Cubic Mini makes the smallest wood stove I have ever seen! This install video will help you with the chimney/stove pipe steps and see how it works, including stove pipe cleaning. Nothing matches a cozy woodstove for cold winter nights!
Thanks for watching!

This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list ruclips.net/user/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 have the "Cub" model in my Class C motorhome. Installed about 4 years ago. Love it.
I put one of those in my 30 feet sailboat 3years ago, best thing ever! for comfort, Stillwater BC
There is no better feeling that installing a mini stove in your camper/hut. I think my smile was as big as yours for about a week solid after thinking about the install for months 😁
haha, I understand you, it feels elating and a sense of relief together!
Pretty great Luke looking forward to the video of the whole cabin.
Thanks James, it's almost finished and then I'll be ready to show it
The Woodstove is so cute!!! Yet functional! I’m looking forward to your next video! L
Thanks Lindsay!
Love the video on the wood burner. I've been considering fitting one to my campervan but a bit worried about fitting it
I really like this video. Very comforting. Thanks.
Thanks Keith!
I have always wanted one of those little stoves. Very cool
Excellent teaching video. Your a natural!
Looks great-and congrats on the first fire! I'm about to install one myself-your video helped me a lot. Thanks.
Thanks David!
That is gowing to leak. and no high tempeture silecone was needed for this.
Where did you get yours ?
This is a great video! And channel!
I'm building a small camp shack on skids, and my Cubic is on its way, so I couldnt have found this video at a better time.
Thanks so much for putting your experiences and know-how out there! It's appreciated!
Thanks, I'm glad it helped! It the shack on skids for moving it onto a lake for ice fishing?
@@lifeofluke I'm building it with the intention of replacing my current older trailer with some shade of tiny house. It'll serve as an extended living space/guest bed for family (I jokingly called it my unattached livingroom), but I'm keeping the dimensions such that if the idea flops it can be sold and moved. It might just end up as an ice fishing shack for somebody down the road.
Hopefully not though 😉
Where do you purchase one of those
@@madelinesantana7842
I bought mine directly off their website. cubicminiwoodstoves.com/
The woodstove significantly changes everything about your Travel Cabin for the better, improved ambience, appearence, saving of propane, and of course the welcoming warmth and glow of the fire dance.
and don't forget drying things out!
Great installation instructions. Thank you!
You're welcome!
I'm installing a cubic cub in my van this week!!! So stoked, pun intended!!!
Haha +1 for the pun!
Keep the ashes! you can use them to patch holes, as an abrasive cleaner, or as fertilizer! EDIT: You can use the ash in some water to clean the window of your woodstove for example and it will look like new.
And clean the glass
LOVE THIS! Thanks.
thank you!!
Nice little install .. cosy as fook .. happy heating .. 🔥🔥
Best I've seen so far.
Great DIY video, looking to buy land and wanting to do off grid as a beginner. This is a great way to heat and cook! ;)
love this life style!Well done. Im building my own tiny cabin on wheels too.Might make a video for youtube.Will see. However,its about 80% done.
looks great broski! nice with the java on there too. You weren't kidding, sure is small
Ya man, It's Japanese size
We just installed a grizzly in our tiny house & we are so excited to use it this winter
Great, I'm sure you'll be warm and cozy
Beautiful how to video
Thanks Jennifer
Looks beautiful
Thanks Craig
That's the coolest little stove ever
Непременный атрибут уюта - дровяная печь! 🎥👍
абсолютно!
just found your videos, some awesome content! where did you get that little stove from?
Beautiful
Hey there, was thinking about installing one of these in a similar sized cabin, but all the specs say 30" clearance above the stove, I was wondering what your clearance is to the ceiling and if you really think 30" is necessary. Thanks Luke!
That’s so cool!
thanks Stephen!
Very interesting video.👌👌👌
You are the man good sir.
Thanks Zach!
This was a very helpful video. I've been considering the Cubic, probably the somewhat larger Grizzly, for a 30 foot RV which is permanently mounted. I've been a bit intimidated at the thought of installing it, especially having to exit through the roof. It doesn't look so bad. Have you had any problems with leaking since then? Also did you get the side mount that draws air from outside or the regular one?
thank you for this video
its very helpful:)
Thanks Val!
