Just used your video as a guide while installing my first brand new wood stove in my very first home as a homeowner. It’s a single wide mobile home as well and I can’t thank you enough for giving me the inspiration to believe I could do it all myself... Using only your video and one other like it as install references, and videos from northline express for the parts, and a few videos from other people all over the world on how to properly use it and all I need to know about wood... I just had a very successful, and safe first fire in it! I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for making this, (and all of your other videos I have watched now) and let you know how much of a positive impact you are having on more people than you even know. I thank you and a couple other people personally and would shake your hand if I ever had the opportunity to. I’m going to enjoy many cold snowy nights now in my warm home thanks in big part to people like you. Thank you from my family to yours! -Jason, Erin, Ryder🐶, and now our newest addition to our family come April of ‘21! - from Colorado 🏡 🏔 🔥 🙌🏽😁
Thank you Jason for saying that! I am really glad that this video was able to help you out. This was one of the hardest things for me to do. Thank you!
Be careful about inserting the stove pipe going upward, into the next section. That way, creosote leaks backward thru the joint, and drips into your home. Always install stove pipe inserting the top section into the lower section. That way the creosote will drip backward into the inside of the pipe, and be self-contained. I learned this the hard way!
Wood heat is the bomb! In our former home in the mountains of NC, not far from where you live, we had a 5' long huge woodstove for backup in our 3 story 3500 sq. ft. home, at our blueberry farm. On Christmas Eve 2000 it began to snow and eventually we became without power. Thank good news for our huge woodstove. We fired her up and cooked on and heated our home for 4 days till the power came back on. It was so cozy and warm to use the woodstove. I love wood heaters.😊🌲🌲🌲
Good job, I installed our wood stove in our mobile home last year. I'm sure glad I did because now we save a lot of $ on gas. Plus I like to cut firewood to. Stay warm!
It is incredibly ironic that I came across this video. I'm in the market to install one myself. When you said Black Mountain, I about crapped myself. I'm about 30 minutes from there lol. Thanks for the awesome video!
We installed ours using your video! Only problem was we built tile hearth (floor, back and sides) prior to checking to see where studs were. Pain in the butt! Had to cut THROUGH studs and build c braces. Check where your studs are FIRST before you do anything. Otherwise, your video took us through complete install! We had some issues with ordering parts and knowing what we needed but ordered Duravent double wall system from Northline Express. Their sales rep helped us with parts and adapters plus they have a RUclips channel that has plenty of videos that describe piecing together the stovepipe pieces. Thank you for great instructional video that walked us through each step!
I think it's great that you guys are DIY and not afraid to tackle new jobs. I'm confused about the heat though, if it's not heating up the shelf or anything around it, how is it heating the house? From our past experiences wood stoves should really heat things up. My only critique, stop using drywall screws for everything! And keep an eye on that roof. Water leaks are a mobile home's worst enemy. All in all, good job and excellent learning experience. We look forward to installing one of our own someday.
I have the same wood stove. The sides really don't heat up much at all, when compared to the single wall pipe a foot above the stove itself. The same goes for the area behind the stove as he demonstrated. It really backs up the manual's indications of clearance to combustibles, which is as close as 10' with single wall stove pipe, and 8' if using double wall. Hard to believe until you actually experience it ( was about to waste a weekend installing a heat shield ).But the thing provides a surprisingly large amount of heat, compared to an old Efel Kamina I'm used to.
Thank you for what you shared... And so glad that it's working better for you now. I had to learn all about a wood stove in my early adult life also. It's sure a wonderful way to heat a home .. so cozy and also nice to warm up next to, and have for cooking! Thank you, Jason and Lorraine... and it's great to see Penelope enjoying the wood heat and reading. Many blessings to you all!😊🔥📖💓
congrats for leaving California and building your own life on your own terms..I am right behind you...I'm deciding between this stove and the cubic mini grizzly as my place is under 400 sq feet..And my "normal " wood stove will be way too much for the little place even with sub zero temps from what I hear..
Great tutorial video. To get a longer wood burn, I suggest you install a damper in the exhaust flue out the top of the stove. This will slow the burn. Useful at night so you dont have to get up and feed the fire. The woodstove will develop a personality and from our family experience we named it "Smokey". After fire is out, closing the damper will prevent a downdraft of cold air dumping ash, smokey smells and a cold draft into the room. Having said that, enjoy. Your family has a new member!!!
Love the video!! How funny it was to watch all this & thinking man he did a fantastic job. Then you made it even better to hear Black Mtn Stove & Chimney! Small world. Born & raised in Blk Mtn. Awesome.
Hi...... Jason and Lorraine nice to see you, you both are doing a good job . I never seen that wood stove it amazing, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🐔🐓🐥🌱🎥👍👍👍
Very nice. We have a zero clearance fireplace that is absolutely useless to us. You can build a fire in it but it's essentially colder in the home because our heat goes up the chimney will burning. Maybe with your video I can convince my wife to make a change. We are also in a mobile home. I'm sure if you are in Western NC then you are enjoying your wood stove on a snowy day today!
Excellent job and video. You need a poker to move the coals and wood. I get free wood off Craigslist and Facebook and how noticing where utility companies trim under power lines. They leave wood. I have a rechargeable battery chainsaw that has been going strong for 3 years. But the chain needs sharpened -another skill. Splitting wood is a workout that is actually enjoyable. My grandpa 🧔🏼taught me how to split wood and use a couple of wedges if need be.
Great video. Was considering doing this in our off grid cabin but honestly after seeing it I think I'd rather spend $1500 in more solar and batteries to run an electric one. I think you did an awesome job but I'm more comfortable with electricity than live fires (especially for renters). Thanks for the insight!
