I wanted nothing more in my entire life than to live in a beautiful cabin with a wood-burning stove a nice garden and a few chickens and a couple of nice dogs. Maybe one day my dream will come true. Thank you for sharing this installation and first fire. Wish I were there.❤
I want the same thing but I know I'll never be able to afford my own land so I'm building a tiny home trailer and going to just rent some land from a friend on ten acres. Then once I start living cheaper hopefully eventually I can save up for my own land.
Most people won't understand why we get so excited about a wood stove. What a beauty. I especially love the bypass for the catalytic combuster. Every season I get anxious to light my cabin stove . Love the heat. Have a great week Chuck. Thanks for sharing
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.
I'm getting my brand new one on the 12th of September. There's nothing better than being able to watch the 🔥 on a freezing winter night, and feeding that there fire when you get up to go deer hunting. I don't particularly care if I get a deer every day, but I do care about being in my hunting cabin at night with a good old fire. My old stove done gave up the ghost, and this one ought to last the rest of my days.
Man, that first burn. Its hard to explain that to People who dont have ,or have never used, wood stoves . And the cabin is coming along very nicely ! Thanks for taking us along sir.
I just installed my Blaze King Ashford stove. Been over a year since I ordered it, took 8 months to manufacture stove from time or order. Even tho I am NOT excited about winter approaching (NYS Adirondack Foothills, gets down to -20f or so) I AM excited about my first fire in new unit. My old stove was a non-airtight Dover coal/wood stove and packed full of good hardwood I could get maybe 4 or 5 hours and it has always been cold in the morning. I am hoping to save wood and not be cold in the morning with this new stove. Also bought a WarpFive sterling engine fan...............can't wait to try that also.
With that large glass door that fire will be so nice at night, being able to see the flame is so relaxing and heartwarming. Love what you have accomplished so far.
I bought a Blaze King - Chinook 20. I can confirm, I was burning 50% less wood per season than my standard Air tight I had before. Can't say enough great things about Blaze King! Also, Canadian Made!
You could get 2 water heaters and strip them down to bare metal and put one on each side. Fill them with an antifreeze fluid. They will get warm and keep your house warmer a lot longer.
Beautiful installation Mr porter all about staying warm during those long winter night's think I'm going to look in to one for our cottage in northern Georgian bay in Ontario thank you and stay warm
Hey Chuck, bought the same stove last year. Heats my 3200 square ft. home without missing a beat. Filling it up once a day right now in the shoulder season. Worth every penny imo.
Oh heck yeah!! South Mississippi here. Had a Buck 81 installed in our old house the day before thanksgiving last year. I thought it would never get cold!! HAAA!!! I started accumulating my firewood a year in advance. Like a kid at Christmas. Loved the video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Great stove Chuck. You could get an Eco Fan to set on your stove to circulate the heat. It requires no electricity and you can use it in the hot tent too. Happy to be following along
I really enjoyed this video! I'm developing our 40 acres in northern Idaho. My shop is up and I have a wood stove set up in it. I bought a less expensive woodstove for the shop. We'll buy a much nicer one for the house! For the shop stove, one thing I did was to set stove pipe on it and lit the first three break-in fires in it outdoors. Those burns cured the paint and burned off the manufacturing oils, which left the smells and smoke from a new stove outside before installing it. Winter is upon us here and while we won't see the low temp's you will, it's still cold. There is snow on the ground outside as I write this!
I bought a Blaze King Queen back in the '80's. I put a single wall flue up to the ceiling. The stove along with the single wall flue sucked out so much heat into the house, on a cold morning, the smoke was white, like it was steam and barely crested the chimney and then crawled down the outside of the chimney down to the roof. Downside was the flue inside the house only lasted one burn season as it got eaten through. In colder parts of CA, I got away with using only one cord of good hardwood.
I’m estimating 4 cords for me a winter. Which is down from the 5 I would burn in my old stove. The control of the blaze king is my favourite feature. Literally tuning it to the degree I want, and burning that 20% less wood. I burn mainly spruce and larch, supplemented with a little bit of birch every now and then
@@ChuckPorterEverythingOutdoors I think those are low density firewoods. I bet you could get away with 2 higher density varieties like black oak or what we call tan oak in our area.
