some mighty good fixings thanks for showing us all those little details. (100 points PLUS) the Morins in Milo, Maine
That was great. I am enjoying my coffee this morning, watching your video in an off grid cabin. I ground the beans by hand, heated the water on the stove and an enjoying the peaceful sounds of the stove. Thank you for making your videos. I enjoy everyone of them.
No time like cabin time :-)))
Wow!!! The Kitchen Queen is a dream!!! God bless Boss.
God Bless
you always keep me smiling i like your ideas i have wood cook stove that i fire up my mom had a home comfort she gave thirty five dollars for it that was the good old days.
Your wood cook stove videos is how we found you, almost two years ago now, I think. We were in the market and ended up buying a Kitchen Queen 480. Now I’m not a materialistic person, but I’d like to see someone try to take my cook stove away from me. Lol. They would have a fight on their hands. I just love mine. I named her Queen Bess. I really appreciate your video; I learned a couple of things. Ironically, our first meal was Thanksgiving also-two years ago. And we opted for both glass doors, so I could see inside the oven as well. Two other things we purchased was the rear heat shield and the summer grate. Sounds strange I know, but it’s really helped me adapt after our move to NC. So glad you made this video. I wouldn’t have thought to move the hot coals away from the oven vent. And I’m going to start shutting down the front draft lever all the way. Thanks for the great video.
I usually run my front draft at the halfway point but all stoves are different.
Kitchen Queen Wood Stove should pay you for this advertisement. God Bless.
Your videos are my absolute favorite! I could just sit and binge watch them for hours.
Thank you Mary :-)
me also
Same😄👌🏻⭐️
Just found your channel. I’m 65 and just purchased my first Wood burning cookstove. Kitchen Queen 550. I am only about 2 hours north of Crofton KY, where these stoves are made, so I made an appt. and gave them a visit. Made by the Amish in a quiet little community. I spent about 2 hours there and had a very nice visit where the young man answered all if my questions. I had spent a good 6 months looking at various types of wood cook stoves before deciding on this. I did talk to Father God for advice. I was drawn to this stove. Well, I didn’t realize where Crofton was until I made my first call to the sale department. Isn’t that something...
So Monday, February 15, 2021, I called the sales rep, who is in Knoxville TN and placed the order for exactly what I wanted. Due to the high demand, it will be 8 to 10 weeks for delivery.
I’m not off the grid, but since I moved to the country, I knew I would need a backup plan. So, this type of heat serving multiple uses is a great addition. I’m excited for this new adventure.
I enjoyed your video. Thank you!
I hope you enjoy your 550. I've heard they made a lot of changes in the design from when they made the 380 that I have. I love my 380. It's perfect for our needs and serves us well. Best of luck to you :-)
Nice stove that brings back many real old memories and I do mean old
the chimney thermometer is really a great addition to boss it keeps my mind at ease.
I always feel better after watching your videos. Your a true gift, and it's wounderful of you to share yourself with us.
Thank you
My Mother baked and cooked on a Sears Kenmore wood stove with the reservoir . She sent a order to sears form parts and rebuilt the firebox.
Oh boss, I am so glad I have found you doing a kitchen queen video..
God bless you and your family
From your fan.
Literally was thinking of watching your videos when I got an email saying you uploaded one...another good one thanks boss
Thank you for saying so :-)
That's one more really nice stove. I can just imagine the smell of a fresh loaf of bread baking in that oven. That will warm your soul up really quick. Stay cozy snuggly warm up there, as we are trying to do here in the frozen south of North Carolina. We have recently had single digit weather here, and we are not used to that. However, we have survived thus far with our gas logs! They make life cozy and simple. However, they will never be able to compare to the warmth and coziness of a wood fired stove. Journey On!
It was 55 degrees yesterday and dropping to -6 tonight. Crazy weather here on the mountain :-o
Stay warm :-)
thank you for sharing......
