- I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards. Thanks for watching.

PSA~ DON’T FORGET YOUR SMOKE & CO DETECTORS & checking batteries!!! One of the most important preventive things anyone living in a structure can do. I love how you explain & share your knowledge or new things you have learned along the way. From the wood burner stove to beaver damns, culverts & more…❤. When your turned off the lights & showed the flames. I could sit there & just watch the fire dance. 🔥🥰. Thanks for the vlog.
Fire extinguisher in every single room and a smoke detector on each floor
@@post10Vlogsabsolutely!!! As a former vol FF you definitely have done everything possible to prevent, preserve your home from fire. I don’t even have that many extinguishers. 😉. A lot of fire departments have smoke detectors if residents need one & can’t afford it. Hopefully someone reading this now knows. All they have to do is call their local FD & ask.
@post10Vlogs do you also have carbon monoxide detectors at all? I applaud the fact you have fire extinguishers and smoke alarms, but definitely think you should consider CO detectors also. I recently saw a video where a woman suffered from serious illness for over a decade due to a CO leak from an improperly fitted boiler. Fortunately it didn't unalive her, but the risks are massive. On a happier note, I am thoroughly enjoying this vlog (about halfway through as I type this), and I'm looking forward to some more camping videos in the months to come. Wishing you all the best from merry old England. 😊
Why do you need a co2 detector for a wood burning stove?
@Pepe-dq2ib when burnt, wood releases co2, which is tastless, colourless, odourless, and lethal at high enough doses, hence the need for detectors.
Some tips:
Like someone else already mentioned, close the door as soon as you get the fire going reliably. The stovepipe overheats because you're leaving the door open far too long, allowing the fire to burn too fast.
Likewise, go ahead and close the bypass as soon as you're in the "active" range. According to the stove manufacturer, that whole range is legitimate for operating the catalytic converter, so you might as well get the converter going as soon as things meet the minimum temp required. And once the bypass is closed, the converter will heat up even faster, getting you higher into the "active" range for even better efficiency.
You probably don't need that much tinder and kindling. Though I guess if you're only starting the fire a few times each season, maybe you don't need to conserve. But with dry wood, in a stove that size, I'd guess you could easily cut the amount of each in half, maybe even use less than that.
Fresh air supply for the stove helps. Just because the stove is too much heat most of the time, doesn't mean it's not still worth being more efficient. Less wood burned is less work for you. Also, one of the reasons the stove couldn't keep up when it was so cold is because the draft is coming from the house, so you are necessarily pulling outside (cold) air in, only to have to try to heat that air again with the stove. A dedicated supply allows you to keep the house sealed up better, or at least not pull tons of cold air, so you can make the most of the stove's heat.
With infrequent starts, maybe all that smoke in the house isn't something you consider a problem, but that was a _lot_ of smoke. Probably could avoid it all if you make sure there's a window open to allow the heat from the room to pull the air up the stovepipe, so you get enough draft even before the stove is started. I guess preheating with propane could work too, but seems like a lot of trouble for something that ought to be solvable just by giving the stove the air it wants.
The stove pipe ran bacwards when not lit. Cold air bellowing down. He showed it at the beginning. Need to preheat the pipe with something active, like a blowtorch or heat gun.
This wood stove company should support this channel lol
Should've had "camera 2" on the chimney outside when you started the fire. Really interesting upload👍.
Hard to believe it's been almost a year since all those trees came down. Can't wait for you to get back to the bread truck cabin, I really enjoyed those videos 👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing all of this with us, Post. Someday we all may wanna feel like we wanna break from the grid and get back to basics. I just like knowing about stuff in general, and wood stoves kinda have a sentimental place in my heart, growing up in Maine. I remember being tasked with getting the ashes out and stacking cords and cords of wood for the winter.
Watched this on my tv and started to hear and feel the roar of the fire going! I had my subwoofer on high and had no idea what it was for a few minutes. 🤣 Awesome video!
Post, That is a Cool shirt.I really like it. I just couldn't wear it buttoned to the neck.😅 Now on with the rest of your great video!