This is great thanks for sharing. I’m looking at building a bunkie and a ice fishing hut and this would be perfect! Where is a good place to purchase this? I’m in Ontario maybe I can have it shipped.
I just bought directly from their site, I don't know if the wood stoves are carried in any stores. They are made in Quebec.
lifeofluke Perfect thanks Luke👊
I wanna see more cooking with this thing! This would be ideal for my cabin, thanks for video! Neat cabin
I've always liked the idea of a mirror in a small space. Instead of putting in another window use a mirror across from window. Good vid thanks.
Very cool🍁⛅️💕
That’s awesome
Wow that's really cool. I've seen these before but it's hard to judge the size without seeing it in a video. Great for small cabins or even a single room where you don't want to dedicate a whole area with the proper clearances etc of a normal size stove.
Yeah exactly! It really is compact. I recognize you from twitter/x by the way
Haha cool. It's a small world.
You will likely never have creosote buildup with your set up Luke. We burn 3-4 cords/yr, similar size/scale to what you have. We get on average less than a litre of soot from 15ft of chimney. Love seeing the cubit stoves, and cant wait to have mine own.
That's true, I rarely clean it, and it produces very little creosote
Thanks!
This is great
thanks dude!
This is awesome ❤ where do I get one, please 🙏
Looks good man, If you have any problems this winter with the cold you could always staple up some aluminium foil in an emergency
Thanks Chris! Ya it isn't too bad as I'm not in northern BC!
Cool. Thanks.
thanks for checking it out
Adorable, and perfect for my tiny home. My question, are there any parts to allow for installation on the side, instead of the roof? I do fear roof leaks over time.
You can install a stove pipe out a wall, but bends in the pipe are more difficult to clean, and therefore can lead to a chimney fire, and a vertical stove pipe functions better than a horizontal exit.
I was thinking and fearing the same thing in our off grid camper.
@@lifeofluke Thank you very much for the information. Vertical it is..
Awesome job man.
I was/ am planing on moving to the Kootenays, but in the mean time your video allow me to vicariously live some of the good life. Thanks for the for next spring, summer, and fall.
Thanks, the Koots are a beautiful place to be!
Great
Good idea....do we need any alarms for safety?
So did the back heat shield come with the stove
Awesome! Did the stove come with that metal wall mount or did you make/retro fit that. Assuming it is heat resistant enough to go into plywood (I am looking to put something in my shed) thanks for the video!
The wall mount is an extra option which I bought from Cubic mini
Does the wall shields/ tray it sits on come with it?
Love how the dog is watching the fire too.
This is exactly what I want to install in my mobile home, but like you, I'm worried abbout cutting a hole in the metall roof 😕 no leakage yet?
no leakage!
For all of y'all that don't know you need to start from the roof down so that boot fills the whole valley that means when it rains you got you a pond on the roof so if you send her that boot or at least scooted over 2 inches then you don't hold water okay he did a good job I'm not down in his work it's just that that installation will hold water literally
Okie doke!
Great Video... and Great Editing of this video.
Is this the "Cub" or the Grizzly?
Oh and by the way... You did this video on my Birthday... maybe that is a "Sign" I should buy one. LOL
Thanks Judi! This is the cub
I bought the grizzly for a 28 foot 1969 vintage tin can. I installed the entire project by myself.. soo easy and no regrets.. happy belated bday.. buy one you wont regret it.. happy trails.
@@TrinityRidge1959
I feel better now after reading this...
and thanks for the belated birthday.
That stove looks sweet! Good quality! Could the stove be used to heat a 6-8 person camping tent with a straight vent pipe exiting out the top? How heavy is the stove? Thanks for the video!
I guess it could although I haven't tried that myself. I think the stove is about 25lbs
I know old vid, if u still have this setup. Try taking a small cap full of diesel an pouring it on ur wood before u light it. The added fuel will help huge to push the beginning of the smoke through the chimney then out the tiny door
I have the grizzly.. I installed mine in my vintage tin can..going to do a below zero challenge on her this week. It does exceptional in single digits but in going to see how below zero temps do. Going on almost 3 years owning mine Have fun..