I have watched numerous stove and pipe installations and this seemed to be very easy. It always looks easier when you watch instead of having to do the install yourself but still it looked simple.
What a great video. It is wonderful to see a nice relaxed demonstration from start to finish on how to work with a Blaze King stove. One observation I have is that the by-pass door has a latching click when it is closed. In the video you just let it rest in the closed position. If you pushed on the handle a little bit, when in the closed position, you would have heard it click. This is the sound that tells you that the by-pass door is not only closed but latched. Again a wonderful delivery and demonstration.
Thanks for your input!!! I did not realize that you could “lock” in the bypass door! I tried it right after reading your comment!! Thanks for the tip. I’ve been burning it non-stop ever since and am already in love with it!! Thanks for making such a beautiful and trustworthy product👍👍
I was going to say the same thing. We have had our Ashford 30 for three years now and we love it. You also have to make sure you open the by pass before opening the glass door to prevent smoke from entering the cabin.
PWR sports has all my favorites. Wish we had an everything store in Alaska. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy watching after a hard days work at the cabin building and prepping for winter.
Howdy Chuck. You are absolutely right about lighting a fire in a woodstove for the first time. Absolutely a beauty of a stove you have their!! Keep up the amazing work. Coming along fantastic! Thanks again for your TH-cam channel!! Loves it Cheers Steph
Good job again , I watched this video 9 months ago , started watching your content over again like I said before I have the same stove you explained it perfectly that’s exactly how it works and it works great , I don’t always leave a comment but I love all your content, keep up the good work you give me a lot of good ideas I live on a 12 acre piece of bush land with two quarters of land to hunt and your so right we get 6 months of winter. Keep up the good videos.
Chuck I like your stove, BUT....... I love your Toller. What a humdinger! I had one for fifteen years, 'Sammy' the wonder dog. You will never regret your new friend. Keep well.
Congratulations on the cabin. Done the same in 21. Love it. I probably would of run another section of double wall just to keep the heat off the ceiling. I done pine board’s and kept the single wall back 20” just to be safe.
Really enjoying following along with your dream build! I also burn full time in my home. I would be very interested in seeing how you make out with the stove long term. Hopefully an honest review on how you made out with maintenance of the catalyst and how long it lasts before replacement is needed in your case. Awesome progress, everything looks amazing!
Good job on the install , I have that exact stove works great makes a big difference with the fans I’ve noticed, I know exactly what your saying it’s so exiting to install a wood stove , I also have the big blaze king it still burns the smoke but a more simple system, I’ve had it for 34 years , they are very good stoves , thanks for that video keep up the good work
you should set your air cotrol to 3/4 open on start up when you have the door cracked open. if you leave the door cracked open too long the air control will shut itself down so when you close the door the stove will not have any air for the fire. you will figure this out quickly if it happens. also have you figured out how to lock the bypass yet? you keep closing it but you need to push down on it to move it into the locked position. not doing this will shorten your burn time considerably. you should also definitely get the fan on that model. all of the heat sits up in the top of the stove between the firebox and the cast iron plate. the fans are designed to push the heat out of that space and into the room. you'll notice a difference
I have had constant burning in this stove since the video. I lock the bypass and also open it up while I crack the door to input more wood. Figuring it out as I go along. I’m absolutely loving it
Hello Chuck, a very nice video. Your oven, is very beautiful. This one works with internal recirculations and a bypass control. Very old and nothing new in the industry. I recommend you, especially the parts and gaps, which you do not see, from time to time, to check and clean. When cleaning inside, it starts, because the gaps are not very wide. A beautiful and good furnace, however, without maintenance it does not work so well. I can tell you so, with over 40 umpteen years, experience in the combustion technology, one has for various points a view. Greetings from Frankfurt
Hello Chuck, I wanted to reach out and thank you for sharing all your adventures and experiences. You and your family are wonderfully entertaining and informative. I have introduced my class to your channel. They love it. I teach construction and woods classes at a senior high school in Minnesota. Thank you Sir, Kevin Norman