Good vlog very informative bless you all
Blessings to you too Mary :-)
AWESOME!!! Is the only way to describe this video!! Thanks Boss!!Your killing us with not being able to see the new homestead inside or out!!!! lol Thanks Again
You'll see it when I'm ready to show it haha
Where I go on vacation in the summer, there are 3 cabins with wood cookstoves. they are great to cook on. waking up in the morning and starting the fire to make a nice cup of coffee is so pleasant.
Simple pleasures :-))
FORGOT TO SAY WE LOVE YOUR VIDEOS...BEST TO YOU!!
Thanks for the tutorial J.C.. Love the addition of the glass on the fire box. I could sit and watch that all night.
I watch it from my pillow haha
LOL
Thanks for sharing again. Great video to drink my coffee with.
Having my coffee while I read this :-)
Good morning to you.
The house where I was a child had a similar stove. On the coldest nites in upstate NY I would get out of bed and start the kitchen wood/coal stove. A couple curtains over the doors and I was comfortable in a big chair next to the stove. The place had a coal fired furnace in the cellar that would barely keep the plunbing from freezing. Parents did not care and Mom appreciated the coffee water already boiling when she got up.
As always awesome instructions think you missed your calling boss you woulda made a great teacher glad your enjoying life for what it is
Thank you
Your 2017 Kitchen Queen is more user friendly than my 1930 Home Comfort. I need to tend my fire more often and the dampers are trickier to use. The KQ burns cleaner and more evenly. I have to scape down the "clean out" monthly, to keep the oven draft free flowing.That said, I do enjoy using a piece of history and have it down to a science. Very gratifying to master this old fashioned art and tasty! KQ worth the investment. Thanks JC!
The antiques certainly have their charm. I loved my Crawford and there's things I certainly miss about it.
So since you like to cater to your youtube friends. I have a family of four let me know when you can stop by with a fresh cooked wood stove meal. Also my basset hound can eat his weight in meat so dont forget him please. LOL Thanks for the video
Another great video, JC. God Bless and stay warm, my friend.
God Bless :-)
JD....great to see you again..thank you for the video.
My pleasure :-)
That is really fun to watch. Hope someday to try it. Thanks . I'll watch more
JC, I used your Zuchinni Lasagne recipe last weekend. I’d never made lasagna before, but I’ll tell you this. It was perfect. My Girl Friend loves it, the left overs my daughter loved and I loved it. Thanks for your video. I was able to remember everything you said and made it from memory.
Awesome news Mike. We just had a red lasagna tonight, traditional meat and tomato type. I just love the stuff :-)
thebossoftheswamp you’ve got to send me the recipe for that one
Great Vid, Kitchen Queen Stove in adage: building a better mouse trap. Heat and gases of combustion travel under the oven for a more even cooking, not like stoves of yesteryear where heat travels over the top and down the side, also that over heats one side of oven on firebox side. Rule of Soiled Fuel Combustion is called: The Three Tees, aka Time Temperate and Turbulence... Myself back in the day fired High Pressure Coal Boilers and Garbage Incinerators too, raked and shoveled a lot of ash.
Great video. My dream is to have a wood stove one day. Thank you for sharing
Only thing to add is to keep water on the stove to add humidity back to the room... great vid and love our wood stove ✔
The kettles are on 24/7 :-)
Hey JC. I don't see any recent views . Do consider putting this out again for viewing. With so many folks at home and some out of work, a wood cook stove could help out many households. Of course there needs to be a safe chimney either already existing or installed, but I have been in a lot of houses where it was obvious a cook stove had once graced the kitchen. Our 1930 Home Comfort heats 1,000 sq. ft. I can cook, bake, heat hot water . So either a good used one or a new one can be a real help over this winter. Hope you and Lori are well underway for winter. How was your trip to NY? Hope you are feeling ok. You both have worked hard. Its been quite the journey, ever since you originally left NH for NY. All the best! ~ Diane & Jim
We are doing well. All our firewood is done and most of the garden has been pulled up. The canning is done also except for meat. I find it sad that MOST people who have a wood cookstove in their house, rarely and sometimes never use it for cooking. Most of the antique ones are used as home decor. So sad ;-/
Whenever I see a wood oven,I'm anxious to get home,but I'm satisfied to see the video as a substitute because it's hard to get into a house in downtown Korea.좋은 영상 감사합니다.