Thanks Annie, stay warm over there!
@@lifeofluke cant wait to see your cabin. Awesome!
How are you liking it? I want to put one in my Vintage 1972 Travel Trailer.
@@judichristopher4604 im still loving it. Its definitely the highlight of my vintage. I have a few videos of it on my channel if you want an idea of how it will look. I pulled the furnace and refrigerator that did not work and put my Grizzly right in place of it. No regrets. Ty Judi
@@TrinityRidge1959
GREAT IDEA.... THANK YOU!!!
Great video and presentation….no waste of time bullshit love it
Thanks Marilyn!
Were did you get your small wood burner from please looking for one for my shed/ men cave lol
The company is called Cubic Mini Woodstoves
Santa will have to be skinny this year to get down this chimney haha. Happy you'll be warm this winter Luke
Not much room for Santa inside either!
Badass 🤠
thanks man!
hey there . we are currently looking at purchasing the exact same stove but are having difficulty getting through to the manufacture . cam you tell me what extra pieces we need to get to have all the correct parts. also, did you leave the wider hole like that in your cabin or close it up later on ? thanks for any info, greatly appreciated
Hey Angela, you'll have to measure the distance between where your stove will be and 2 feet minimum above the roof, this is something you will have to calculate. Other than that, parts like the wall mount are optional
I'm going to do my e 150 ford camper van like that .
QUESTIONS how do you modify the chimney cap for when you are traveling? How big of wood can you fit in it and how long can it burn for so you can fall asleep?
I don't do anything to the chimney cap for travelling, wood length about 15-20cm, a fire will burn out in about an hour to an hour in a half, but if really hot the stove will radiate heat for 3 hours
How much clearance do you have from the top of your stove to your roof. I'm thinking of putting one in my van but I have limited space. The requirement apparently is 30"
Ya I have near 3 feet or just under from the top of the stove to the roof. If you have 30" I'm sure you'd be fine
A tip for that braun coffee maker if you not doing it already,boil the water before you put it into the braun.
have you taken the temp to see how much heat you get? also do they make them a little bigger than that?! great vid.
I haven't taken the exact temperature. They do make one larger stove called the grizzly, this is the cub.
Make sure you give it its first burn outside where it's ventilated before installing it inside, trust me I made this mistake!
Yes that's a good idea, I didn't do that and it was a little hazy for the first week, but not too bad
Why do you need to burn it outside first? What is the difference or outcome? I'm looking into ordering one myself for my tiny home.
Johnny Blue When you purchase your brand new wood burner, it would of come straight of the assembly line. That means the fire resistant paint would not have been baked. For my first burn, I left it outside burning for a good 4/5 hours just to burn of the chemicals from the paint.
@@bigjohnconnect cool I would have never thought of that. Thank you so much. I'm looking into this mini stove, the store is actually 20 minutes away from my place in Montreal. I've got a hundred square feet in my tiny house, and I'm wondering if it will do a good job for heating up while we have - 30 degrees Celsius here in the winter. What do you think? Should I go for it
@@johnnyblue_ because the newly painted stove paint burns off the stove
I want one!
They are pretty essential!
Nice video. Did you have to cut the little tabs at the bottom of the rail to take it off? Thanks
no I didn't, it just has to be jigged around to slide out the holes
@@lifeofluke okay, I didn’t want to break it thanks.
Enjoyed the video! Hope you use a carbon monoxide tester in that small of space.
Thanks Dennis! I don't have a carbon monoxide detector I just crack the window or door for air flow
It's a vented stove- no need for a carbon monoxide test.
@@pouglwaw5932
I always use a carbon monoxide tester. I don’t put that much trust in any wood stove.
Where did you find that rubber top for the outside. I am installing a stove and that is the finishing touch.. I live in Canada, all tips would be greatly appreciated.
I believe the rubber boot came with the flashing kit
How is the heat on the ceiling directly above the stove? We have found that our ceiling gets alarming hot.
It can get warm at times, but it's not too bad. If it does get hot I would suggest opening a door or window for some fresh air circulation.
nice. did you get the wall mount, chimney pipe, and screws and extra bits all from Cubic?
yes
ok Luke ... you inspired me
How long does the fire last with a full load of wood? All night?
