Good practical science Jimmy. We heat 99% with 2 wood stoves for primary heat harvested from our woodlot. It looks like you have central heating with a furnace. So it's simple to get the delta from thermostats set at say ~ 65 F to room temp. Up only ~ 20 F. Your tutorial is well done for most with central heating systems. For us in Downeast Maine, the work you put into it is somewhat complex and time consuming. Good job anyhow.
Congrats for heating and saving with 2 wood stoves providing 99% of your heat needs! We get about 80% from our 2 wood stoves. It could easily be 100% except a couple of factors: 1. no one wants the 11pm to 7am shift. We stop putting wood in at 11pm bedtime, and by 4am the stove is starting to cool down, and on cold nights the house can get to 50° while we are sleeping. The house is on auto thermostat which kicks in at 6am to quickly get the house to about 62°. We fire the stove up at 6-7am, and by 8am it will maintain the temp at 65-75° all day (feeding the stoves wood during the day). So we pay for oil in that early morning to get the home from 50 to 62 each day in the winter. 2. Sunday morning we go to Church and follow the above schedule, except don’t light the stove till noon when we get home and I can clean the stove. That’s the once a week thorough cleaning for the stove(s). So we invest in about 20% oil in order to make our lives easier based on our work schedules and routine:) Note: this year we found with the curtains separating the living areas when temps outside were above 20°F we could light only one stove where we stayed most of the day and evening and be comfortable. Huge difference in the time needed to light only one stove 70% of the winter! We used 4-5 cords instead of 7 cords. Thanks for your comments and insight!
@@jimmyp3161 Never a zero dark thirty stove filling Jimmy. The late night wood stoves use large high BTU logs foir an all night fires that will have morning coals for those cool mornings in winter. The sometimes temps in the 50's F are not a big deal since we know that the fires will, will, heat up to comfort within the hour. One easily adapts with a thick pile bathrobe or pile sweats. Besides, most northern European bedrooms are not heated, using thick down comforters AND open windows in winter ( we also ). Try it.
I love using the extra blankets and thicker sweaters for my family:) What type wood are using that has higher btu? I use mostly red oak which has medium to high btu.
@@jimmyp3161 We use what we have in the woodlot. You can check the species BTU's. Black Locust, White Ash, Red Maple, Red Oak, Yellow Birch, Paper Birch. Spruces and Fir used in early to late shoulder seasons for those quick morning or evening fires from trail clearings. I'm tired just thinking about all this !
Can you share the link for the little fan?
Promo sm
Thank you 🙏
Rather than carry on waffling, why don’t you just get to the point I lost interest halfway through this video
Curtains are a good idea. Thanks 😁
They are!
great video, im in british columbia, northern bc, my local village had meeting, Air flow and heat loss solutions. Great tip on easy heat flow designs and solutions. no expert required just innovation of what's available and low maintenance, and less expensive alternative. Luukw'il Aam, very good.
Glad it helped!
"My wife wasn't crazy about me doing this" - LOL - welcome to my world. Next she'll be saying she doesn't want you taking the lawn mower apart on the dining room table. I don't know 🤣👍
I am thinking to install my woodstove in frond of my old fireplace like you did. Some people say that as more chimney pipes you have exposed in your place the most heat you get. Do you agree with that?
The pipe that comes out the back of the woodstove is quite short, so I don’t know how much heat is transferred into the house from that pipe. The other pipe going up inside the chimney is covered by the stone and bricks, and does not add heat. I believe the heat comes mainly from the stove which is set outside of the chimney in the living area. There is a lot of heat trapped behind the stove, in the chimney area. That is why I added the blower. I do think that with natural current of heat rising and displace by cooler air the heat would move from behind the stove to the living area, but at a slower pace. Thanks for the comment!
I’ve watched all four sessions. Excellent information. We have a Buck Stove model 81 complete with an adjustable blower unit. Our house is only approx 1600 sq ft. The wood stove is located on one end of the house. I set up a floor fan on the other end of the house to push the cooler air towards the heater. It works. We have ceiling fans as well but I’ve always been confused on what’s reverse and what’s forward.
Good to know it works! Ceiling fans help. In winter should be pushing air up. To figure out direction, stand under it and put on high. If air pushes down on you, reverse the direction. Keep up the great work with the stove!
@@jimmyp3161 Thanks!! Will do.
Do you get paid by the number of 'actuallies'
Not sure what you mean. I am very small part of google videos, and make no money from videos. Just enjoy my stove and sharing some learnings, and learning from others who have tried new ideas!
Jimmy P is correct, I use some old, old, old 5-V metal roofing I had on my property when I bought the place, surprised how dry the wood stays. I keep my rows about 15-18 inches apart for air flow, works great.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice house
I keep a small spray bottle of windex & some newspapers next to my fireplace (insert]. You could do the same with water. I use the same procecure as he does, except no trips to the kitchen for water. If any tough stuff remains on the glass, i'll use the ash then too. However, the ash leaves a gray haze & doesn't always cut thru everything. A quick spray with EasyOff oven cleaner and it wipes off effortlessly within about 2 minutes of soak time. I always clean the glass right after i light the fire, but before the glass gets hot. That way it's already drafting away the EasyOff smell, IF I use it, and I toss the soiled newspapers into the fire.