I enjoyed your demonstration of your stove it seem to work very good and I’ll be watching for some more have a good day God bless
Thank you and God Bless :-)
Very informative! I have often wondered how all of that worked. Baking buttermilk biscuits in one of these is now been added to my bucket list! Great video JC.
Wish I could have/afford one, right now. Great video on how to.
Awsome video we have a kitchen queen 480 love cooking on it that's all we use most of the year. Can't wait for more cooking videos!!
Nice stove Boss
I don't need a wood stove but now I want one. Love your videos.
oh how I LOVE the kitchen queen! THANKS JC!
Great instructions video. Awesome! Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden
Greetings back to you :-)
What I am really surprised at is that in the USA people do not use their wood stoves to heat their water directly using a coil or loop or tank in the fire box as well as a Muff or sleeve hot water tank on the smoke stack. My wood stove makes steam in min and ALL of my hot water is totally free. I did a video on my Illegal Wood stove that talks all about this that is well worth your watching. Thanks again. Jim
I had a water coil in my 480 and never used it. Kettles on the stove is how I roll buddy. No changing me now.
Drooling!!! That stove is to die for!! Great learning video! Thank you.
I love that stove! Someday before I die, I'm gonna get me one! Awesome video!👍
Put it on the old credit card....when I die I want the check to the undertaker to bounce.
Another great video. Thank you.
Nice overview. I'm gonna have a wood burning cook stove in my remote cabin when I build It! It's still in dream mode but one day!
well thats just good back woods logic ! classic. thanks
I just bought one from, wait for it...Miller's country store in Burke N.Y. I live just down the road....can't wait for delivery
Awesome. Good luck with your new stove -)
out standing vid. thank you. I am a truck driver and when ever I am in your neck of the woods I think about yeh. some day it will be me, living in my barn. thanks for the vids.
Beautiful stove. Thanks for the demo. Have you heard of the Eco Fan? Doug & Stacy use one. They just gave a great demo about using the ECO Fan used for the top of the stove which helps circulate the heat. The Amish use it too.
I never found the need for one because the heat seems to circulate just fine in here on it's own. Those fans are pretty cool but expensive and I'd rather put the money someplace else. Neat little gadget though :-)
another awesome video. Great backwoods logic.
Love your stove.
I've always wanted one unfortunately not conducive to my house but do have a wood stove in my basement. Thanks for the demo.😎
I've been wanting one of these for months now, I just need to figure out shipping to Europe :-)
Great video Boss, thanks for sharing.
Hello from Timmins On Canada! I'm new to watching TH-cam videos and came across yours. Got hooked right away, love the life style.
Thank you and welcome to my channel Doug :-)
Only have a heating stove, would love to replace it with one of these one day.
Very informative video! GOD bless. JC
God Bless
I love your new wood stove... thanks for those great explanations, JC.
awesome stove, I would watch that window like a fire in a fireplace. I am guessing that the stove is more temperature true than most!
It's just plain awesome :-)
Great video Boss!!!!👍
Thank you Andrew :-)
Great stove. Keep a pot of beans or stew cooking on cold days.
Wood fires can reduce the humidity in your house. Keep a kettle of water on one end when using it just for heat.
Kettles on 24/7 :-))
thebossoftheswamp My parents have a Franklin style fireplace.
It gets hot enough I guess you could cook on it.
Great tutorial and presentation bud. Well done. I cook, heat water and bake on a regular one all winter with the help of a dutch oven. Love to own that KQ though. Nice that you mentioned not to use wet wood from outside. That can also cause thermal shock and crack the firebrick in the stove. Anyway my friend many thanks as always. Loving the NH cabin videos. Hope you'll keep them coming. Take care.