That is a GREAT shirt! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us!
Fantastic video, I live in Scotland and have solid fuel central heating, I burn anthracite, I know wood is more eco friendly but sadly wood is so expensive here.
You are forever at the stove whereas the anthracite lasts for roughly 20 hours, loads of hot water and a very warm house.
Kind regards from Scotland,
Johnny
Is furnacite still available? I remember that and anthracite from waaaaay back, as my dad was a coal merchant for many, many years. My understanding is they are both 'processed' in some way, but I'm not sure. I do remember that Coalite used to sell it, though.
@@captainnutnut6077 yes you can still get phurnacite but it is very costly, phurnacite was a man made egg/bricket, it had 2 lines through it, not as clean as anthracite though.
@@captainnutnut6077anthracite is natural. We burn it in our stove. It’s just a harder more pure carbon form of coal. We also burn steam coal now much easier to get going but not as hot as anthracite (but still classed as a natural smokeless fuel so smoke free zone is happy) but anthracite can be temperamental in a stove if it cools too much it doesn’t catch when refuelling
Dang, post, looking good mate! I really dig the shirt!
Wish you had some comfy slippers though instead of walking around in socks 😂
I can’t tell you how much I enjoy your wood burning stove videos. I always looks forward to them! Love the shirt, and great job with the video! Looking forward to more videos about this stove!
An older gentleman gave me a great tip for cleaning stove glass. You just wet a rag or paper towel and dab it in the wood ash in the stove and it'll clean the glass perfectly.
That fire, snow and a horror movie and I'm set for the night 👍
Bro that shirt is so cool! I want one!
This is interesting. We had a fireplace as a kid when I was up north and it was just an old fashioned one and I do recall that we basically would put blankets over the door ways and stay in the living room with the fireplace and sleep there on extreme cold nights, it just wasn't that efficient. I am surprised to see how efficient this is in comparison. However last 20+ years i've lived in Florida so no fireplaces around here, haha. Actually now i remember, this was when our oil or propane (I forget what it was) heating system would break or not light and we were forced to only use the fireplace, we would block off the living room and stay in there.
Another great shirt postie!
and that's exactly why i only use seasoned hardwoods....i'm a firefighter and have been to NUMEROUS chimney/house fires that have started due to people burning pine/evergreen wood.
Wicked shirt, man! Love it.
These videos get me through summer.
Just chimed in I'm very excited to see what this winter season brings with your videos. Thank you Post!
This was fun! Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been waiting all year for this posty! Didn’t let me down. Big love ❤
TIL: A chimney fire is a great way to clean out your chimney! Thanks, post!! 😅😊
I Love sitting by the fire, its such a nice feeling especially when it gets super cold out. Love the smell of a fireplace or woodstove too, makes the air smell so nice around the house
I’ve been waiting for this!!
Great work and content. Your videos are very relaxing and humble. You’re a good man.
I’m glad I also found another person that likes a good window. One that opens at the top and the bottom at the same time for better natural draft. I thought I was the only person on the planet. lol.
Stove set to go for the winter! Winter camping vlogs are NOT far off...can't wait! Love the shirt!
Cool man. Love it. thanks post
The cold air comes down the chimney as a result of BP. If you open the window for about ten minutes before you light the fire you probably won't get any smoke or at least very little.
Well, it does bring back memories… In some way, that reminds me of an old fashioned brick built stove that we had in my grandparents old wooden house. Great times…
We used to seat nearby, the whole bunch, enjoying the hot meal and listening to the pleasant crackling of the burning splinters in the hearth…
Hey Post, awesome how you make mundane tasks interesting to watch! Enjoying this video!
Thanks Post
The best vid Post! Love your stove & that shirt looks very nice!
Thx POST! you reminded me to do preventive maint on my heater, including the water condensation reservoir.