Where can I bye one
Would this stove work for a van?
It could, depending on the size of your van
I would like to see the flue exit the foundation wall.. i have a raised ranch house.. 3 ' of exposed wall on outside.
Wall exit stoves are a bad idea. 90° bends are dangerous.
Ideal for travel trailers or fifth wheels... always have a back up for when the propane runs out during the zombie apocalypse!!.🤣🤣❤️🇺🇲
Hi once it finally rainwd..did the sealant hold up?
yes
What stops the 5 inch pipe when you slide it over the three inch like in your video.
The five inch needs to extend 12 inches above the roof. I just bought the grizzly and soon will install the stove pipe
Nothing stops the 5 inch, but you also have the 3 to 5 adapter ring that will screw in holding them together
Hi can I ask how much the fire was please and also does the door get smoky and sooty so u cannot see the flame Many Thanks x
Yes, the door gets sooty and needs to be occasionally cleaned, all together the stove and parts were about $1500
@@lifeofluke Many Thanks for your help
Hey man, I also have a cubic mini cub in my RV. Iv'e been trying to find advice on the direction of the pipes though. After about a week I got some creosote dripping inside and I asked alot of wood stove people and they all said the pipes were upside down. Cubic mini says to install with male facing down, but you, myself, and everyone else installed them with the male side facing up (ridged side of the pipe.) I am really confused by this, because the pictures on cubic mini website even show the male side facing up! Do you have insight on this?
hey Babhru, the ridged end of the pipe is the female end. Because the pipe exit on the stove box is female, the pipe slides on with the male end at the bottom, female at the top, so the next pipe piece slides on accordingly. Hope that helps!
@@lifeofluke Hey! Thanks for your input. So your saying, they are reffering to the male end as the inside piping and not the outside piping?
yes, the male end should fit into the female end of the next piece of stove pipe
Hey I wanna put a micro stove in my van also where did you get yours...........thankz....... ... ... .
the manufacturer is called 'cubic mini'
There should be a metal flange for the interior roof hole, or there will be a roof fire in your fortune cookie
one thing about covering the inside is there ever is a leak like heavy snow and wind can cause you will not see it before it all saturates whereas it drips on the stove and hisses then you fix it roight away
Just wondering if you have ever had a problem with the wall clearance being so close? I am looking at installing one in my tiny camper but not sure how it would go with composite caravan wall materials
Hi! I've never had an issue with the pipe close to the wall, that being said, there's a metal backing with an air gap to deflect the heat away from the wall.
@lifeofluke OK thank you. I'm excited to install a mini fireplace as they look incredible. Not really needed in the Australian Queensland heat but will look the part. Haha.
Cold mornings? How many times do you feed it a night? We live off grid in the west kootenays in a converted school bus and our woodstove is just large enough to keep us comfortable in the winter. (Its rated for 1500 sq ft)
Ya, most mornings are cold if I don't feed it at night. I'm not burning hard wood or any fire logs which I guess might burn longer, but the size itself prevents a large amount of wood in the stove to burn all night.
You definitely need a good woodstove in the Kootenays!
HINT: At night if you put a few charcoal briquets in the bottom of it... the wood will burn down but the briquets will stay hot!!
I leaned this trick from an old man... I had 2 big fireplaces in my Bed and Breakfast and was up all night trying to keep them hot...
@@judichristopher4604 That's a great tip!
Did you get two 24” sections of flue? Or was one 24” section enough
yep I have 2 x 24" sections of flue
Is fire required or that’s optional?
In Canada in the winter, a fire is required
Hi friend. To ask. Does the lower lever do it? Which is under the door.
Does the lower level do what? - The lower lever is for opening/closing the air flow, used when starting the fire
@@lifeofluke Thank you for the answer. Always be well!
Smart need you
How did you cut the hole in the roof!?
a messy process of drilling, hacking, and sawing, haha
Looks too small for logs. What length logs fit in that tiny stove? How long will it burn between loads?
How often do you have to feed the stove?
every 1/2hr or so, pretty often
How much was the stove please