Thanks buddy and yes, I will continue to post on Utube but will have some cool add ons on the patreon page :-)
Well I read all the comments and replies. Wow. Lots of mention about Frankie, wood and recipes. Pretty simple here. Just have a blessed year and can’t wait for the oatmeal recipe. : )
Great video Boss-Man. Thanks so much!!
My pleasure :-)
thebossoftheswamp
Hey sir boss I have never replied to your videos but I've watched everyone. Hope Frankie and the lady you're okay. Building my own cabin starting in May wish you were there to help. But I have 5 boys in the construction industry and I spent many many years there myself I'll try and keep in touch hate to see you leave TH-cam with this many and fun things that you've done. Great video going to get me one of those in my cabin. Sincerely Mark and Kimber
Awesome. Thank you.
Yet again great video with NO BS content, I just turn my son on to your chanel that lives like you and he loves it.
You need you throw in your signature saying Yes-Sir a bit more, we all love hearing it...
Until your next upload.
Thanks for sharing my channel. I appreciate that... Yessah :-)
That's a nice stove Boss, thanks!
We've been experimenting at the cabin with baking right inside the firebox of the wood stove. I've done a number of foil meals and even baked some bread! Lots of fun on a cold winter day.
Sounds great. Done a lot of that myself over the years :-)
Alright another video from the Boss!
Awesome information!!! Thank you very much!! Take care 🙂🐕
Love that stove JC! I very much enjoy your videos. You and Lori and Frankie have a nice day! God Bless you all.
Wonderful how to bossman.
Thanks Boss !
Great video! Thanks for your time and sharing tips for cooking on the Kitchen Queen. I can see the joy of you have cooking on it.
loved it!! Makes me want to get a slab of bacon and a book and watch the fire roll!!
Great video Boss, very interesting 👍😊
Great how to. Stay warm and always look forward to your updates.
Boss,
Fantastic.... I love that stove and I love your enthusiasm.
Thank you :-)
This is my third BL video, all because of his demeanor! THANK YOU Sir! "And now,... I'm gonna go mutilate some Wal-Mart stainless steel pots.. UH HAHA !!" 😉 that was the hook... lol
I just subscribed a few moments ago sir. And in reading comments here and there, I send you good vibes after reading of Frankies passing. I bid you a peaceful year. Stay upbeat, it works! ALL the best to you, from dannydan
Nicely done. You covered everything that some of us take for granted. I find myself giving the abbreviated version of your video everytime I see a wisp of smoke a visitor lets out while enjoying firing my stove. Later and enjoy life.
Thanks for the video really like your stove
Cool! This was a great vid! I want one now thanks :)
Great video Boss, Im going to have one in my new cabin. Cant wait to cook on it.Be safe, g
God Bless
God Bless
I see on the town site that you have had 43 inches of snow. Glad I am well south. Great video on the wood stove.
It's half way between my knee and my hip already.
Hello and Welcome to 2018 sir. I love these wood stove videos whether it's cooking caring for or install etc I enjoy these videos from you. Good to see your videos and I hope all is well up there!
Glad you enjoy them and thank you for saying so.
Another great vid. I am building this year, maybe add a Kitchen Queen!
Good plan :-)
Great video! I like the looks of that Kitchen Queen. If my 1950’s Gothic Wehrle ever gives out, I’m buying one.
Y’all take care, the ice storm is on the way.
Putting chains on the ranger soon :-)
Yes Sir, if we lived back in NH this would definitely be a stove for us. But not much call for it in FL. LOL. We have had several fires in our little stone fireplace this winter. Looks like we may get another cold snap starting this weekend!! Stay warm up there Boss.
Good. Idea have Ben using wood stove for over thirty years always wanted a kitchen queen I saw on the Walton movie John boys dad dipped a piece of kindling in a kerosene can they kept close to the kitchen to quick start stove fire I use newspaper and scraps but very nice video thanks for posting
Thank you David. We use birch bark for starting fires Enjoy the video th-cam.com/video/P1NZ4PYiTP8/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this video! I love that stove!😇😇😇