You are right about the feeling of the wood stove install. We put ours in last year, when we added a sunroom to our home. This install enabled us to heat with wood all winter. My dream stove was a Hearthstone soapstone stove. I was blessed to find one used for $600. I love it.
Super pumped for you and this stove Chuck! Keep me posted…… perhaps it’s time to upgrade the cast iron fisher papa bear stove at our off grid property. Enjoy!!!
Congratulations Chuck! Blaze King has been a top stove for years. Definitely an investment that most likely will be warming your grandchildren. We also heat with wood. We're traveling now but im looking forward to having the first fire of the season when we return in November. Be well. Good journeys. Happy trails!
Hi Chuck, I understand your excitement with the installation of a wood stove. I haven't had the pleasure of enjoying wood heat for nearly 30 years, since I left Newfoundland. Enjoy!
I always wanted a blaze king for my house live in northern Ohio always look more winter time witch isn’t the time to look no discounts really need one it just was -35 and my king pellet stove just wasn’t cutting it
Hey Chuck! Ken here. Now that’s a fine stove. I like it. Any time I ever started a fire in a new stove I had to open all windows and doors. The paint on the stove burning off was bad. Same with new stove pipe. You’re sure gonna have a nice home.
You will love the stove. I put the princess model in my cabin last year. Burnt 1/3 less wood over the season. Only problem I had was it’s too efficient. The exhaust temp is so low I had condensation problems in the chimney. With your relatively short insulated chimney you’re good to go. Don’t expect to see flames in the firebox rely on the gauge on top to tell you how it’s burning and when to add wood.
@@michaelvasquez5761 unfortunately there was nothing I could do to remedy the problem I had about an 8ft horizontal run of stove pipe then into a Masonary chimney. The chimney was just too long. I moved the stove from the house to my cabin where the chimney is like Chucks and it work’s awesome.
There is nothing finer than a wood stove. I am lucky to be able to have one in my house. I would not part with it. I did the same with my wood stove. When you come in from the cold, the fire is cozy and the sound and smell of the fire is warming as well....awesome Chuck...really enjoying the build !!
Well Chuck...I can't agree with you more about the excitement of lighting up a new stove...nothing better than wood heat...beautiful stove and very efficient...gone are the days of a 45 gallon drum made into a stove haha.. the place looks awesome.. enjoy your dream home buddy 👍
i love the blaze king line. i was looking at a princess for a long time but went with Jotul smaller non catalytic instead. its about as simple and reliable as a stove can get. if i ever decide to get another, it will be a blaze king. thanks for posting the video. love the cabin and location.
Beautiful stove and cabin. I have the Blaze King Ashford insert and I love it. I’m like you. I find a lot of pleasure in a quality wood stove. Note: It may take more than one burn to fully cure the paint.
What a dandy stove....you will be in money in the long run for sure....i'm a firm believer in the old saying "you get what you pay for ".... congratulations
Now that's a stove... Up to 30 hrs of burn time.. amazing!! That is certainly the wood stove for a home. Enjoy your caveman TV, I can watch that channel for hrs.
that's one of the strongest best built chimneys i've ever seen . If you want the ultimate in efficient wood burning stoves you will have to move up to a masonry or soapstone 'oven' . i have a two ton Finnish soapstone stove that is a down draft system. my house is 2500 sq.ft and i only use about 2.5 to 3 cords of wood per year in the mountains of the black forest of Germany . These stoves are true secondary combustion stoves but what really sets them apart from ALL other stoves is their ability to store the heat that is being produced . very little heat is wasted up the chimney . one firing every second day of around two to three hours is enough to keep the house near 70 deg F during that time .
Awesome stove Chuck! The efficiency is amazing. If you're going to outfit a place to live, you may as well spend the extra money for quality stuff. Looking forward to the next video!
I wanted nothing more in my entire life than to live in a beautiful cabin with a wood-burning stove a nice garden and a few chickens and a couple of nice dogs. Maybe one day my dream will come true. Thank you for sharing this installation and first fire. Wish I were there.❤
It’s a beautiful thing to have a nice wood stove. To compliment it with building a my dream log cabin just makes it better. ❤️👍
I really hope that it does ❤
I want the same thing but I know I'll never be able to afford my own land so I'm building a tiny home trailer and going to just rent some land from a friend on ten acres. Then once I start living cheaper hopefully eventually I can save up for my own land.

