The reason that the other side isn't drilled out, is to allow you to adjust the legs for uneven ground.
That's right, thank you. I realized that after I made the video. Great comment!!
I did a YT search b/c I couldn't get that damper thingy apart, no directions, Thanks,
But, I didn't get any spark oppressor, * that wire thingy.
I didn't see any pilot holes in the legs. But, this was 3 years ago, so
Thank you.
I actually just ordered this same stove tonight for myself, going to modify it slightly, adding a rope gasket to the door for better air seal may weld in a baffle to increase efficiency for secondary burn may also add a layer of thin refractory brick to prolong the life of the belly of the stove and then fabricate a new grate and then weld on tabs to the bottom of the legs with a hole drilled in incase I want to fasten down to a floor with a couple screws so it's secure in it's position, I'll definitely be getting a different chimney cap as well but all told it seems like a well built unit and with proper care should last for many many years to come.
Thanks! Yes, there is much room for modification. It's a good stove for the money. If you really need it - I think it's going to be very valuable in a situation where getting heat and cooking is critical. The price was right!
I have this same stove going on four seasons now, don't mess with it- works perfectly fine the way it is. easy to start up and burns great the vent holes in the door draw in air right to the bottom of the grate- it burns hot!
I am getting ready to order this for my shop. Thanks for the video. I hit the button for you to help you get to 1k.
Awesome thank you!
This would be great in my back patio.
My legs didn't fall off
LOL... Glad your legs didn't fall off!
Do you use the stove tent camping ? If so what tent do you have ? Thanks
No - I haven’t had a chance to
The stove pipe is tall in order to reach above the roof peak on a wall tent for better drawing power, and no back draft.
Thanks! Good that they provide enough.
❤ looks quite big
Hi, I have one and use it often for my garage. This ia an awesome stove, BUT the 5 inch chimney pipe that is inserted into the stove melted. My flu is now about 3 inch from the flat service.
I have been trying to figure out the best way to install elbows as well without it melting.
Holy cow! It melted? Must have got REAALYY HOT. I'd recommend putting a temp gauge on it and running it a little less hot.
@@TheRealWorld737 Ya when I bought mine. I would just throw wood in and really monitor it. The pipe got beet red.. Now im looking where I can purchase another pipe. Live in Canada not many places have a 5 inch pipe that deliver.
@@chrisox ecco supply or other sheet metal wholesalers... get 26ga minimum... adjustable elbows can be tricky and sharp to spin occasionally. The inexperienced should wear gloves. throw some gasket on the door and damper down your burns, or risk the problems that arise
298th sub, my friend. :) Keep the content coming!
Really appreciate it!! Thank you!
@@TheRealWorld737 I'm happy to be your subscriber man, please keep pumping out the videos.
Best ste up video for this stove. Thank you.
Wow, thanks!
Great video! I subscribed and just bought through the provided link also
Thanks much!
I just got this stove, been wondering if some kind of sand or thin fire brick would help hold heat longer.
Where Can but one in France Brittany and how much ?
Just gonna have to do a search on the interwebs :-)
Do you know what the stove pipe is? Galvanized? I’ve heard galvanized can be toxic?...
Yes, it's galvanized. Some galvanized pipes need to be heated several times before being used in a confined space. As with any wood stove - I'd only use one approved for indoor use unless you really know what you are doing and have adequate ventilation for safety.
Wood stoves use a blue steel pipe, and oil furnaces use a galvanized flue pipe, some of the high end tent stoves use stainless steel flue pipe.
How many hours of burn time can you get before filling? Like in a 10x10 Kodiak I’m thinking to put this stove in just want to know if I have to tend to it every couple hours when sleeping
I don’t have an exact answer for you on that with this guy and I’m sorry. But my experience with this size and similar build is that you’re still gonna be up every few hours. But the huge variable is what kind of wood you’re burning and how dry that is. I mean that’s gonna make the most difference. Obviously as dry as you can get and a hardwood is gonna get you more sleep and a consistent burn over the night.
Not comical at all, it's that tall so it will be above the ridge of your tent! It's actually quite the opposite and makes perfect sense! And it doesn't need any tape or clamps, and also the cap will cause sparks to come down on your tent... this stove is Made for a TENT.
Thanks James.. I get it. Was just funny during the video - since I didn't have anything (like a tent) for it to put it into perspective. More IS better all the way - thank you.
Have you had any issues keeping the fire going in the stove?
No. BUT - it's definitely more sensitive - being a smaller stove. I find that you have to tend to it more than a larger stove. Because there's not as much room for wood - you burn through it faster than a larger stove. So, that's the trade-off vs. getting a bigger one.
Would love to see your other options
As far as emergency heating ideas? or other wood stoves?
@@TheRealWorld737 I'm interested in your setup for emergency heat. I am on propane and they are warning us of propane shortages this winter.
how do you glue on the seal for the door
You dont
@@TheRealWorld737 it falls off
Mine is in storage at the moment. I do not recall having a seal come with the door. Glue would melt. These stoves are designed to not be used in an enclosed area (other than maybe a well-ventilated tent). So with a hot fire going inside - all the smoke is going up through the flue - so you don't really need a seal. This isn't an indoor wood stove - and isn't safe for inside your garage or home. Also, if you look at their product page for the item at Camp Chef - you will notice a few things: 1. There is no seal on the door. 2. There is a place where you can ask a question about the product and get an answer from the company. Here is the link: www.campchef.com/alpine-heavy-duty-cylinder-system-%7C-camp-chef/CC-CS14.html
Is this the regular Alpine or is It’s a heavy duty? Did it come with that stove pipe if I remember right in the video it was tucked inside right?
Came with the pipes. Not sure I’m aware of a lighter duty model like this . This thing is very heavy.
At 9:58 the inner ceiling baffle plate . Is the baffle plate touching the side wall OR is there a gap between the wall ? If so .... how much gap ?
It’s in storage at the moment. When I get it back out- I’ll take a closer look.
Where is the hot water tank?
It doesn't come with one normally - but you can buy them separately.
Optional I think 🤔
I did not see a baffle plate ? Is it built in OR its not design with it ?
One small grate inside- but no plate.
Merci mec👍
