Thanks for checking out this step-by-step guide on installing a Cubic Grizzly mini wood stove! I installed this in a ford e350 box van conversion and it is working so well. In an hour or two it will be 70F in the van while it’s below freezing outside, and the heat will radiate afterwards for a few hours!
If I could change something I would mount it closer to the floor as the floor is a noticeable temperature difference if we don't have a fan blowing the heat down - but a powerful fan will also create drafting issues so be careful as to not fill your van up with smoke!
I hope this video helps install a wood stove wherever you may be thinking about installing it. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments. Thank you so much for watching, please give this a thumbs up and subscribe to support the channel! More content coming!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat! Hey Chad! I’m doing a build and looked up how to install my cubic mini. I clicked on your video and I was like wait, I KNOW THAT KID! Awesome job thanks for the help! Hope to see you on the road !!
Hahaha that’s awesome!!! Good luck with your build! Hope you’re doing well!
Beautiful installation! I especially loved your detail in explaining and showing exactly the step-by-step process. Super informative and not a moment of boredom.
I and a friend installed a stove in my rv. Boy did we screw this up. We will be using this video as a guide for the re-install, install.
Thank you and hello from Alaska.
Glad it helped Lisa! I hope the reinstall goes smooth for you. Hello from New Hampshire!
@@boristheboxvan8485 Hello New Hampshire, I'm in a 1994 Fleetwood Bounder. The LPG system heater works but this is a back up.
I just purchased a 6x10 cargo trailer that I am converting, and will be buying a Grizzly this fall. I have been trying to find a good how-to video on installing it, and this one was it! Awesome job. You explained every step, and I will be following your instructions on my install! All the best from BC , Canada!
Best installation instructional for the Cubic I have seen! Thank you thank you!!!!! I love that building behind too!
Thanks bro for the detailed lesson, I may soon do a cargo trailer conversion and this stove may be the trick to heating it in the winters. Thanks for the info on the propane heat I didn’t even think about the condensation factor so yeah dry heat will be my way to go as well.
thanks for detailed install, many others missed many steps, so much appreciated!
thanks so much for posting this!! I am ordering my cubic mini in a couple of weeks. This helped me see exactly what we will need to do. Thanks again!!
Glad it helped and that you enjoyed it Lynette! If youre going to be ordering your stove, it would be awesome if you used my affiliate link in the description. It doesn’t affect pricing or anything but it would give me a cut of the sale and really help me out since I do these videos for free!
Great video. We just purchased the Grizzly for our tiny home and your video has given me some great instructions.
I love my cubic mini and my c-head composting toilet! Great job on the install. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! Glad you’re loving yours as well.
Good instructional video. Now I feel confident installing mine. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
You’re welcome! Happy installing!
PS. I loved the music!! Made it so much fun to watch!!
You guys have the coolest van! Can't wait for the next video!
Thanks Cole!
I found your install very helpful and informative good job your a great teacher
Thanks Bill I appreciate it
I love your Sense of humor it’s awesome you’re very cute and you’re very handy I can’t wait to put mine in my bus
Thank you Sir! It indeed help me a lot.
I really like the video! learned some new things and was very entertained! keep posting!
Thanks Skylar!
Appreciate the video, Chad!!
Do not burn soft wood, only oak, ash, beech, acacia, hornbeam. These are very dense woods! To make the fire last overnight once well lit, reduce the draft. To avoid getting up at night, synchronize with propane and thermostat.
A caveat - don't EVER burn Osage Orage in a stove, grill, etc. It burns hot enough to warp them metal and possibly burn a hole through it.
Excellent job, very impressed.
Thank you!
Thanks so much. I will be installing one in my 14’ camper!, thanks
Hope it goes well!
So glad i found this!
Hope it helped!
This video answered alot of questions for me, thank you, but, I would like to see what you used for the spark arrestor in the flu cap, and how you attached it, yes mire videos would be cool !
I hope you will show a tour of the van soon.
Great video, please do a tour video 👍
YES - video tour please !
Nice work
Nice job.
Great video,Ty ❤❤❤ the details, so exact, which I need. Ty✌️💯🙏❤️🕯️🎈🌻😊
You’re welcome!
That was a wonderful lesson, you are precise, careful, great teacher, And an added bonus you are funny. "Me and er"
Thank you, really appreciate the kind words!
Oh Ya, Forgot to ask. Please Show us Your Rig. AGAIN, THX. Great Show.
Hey, you should prime the fiberglass or it will be eaten up by the sun. Epoxy primer is an good option.
Your outside chimney pipe is too close to the roof of your RV. Hate to tell you that but it is a fire safety hazard. Easily fixed however by adding an extension.
waoo tu si que te mereces mill likes!!!!
Thank you!
Spettacolareeeeeeee
👍🏻
Grazie!
Great Presentation. What kind of wind (noise) or other problems have you encountered while driving
It would be helpful if you added a performance aspect to your install. Did it keep you warm for example?
New at this. I value the info. where can I find the alternative sources for the flue?
Good job
Thank you, I appreciate it!

Quick FYI before you install your wood stove into your van, make sure the very first burn is done outside where it's ventilated. I made this mistake
Thank you for that comment.... I want one of these stoves for my RV
Good job.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Yo if you get rid of the cube get a small rv diesel heater. You can sit warm in the Walmart parking lot for penny's on the dollar
I have one! Best thing since sliced bread
Hey Chad awesome video, a perfect tutorial to install a cubic mini. One question: the company is now recommending a 7" inch hole for the 5" pipe so there is a 1" clearance around the pipe. In your video you only cut a 5" hole for the 5" pipe. This is what I would like to do as well. It is what I have planned for and it would take a lot to reconfigure. Have you had any problems with your install in the last 3 years? Is having a 5 inch hole a problem as far as you can see? Thanks man!