Great tips
Very nice video . I also messed with air flow on rooms for heating to be more even. I did a floor and a higher up portable fan blowing in opposite directions. Floor fan moving into a room and a higher fan blowing out. I did find your way of a fan on the floor blowing out working great. I used a box fan on low set up like you do works surprisingly well. I like your electrical gadget on the wall . You have a beautiful home and thanks for the video.
Thanks for viewing and your comments!
We have a small but powerful window fan that has 2 - 10" fans that can either exhaust or pull in air or both at the same time. Any ways, we put that in our up stairs bedroom window and its at he furthest area away from any heat but if we dont run that while we have a fire going it gets stifling hot down stairs and so far it has maintained about a 2 degree difference on average between the two levels.I didnt think it would do anything at first but 3 times now we've turned the fan off while burning and each time there has been a huge difference in temps.
Interesting. To clarify, you have the window open with the fan in it? And which direction is the fan running? I assume pulling air from the room to the outside. I would have thought that room would get cold on a very cold day with the window open. Interested to hear more.
@@jimmyp3161 Correct, it pulls the air to the outside. Its always a 2-4 degree difference than the main living room on the first floor
Great. tips on fans and also knowing your home's airflow.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, very well explained and practical.

This is actually a very good tip. I did try pushing warm air but no improvement thanks very much. I already put my fan to move cold instead thanks again.
Glad it helped
Hi Jimmy, I live in NY State. I am more interested in that curtain. I actually need one to stop air from kitchen are to living room where I have my stove. It is cast iron so it is perfectly warm. Anyway could you send me the type of the curtain which stays up😀? Thank you for your help. J.
It is a thick curtain intended for a sliding glass door, with no light penetration. It has a plastic liner on the back side to prevent light coming through, and therefore does not let air through either. Measure the opening and get 2 curtains that fit the opening with extra for the pleats, and walk through the middle. On Amazon or local discount store. Key is to get a strong bar above. I did not want to put holes, so got very heavy duty shower bar that stays in with pressure and no screws. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for all this information! We are wanting a wood stove to heat our house and had no clue where to start. This gave us a great place to begin!
Great to hear!
Electrically safe?
The wires stay cool under the unit, with cool air being sucked in underneath, and hot air pushed out the top.
Great videos. Where in New England are you. Southern NH here.
South of Worcester.
I love this video…thank you! We have just had a stovax futura log burner installed and I can get it burning lovely but cannot keep it going. All the videos I watch on keeping it going tend to be about how to keep it overnight. However, I just want to know simple things like at what point do I add more logs? If I do it while I have active flames I get smoke into the room and if I leave it get to the glowing stage I lose the temperature. I also ‘lose’ the heat if I lightly coke the vent, even after the fire is well established. I would love to see a video about how to start and maintain your fire in the evening. I feel like I’m up and down like a yo-yo fiddling with it. Any advice would be so appreciated as you have a lovely way of explaining things ❤
Hi there. A few tips, although it is hard to diagnose not seeing the stove. - open door slowly. Should not bring in Smoke once a healthy draft/fire is formed. - lower vent only if thermometer gets close to red. If it is in white area it is perfect. - be sure wood is dry, oak can take 2 years. Or else will burn inefficiently and create smoke. Hope this helps. Keep watching videos, there are a lot out there!
Further on the paper strip current detector: Carry the paper as you walk up the stairs keeping the paper at knee or ankle height for a time. How is the air moving? Now move the paper to above your head for a bit.Now what difference is there? How about other rooms upstairs? Again, I repeat that using a narrow strip of one ply toilet paper attached to a stick gives a very sensitive ttem
Great tips!
High quality cat wood stove here on the mid-level floor in a verrry old, poorly insulated house. I use a 1/2 inch single ply toilet paper strip taped to a stick to follow the warm air flow. We finally ---after 30 years-- added a door to tightly control the amount of hot air going upstairs. Special treat, the door was free and fits well.
Great news!
Excellent, well done.
Many thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to make this, I’m currently exploring ways to spread the heat around my house too. It’s my first year using a wood stove insert, my house is 2 story 2100 square feet. The insert easily heats the downstairs to around 74 (too hot for me) but is only able to get the upstairs bedrooms to about 65 (perfect for me, but the wife and kids complain).
Hi Jon. Are those temps based off last year’s season, or just the start of this season? If it is just this year, as the weather gets colder it will get harder to maintain those temps in the home. When the weather is 10° outside it takes more effort and energy to maintain a warm temp further from the stove. You are smart to try different methods, like shutting off unused rooms, using a small fan, ceiling fan on reverse on very low setting in the room the stove is in is very helpful to disperse heat from gathering in the room the stove is in. Heat does rise, so that is in your favor for the bedrooms, and if you can help the air exchange (cold air come down faster) you could even those temps a bit…. Just some thoughts. Let us know what you figure out!

That is the bigger fan. Honestly the smaller one has more air push. I Will try to get that part number too
The small one is no longer available from where I purchased on Amazon.
Was your wife/partner okay with the curtains?
Yes. The curtains are high quality and look nice. It was either the curtains with a warmer living environment where we spend most of the time trapping in the heat, or no curtains with a cooler environment with no barrier to keep out the cooler air.
Thanks my bro you have just opened my eyes big time 😊 we just had our log burner installed and your video is exactly what I was looking for as trying to distribute as much heat as possible around the house, got heat powered stove fans pushing heat from the stoves towards the door and trying to push it a bit upstairs too fingers crossed, the curtain tip is also something we will take on board. Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge 🙏♥️
Glad to hear it was helpful!