I enjoy everything u do. Keep on. 👍
I love how your wood sheds look, perfectly neat and organized, so satisfying
A very informative video! Great job! 💯
❤you are a stellar young man Post
A little late to the party, but I thoroughly enjoyed this vlog. Learned some great information. Thanks Post10. ❣️🍀
I do really enjoy your channel/videos
THE PLACE IS LOOKING GOOD
Videos are awesome keep them coming. I do have a Whitfield pellet stove I run for heating
Chimney sweep tip for cleaning the glass from soot: take a wet (water only) paper to the ash in the stove and rub the soot with it. No chemicals to burn in the glass from detrrgents!
Very interesting video. I love a wood fire but I truly suck at getting one going!
Nice video! I really like your fire sheds and your incorporation of a corrugated metal roof to the design. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, including those of your other channel, and look forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Brilliant video post , stay safe my friend .
Random comment but I love your shirt!
I sincerely hope your house never burns down. You put too much work into it. It’s quite lovely. I am looking forward to your video on the risks of buying an abandoned house (I saw the thumbnail on Patreon). Hope you have lots of before and after pics.
For a future project, will you build a greenhouse around your vegetable garden? You could protect it from wildlife while still allowing your land to be wildlife friendly. And protect it from the elements. Just curious.
Love your kitty rug🐈
Interesting and informative. Love the shirt.
Hey Post, More wood stove and wood processing videos please! As for the smoke on start up or soot on reloads, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make an air purifier out of a box fan and a merv-13 furnace filter. I'm running my expensive air purifier in my stove room, but I have a class A chimney running inside my finished space, so smoke isn't as much of an issue for me. You talked about warming up the chimney- I saw a great tip on the TH-cams: Run a space heater inside the stove for a few minutes to reverse the draft and heat the chimney.
You're a true Horsefighter!❤
Hey post i forgot to tell you they do have a soot sponge that remove it effortlessly, ive used them in the past and it picks up all the soot off of walls furniture ect. Its like a dry chemical thing, no water needed 😉
Loving the Thanksgiving shirt!
ur hair cut looks great love you man thanks for the videos
Nice video
Love the video and more so love that turkey shirt! Keep it going Post…Cant wait till the fall/winter camps!
I started watching your videos when you were unclogging street clogs then culverts, now you’re doing stuff like this. Pretty cool. You’ve given me some good ideas that I might implement around my home.
Thank you.
Love the shirt!
43:23 I vote YES on u getting an Infrared Laser Thermometer 🤓
(ask Santa for a Thermal Imaging Camera too)
U been busy. A lot a hard work
Love your videos I love ur hair much better 🎉🎉I been binging ur videos on a Sunday I admire what u do I couldn’t do it!
Loved the information in the video, I'm just fitting small log burner and I've been searching the web to gather as much information as I can before the cold weather gets here in a few days time lol, I certainly picked up a few tricks, and looking forward to the first burn, thanx from 🇬🇧
Love your turkey shirt.👍. Amazing video. One of my sons just said he is thinking about adding a wood burning stove. I will make sure he watches this. Thank you.☮️💖🎶
Hey post 10. Love your videos. Been watching for years. You really need to close the door on your stove as soon as the fire gets going. It will keep your stove pipe from overheating and will allow you to get the stove into the active range for the catalyst much much faster. Plus it's much safer. Thanks for the entertainment and the knowledge you share with us.
Being from a little further south than where you are if it was -40 out I can tell you where I’d be at. You would find me hold up in that basement with a tv and a mini fridge lol. Keep up the quality content!
I like the shirt!............I just picked up a Tropical shirt when we were down in Jamaica a month ago.
Cutie cute turkey shirt! Temu? The rubber ducky one was fun, too❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a shirt! I dig it!
Luv the EYES in powder room on trash & dehumidifier. LOL.
An inexpensive wall covering which may look nice for your basement is pallet wood. Amazon sells a detailed for taking pallets apart, do a lottery cleanup and sanding on the pallet boards and paint or stain them. The de nailer is Air Locker AP700 Heavy Duty Professional Air Punch Nailer. It works well
I Love your turkey shirt man !