I like the bypass option too Robert. You always have that avenue if the catalyst failed etc 👍

Congratulations! A warm fire, a good dog (or 2), a great book, and little human contact makes for a pleasant winter!
absolutely. It’s a glorious life👍

Cool idea
2 years ago i needed a new wood stove, so i bought a Buck 74 w/ the catalytic converter from Lowe's, 3,ooo.xx & now wish i'd of bought a Blaze King...
Loved your video. Thanks!
Beautiful installation Mr porter all about staying warm during those long winter night's think I'm going to look in to one for our cottage in northern Georgian bay in Ontario thank you and stay warm
These are really popular in these parts. Incredible control on the thermostat, especially once you get used to them

My favorite kind of wood stove is the kind with the big window in the door for good relaxing fire watching. 👍💯
It’s an awesome stove. I’m liking it more and more every day!!
Thank You Chuck !
Great stove Chuck. You could get an Eco Fan to set on your stove to circulate the heat. It requires no electricity and you can use it in the hot tent too. Happy to be following along
Tks Scott. I have one of those fans on my old stove. It does work quite well

It was fairly simple and has been working perfectly
Ya, the Blaze King is a GREAT choice for you, as you have 6 months of Winter; and maybe 3 months of poor sledding. Love the video!
I'm sold on the stove! Build a cabin over the winter ❄️
Stove technology has come so far now. Going to be great for you guys.
That's a serious piece of kit! The cabin life looks pretty ideal.
Nothing like a wood burning stove on a cold Canadian winter. Beautiful stove Chuck.
What a wonderful stove! Very impressive features and functionality!
What a great video. It is wonderful to see a nice relaxed demonstration from start to finish on how to work with a Blaze King stove.

very cool My Son ! :)
Best wood stove ever make. Over the years we have half dozen. Blaze King folks
Awesome to hear!!!
wood stoves are the best!!!
We just got ours too. We love it. Super efficient and absolutely beautiful and built to last forever
The first burn in a new stove, something satisfying about that. Thanks for sharing!!
Great video Chuck
Nice .
They make a triple lined stove pipe too. You can have a blazing hot fire and lay your hand on the pipe and it's just warm.
Howdy Chuck. You are absolutely right about lighting a fire in a woodstove for the first time. Absolutely a beauty of a stove you have their!! Keep up the amazing work. Coming along fantastic! Thanks again for your TH-cam channel!! Loves it

What a great stove !!
Guess everyone really really liked the stove wow
They sure did Kevin. Personally I absolutely love it

Thanks Henry. I'm glad to hear I summed it up accurately to your experience as well. Appreciate you leaving a comment sir!
happy for ya Chuck! nothing but a great feeling setting that first fire!
well done i have had mine 8 years and cook on it during cold weather
Awesome to hear Roy. I will cook on mine on a regular basis
Yup just got it done yesterday- waiting on inspection-ten months from placing order!
Chuck I like your stove, BUT....... I love your Toller. What a humdinger! I had one for fifteen years, 'Sammy' the wonder dog. You will never regret your new friend. Keep well.
Loving our toller “Aspen”. She’s a delightful little dog. Well behaved, quiet and lovable. 👍❤️
First time watching...I love the dogs.
That stove will serve you well for years by looks of it.
Lovely home and nice stove
Nice
Congratulations on the cabin. Done the same in 21. Love it. I probably would of run another section of double wall just to keep the heat off the ceiling. I done pine board’s and kept the single wall back 20” just to be safe.