Hey thanks! That’s interesting I didn’t know they changed the specs. I’ve had no issues with the 5” hole at all. Seems to work great!
I want to see the entire conversation van. 🌟🤝🌟
nice install, What was your total cost?
Did you secure the 5" insulated pipe 3"-5" adapter with a screw so that the insulated pipe can't slip out of place? You were
able to spin the insulated pipe easily so the seam was facing the rear.
Yes the 3”-5” adapter is screwed to the 5” insulated pipe this secures it from lifting above the roof line. I still can spin the pipe but it’s slid so tightly over the 3” that it cannot spin by itself and would need to unscrew the 3-5” adapter to take it off.
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 Chad!
Hello! My clearance is 26 1/2” from the top of the stove to the ceiling. I wouldn’t recommend going shorter than this as the ceiling does get warm.
Thanks for your Video. I've Always wanted a Wood-Stove, and Gal-Dangit I'm going to get one. Some people say they are Dangerous?? Oh Ya, What About Driving?? I Love The Heat, Smell & the Fantastic Vib. of a REAL FIRE. My Rig is a 7×12. The One Major Question I have is: Other Videos Proclaim that the Flu, the Tubing, Must be Removed to clean out the Soot. Can you Address this for me?? Also, I Don't plan to have the Stove as High Up as yours. Mine will be about 1-Foot, maybe 2, Off the Floor. SO, do they send Enough Pipe, or is there a Limit to How High Up the Stove must be 'off the floor'??? Sorry So Many Questions. Please Help. THX. Erik.
You can put multiple pipes together. They have a cleaner, you would have to get up on the roof. They have a wall mount too.
like the video but in the long run was the grizzly big enough for your size van ?
tatviator yes! Plenty big, I probably wouldn’t been fine with the smaller model
Does anyone know which insurance company will insure your motorhome after a wood stove is installed?
just bought the cub, but i have a different cap than you (don't know why?) I get straight line winds here so worried I'll get rain in the pipe. doesn't look very leakproof to me. does yours keep all the rain out, or just normal storms?
I never had an issue with Rain although I did have a solid boot cap I would throw on it when driving and only put this cap on when burning or parked for a while.
It looks like you are no longer producing videos. I watched your other Cubic video and thought you did a disservice to the product. But your criticism goes to any small wood stove. You would have been more fair to the company by giving the pros and cons of both types of heat. (Why would anyone travel with a wood stove burning? Why would anyone put hot ashes into a small thin plastic waste basket?. Try tin cans with foil on top. I recycle BBQ coals this way. There are lots of uses for ash. And I always carry an axe and small sharp folding landscape saw when I camp. A wedge would come in handy too. Anyway no need for power) Neverthless I was convinced by your video that the diesel heater was preferable for a van and I thank you for that. However there were some pretty bad reviews on the particular heater you mentioned. I did find some others though. A viewer needs to be aware that in some places diesel isnt always available. One camper had to travel 150 miles to find some. It seems kerosene can be used in some of these heaters I'll have to research that. Thanks for this video too bc I want a Cubic/Grizzly for my cabin but not my truck camper. The free wood and my free labor will eventually make the hefty price worth it.
I’ve seen other installations using air intake coming in below the stove. Is that not necessary?
No, this has a pre installed damper under the door you can open or close to increase air intake
Hey! Great video! Just curious where you bought your pipes from. The only ones I could find are for a pellet stove, the pipes from cubic are a 4-6 week wait. Also wondering where you bought the little trim piece at the end that you put on the ceiling. Thanks!
Hey thanks. I got the pipes and the trim from cubic mini. Perhaps a wood stove shop (if they have one near you) will have some insulated pipe.
@@boristheboxvan8485 Thanks Chad, I appreciate you getting back to me so fast!
Not a problem! Hope all goes well!
Thank you! I have one more question: I saw that someone else asked about cutting a 5” hole instead of a 7”, would you mind elaborating on why you opted to go smaller? I’m super concerned about safety.
@@KMorgenweck8359 I’ve seen it done both ways. I’d ask cubic mini direct as I don’t want to misguide your situation. I haven’t had any problems with the 5” hole but that’s not to say someone else’s in different circumstances wouldn’t.
Did you have any issue with the chimney being so close to your maxx fan or solar panels?
No issues at all, I did go up and check when we were burning and neither were getting hot
Hard to see but isn't the pipe upside down, end for end? Should the smaller end go into the stove so the any water or kreosote drains into the stove, as opposed to onto the stove? Looking at a similar installation and this will help a lot. Thanks!
I don’t believe so but I’m not positive.... I haven’t had issues with water or creosote on top of the stove but what you’re saying does make sense
@@boristheboxvan8485 I'm no pro, just wondering. Thanks for responding and enjoy that heat!! 😀
They have a wall mount now.
They had one at the time I made the video as well I just didn’t want to spend the money on it as the stove itself is already so expensive.
U have to have a fibreglass roof? Can I do this on my vans metal roof?
I’d watch an install on a sprinter or similar. I’m sure it’s a very similar procedure.
@@boristheboxvan8485 thanks and thanks for the vid 👍
i thought that was to be 7 inch hole not 5 inch you need 2 inch clearance around the 5 inch pipe
That is correct 7” hole is what cubic mini has for standards for clearance. The 5” however has worked out for me in my application.
I need to see your toilet!!❤️❤️
how much was it for everything
Brad Heal about $900 USD
Hey sexy. You didn’t cure your stove. 4 hours just raging outside which cures the paint into the metal. Otherwise it just throws stank forever. 4 years later, you’ve moved on. I’m doing a airstream and a thunderbird. Hope to drive out of here in the next two years.
Thankfully I did but I may have not put it in the video! Good luck with your build and safe travels