I hope you do a winter video in that old truck out in the woods. I really like that unit
❤❤❤
My grandfather burned wood for 50 years in Minnesota, where it gets crazy cold. His chimney was super dangerous to clean, and so he would intentionally start a chimney fire every year to clean it out! Worked for 50 years. Your catalytic stove seems cool. I would never buy a brand new stove because they are expensive and used ones are cheap, but it really does seem incredibly efficient.
Its a lovely autumnal shirt. Letting me know you have to get used to lighting the fire again helps.
➡️ Awesome shirt!!🦃
Sick shirt!
During shoulder seasons, you can still use an “oversized” wood stove. Start it per usual then only run it for a short period. Maybe not even an hour. You want a bloom of heat. Use your lower BTU value softwood at this time.
No need to worry about saying mistakes. We bought our home in 2000, yes 23 years ago. It has a fireplace insert wood burning stove with the catalyst and built in electric, thermostat controlled fan. We have no manual, and never thought it was necessary. We always left the damper and door opened, thinking "fireplace," and the wood would burn off fairly quickly. However, you taught me something here. Next time I'll know how to get the
fire/wood to burn longer. Thank you
I miss my wood stove.
My dad has his wood room filled with wood around it to help dry out the wood quicker. We use our old childhood slide as a shoot down the steps.
BRO I LOVE YOUR TURKEY SHIRT!!!!
Hey Post! Thanks for the video, I am really looking forward to this years winter videos. Have you thought about getting an air filter to suck up all the soot while you're emptying the ash?
You could cut one or two dampers in that heat trunk line in that room. Open them when the stove is running. That'll put heat into the upstairs rooms exactly where you need it. And you can adjust those dampers wherever you need more or less heat.
3:37 why not set the wet wood in front of the stove while it’s hot and let it dry. You’ve said that where you have the wood now it doesn’t even get warm to the touch.
The furnaces with plastic exhaust pipes are known as Condensing Furnaces. They pass the hot exhaust, which contains a lot of water vapor, over a secondary heat exchanger, which transfers the heat to the indoor air, and also condenses a majority of the water vapor, bringing in the Latent Heat of Vaporization which chills the exhaust and heats the exchanger even further.
Very impressive tech, with only a few downsides. The heat exchanger is more expensive because it has to be made of stainless, and you need to deal with the exhaust condensate by pumping or draining it somewhere. I wonder if we could ever get a wood stove to be that efficent.
Stick some of that paper or cardboard up passed the bypass damper and light it before lighting the fireplace itself. It will create the updraft and stop from getting smoked out when you first light up. Learning the hard way myself
I am used to simply burn one or two sheets of newpapers before putting the kindling on an additional sheet of paper and that's it.
If I remember correctly his pipe has 4x45° plus 2x90° which is not ideal to get the initial draft.
I burn 5 cords October to April here in Connecticut. Zero smoke in the room. I us newspaper, 2 kindling sticks and dry wood on top to start. I'd rather use more free newspaper than kindling. My stove is Steel so it has a fast warm up but it cools down fast and can warp easier than cast iron but is less expensive
Build a log house with the kindling and light the xardboard inside of of it 😊
cool shirt post!
Omg I want your shirt!
probably at other points in the video but around 36.51 you can see the air gap between the sections of the stove that keeps that top from getting burning hot to fast but allow air to pick up the heat between them for the room. :)

Am i the only one that can see a face in the window at the end! 😂 guess my mind is playing tricks on me.
Never mind a wood stove, you need a beaver stove!
Beaver burner 3000 👍
Ash also works good for putting under your tires if you get stuck on ice
When you start it up, just crack a door or window and you will get an updraft and no smoke in the house.
I have the same stove, as soon as your fire is started and going well- shut the door. You will need to shut the door much sooner. You’ll never have that problem again. Thanks for sharing!
Also instead of installing a damper on the out pipe just once the door is closed and the cat off turn the air volume on the side down, it will regulate the inbound air , presto!
How do you clean glass on the door from the salt from the fire or are you supposed to do that
When the pipe thermometer gets to active you can shut the door and it will draft. That’ll help heat the box faster so you can turn on the converter