Wow!!! 34 years!!!!
Beauti of a woodstove you got their Chuck, I hope it keeps you warm as toast all winter long
Nothing compares to wood heat and to have a stove that burns that efficient is the way to go..windows and stain look awesome..👍👍
you should set your air cotrol to 3/4 open on start up when you have the door cracked open.
if you leave the door cracked open too long the air control will shut itself down so when you close the door the stove will not have any air for the fire. you will figure this out quickly if it happens.
also have you figured out how to lock the bypass yet? you keep closing it but you need to push down on it to move it into the locked position. not doing this will shorten your burn time considerably.
you should also definitely get the fan on that model. all of the heat sits up in the top of the stove between the firebox and the cast iron plate. the fans are designed to push the heat out of that space and into the room. you'll notice a difference

I wanted to reach out and thank you for sharing all your adventures and experiences. You and your family are wonderfully entertaining and informative.
I have introduced my class to your channel. They love it. I teach construction and woods classes at a senior high school in Minnesota.
Thank you Sir,
Kevin Norman
Awesome Kevin. I’m so happy you guys are tuning in. Another video this Thursday. Say hello to the class for me!!👍

Super pumped for you and this stove Chuck! Keep me posted…… perhaps it’s time to upgrade the cast iron fisher papa bear stove at our off grid property. Enjoy!!!
Thanks Tom. I will most definitely update folks as the winter progresses. Compare wood consumption, longevity of burns, retention of heat etc.
That stove looks amazing Chuck! I was just as excited waiting for you to reveal it haha can’t wait to see the cabin complete!
Congratulations Chuck! Blaze King has been a top stove for years. Definitely an investment that most likely will be warming your grandchildren. We also heat with wood. We're traveling now but im looking forward to having the first fire of the season when we return in November. Be well. Good journeys. Happy trails!
👍👍👍
I feel warm and cozy already just watching that first burn. 👍
Going to be nice a cozy in that cabin/home Chuck, Wishing you and your family all the best in the coming months.
Hi Chuck, I understand your excitement with the installation of a wood stove. I haven't had the pleasure of enjoying wood heat for nearly 30 years, since I left Newfoundland. Enjoy!
Your home is coming along pretty good! Stay warm Chuck..
A new wood stove is like a new baby...everybody gets excited! Efficiency sounds good. Love the pups.👍😎🇨🇦🐾🔥
Seems quite a good investment for your cabin! Hope you have many, many cozy, warm times with it!
I always wanted a blaze king for my house live in northern Ohio always look more winter time witch isn’t the time to look no discounts really need one it just was -35 and my king pellet stove just wasn’t cutting it
I think I'll head out to the cabin just to light my stove....
What a beauty, Chuck!
Haha!!! There you go Jim!!👍
Another awesome video Chuck! Absolutely worth the investment in your full time off grid home!
Hey Chuck! Ken here. Now that’s a fine stove. I like it. Any time I ever started a fire in a new stove I had to open all windows and doors. The paint on the stove burning off was bad. Same with new stove pipe. You’re sure gonna have a nice home.
Tks ken buddy
This Stove is definitely worth the investment. 👍🏻
I’m about to do a review video. I’ll update all on how it’s performing this far 👍
Great video! You got youself a new subscriber.
You will love the stove. I put the princess model in my cabin last year. Burnt 1/3 less wood over the season. Only problem I had was it’s too efficient. The exhaust temp is so low I had condensation problems in the chimney. With your relatively short insulated chimney you’re good to go. Don’t expect to see flames in the firebox rely on the gauge on top to tell you how it’s burning and when to add wood.
Tks buddy. Great to hear from someone who has a similar model 👍
Kevin I’ve had my BK ashford woodstove for a year now and also experienced the condensation issues. Did you do anything to help or eliminate this?
@@michaelvasquez5761 unfortunately there was nothing I could do to remedy the problem I had about an 8ft horizontal run of stove pipe then into a Masonary chimney. The chimney was just too long. I moved the stove from the house to my cabin where the chimney is like Chucks and it work’s awesome.
Very nice glad you invested in to a great product Cabin is starting to look great
There is nothing finer than a wood stove. I am lucky to be able to have one in my house. I would not part with it. I did the same with my wood stove. When you come in from the cold, the fire is cozy and the sound and smell of the fire is warming as well....awesome Chuck...really enjoying the build !!
The best video I've seen on catalytic stoves. Great job Chuck. Beautiful cabin too.
Thanks for the kind words Jason. I’m a simple man so I like to keep things on simple terms lol. That’s all I know really. 👍
WOW, that sounds super efficient! Very nice indeed! Thanx for sharing!
Looks like a beauty!
Hi Chuck. You will be happy with that Blaze King. I have one in my home and it goes 24/7 six months of the year. Burn times are excellent. Enjoy.
Fantastic Jay. Nothing better than reassurance from an owner who has field tested it. (And you are a man of many stoves!! Lol)
Tks for tuning in bud 👍
Well Chuck...I can't agree with you more about the excitement of lighting up a new stove...nothing better than wood heat...beautiful stove and very efficient...gone are the days of a 45 gallon drum made into a stove haha.. the place looks awesome.. enjoy your dream home buddy 👍
Looks like a great stove ENJOY!!!!!!
i love the blaze king line. i was looking at a princess for a long time but went with Jotul smaller non catalytic instead. its about as simple and reliable as a stove can get. if i ever decide to get another, it will be a blaze king. thanks for posting the video. love the cabin and location.
Check out that Pacific Energy Alderlea.
Beautiful stove and cabin. I have the Blaze King Ashford insert and I love it. I’m like you. I find a lot of pleasure in a quality wood stove.
Note: It may take more than one burn to fully cure the paint.
It took me about three burns before I felt comfortable enough to close the windows. All good now tho. Tks for tuning in👍
What a dandy stove....you will be in money in the long run for sure....i'm a firm believer in the old saying "you get what you pay for ".... congratulations
I hope so Sean. I’m going on decades of field testing from previous owners 👍
Beautiful stove they has an excellent reputation.
Now that's a stove... Up to 30 hrs of burn time.. amazing!! That is certainly the wood stove for a home. Enjoy your caveman TV, I can watch that channel for hrs.
Lol. Caveman TV….like that one👍
That stove is beautiful and efficient.
Nice stove
The stoves are much more efficent than when I was using wood sounds like a good one for many years of use.
Same here Barry. I remember having the old pop belly stove that was warped so bad you could see the fire through the cracks.
Now that’s a nice wood stove!!!
We’ll look them up for sure
Planning an upgrade for my cabin
that's one of the strongest best built chimneys i've ever seen .
If you want the ultimate in efficient wood burning stoves you will have to move up to a masonry or soapstone 'oven' .
i have a two ton Finnish soapstone stove that is a down draft system.
my house is 2500 sq.ft and i only use about 2.5 to 3 cords of wood per year in the mountains of the black forest of Germany .
These stoves are true secondary combustion stoves but what really sets them apart from ALL other stoves is their ability to store the heat that is being produced . very little heat is wasted up the chimney .
one firing every second day of around two to three hours is enough to keep the house near 70 deg F during that time .
Awesome to hear!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Nice canadian style guitar music
My good friend Dale Clements for the credit 👍
That’s one impressive stove buddy
Fire still be going an the place be toasty warm when you an the misses come back from day in the outdoors
Looking forward to it buddy 👍
Awesome stove Chuck! The efficiency is amazing. If you're going to outfit a place to live, you may as well spend the extra money for quality stuff. Looking forward to the next video!
Puppy is growing fast. 🐕 Nothing like wood heat. Great video Chuck.
Excellent Video Chuck!!!