That the funny thing, they say itll heat up to 1200 square feet but that is basically a wall less square box they test these things in. Now put it in the front living room of a 1000squar foot mobile home and the back bedroom freezes
You are a genius Wow it looks great I was thinking about getting wood stove chimney for my cabin but I'm still thinking about it, but you're looks so nice. Thank you for sharing your video.
You gave an excellent demonstration Jason so even though I cannot have a wood stove due to living in a room in my daughters house no knowledge is always a good thing. Patty
Thank you buddy!! I’ll be installing mine soon, and I really needed the guidance. Thanks for taking the time to make your video, it will really help me and my lack of skill and problem solving skills
When you put the flashing under the shingles you need to go up as many layers as possible never put silicone under the flashing that goes towards the endge of the roof. That can creat a dam if water does get under it cut your shingles to fit around pipe and use silicone under the shingles you lifted up and remove any loose nailes or staples that may have come loose. In your climate you dont worry about alot of snow but further north the ice will back up on tje roof and if everything isnt hunky dory it will get up under the shingles get warm and leak
Excellent job as always! Growing up with wood stoves I cringe every time I see how close you albums are to your stove. I would definitely consider moving them away from the stove and installing some protective material to the walls around it. Just a thought, purely out of concern for you all. Are you enjoying the fruits of your labor? Blessings...
Really nice result but the best thing for me is to see a young guy undertaking challenging and useful DIY tasks for his home. Great to see. Cheers for the video and good luck with the stove. I hope it gives you years of warmth
Thank you for your time! I think your idea to go straight up is the best and not out to the side and back up. Brackets on top smart! :-) You are lucky that you have a family that lets you do this, too! ;-) Best wishes on your health!
Very nice Jason, turned out beautiful! If you said it was difficult, it must have been, because working on those bus conversions you get around petty good with tools and all. Thanks for sharing and the honesty. ;)
How much does it heat up that one room? I'm guessing it doesn't heat up the whole house, however, if something ever happens to your gas or propane tank, you have that to fall back on. I was without gas for 3 days and I wished I had something like that. I'm glad I stumbled on this video.
Hi Eric, this heats up really well. The whole house does feel some warmth when it get's going. We had no power for 8 hrs. in the snow and this stove kept us warm! We really like it. thanks for the comment Eric!
For anyone looking to do this, check out Ventis Chimney for the best pipe. It’s made in PA and they do Butt welded seams vs the overlapping seams the supervent and duravent stuff.
Great video try using urethane for the flashing and shingles it'll save you time and money if the silicone doesn't hold or breaks down over time. I've used it for years with no trouble at all. Some times silicone will break down in cold and damp weather.
Does it heat your entire home like keeps every room comfortable? I am trying to do away with electric heat and my landlord told me I could put a Woodstove in. I used to have a Woodstove in my old mobile home I used to have but the issue I was having was getting the entire 70ft trailer heated with it. I used to also burn let the pipe get to 500 degrees for a half hour once a week and never had issues with creasote build up.
The best cleaner for the window on your wood stove is wood ash and newspapers dampened with water. That takes off all the burnt on deposits from the fires. A little trick we learned from Vermont Castings, a wood stove company.
Im also trying to install my wood stove similar too yours in a 14 by 60 mobile home tin roof...I gotta go buy glasses so I can read the directions ..Thank you.. P.S ..I love your life
Nice video but one thing I noticed, your box flashing should have went over the shingles. This helps insure that in the event of pipe failure that your osb is shielded from any potential fire hazard. Also I would have added foam fire block. But that's just me.
Thats awesome me and my girlfriend live in a single wide and wanted to put a wood stove. I heard you say black mountain i live in fairview if your in the asheville area, thanks again friend!
You did a great job, I have one I have to install in my home too, only crappy thing is my house was built in 54... 🤦🏻♂️ It's hard to tell what I might find lol
Is the vent motor installed a requirement for this to safely work? I'm looking more for a natural draft type stove, as I'd like it to work even in a power outage.
It shows you used a 6” adapter to the firebox, however the stove pipe you used is 8” inches. Is this right? Or does it have something to do with the stove pipe being double walled? Love the video. Thanks
Jason I am from the city and where moving to the country over there we need a woodstove or wood based furnace (guessing same thing) I have been looking for something similar to be somewhat a heating base for our house we have the hole on the wall and the outside set up done we just need the actual woodstove and the vent pipe to attach from the furnace to the wall but since I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING OR LOOKING FOR, NEWBIE ALSO, your video was extremely useful my house is on a 2296 sqft property house itself is 1238 sqft 2 levels. I'm still doing homework but if you have any suggestions or any of the viewers do I would HONESTLY, TRULY FROM MY HEART WOULD APPRECIATE any helpful advice thank you. I would of never thought of a Stove and Chimney place, that alone helped narrow down a whole lot again THANK YOU.
Diane Charles figuring out what you need is difficult. Directions make it hard to understand. Also, nobody has all the parts. I didn’t show all the multiple trips to every hardware store in asheville looking for parts. Haha thanks Diane! Hope you have. A good day!
Amazing video brother. Had my brand new wood stove for a year now. Still afraid to install it in my mobile home but I think I feel confident after watching you do yours. Keep up the good work 👊🏽 hope mine turns out half as good as yours
I was so hoping this was being done in a metal on metal singlewide with no OSB on the roof but only rolled metal roof.Wanting to do this but definetly will have to make a framework between 24inch on center and how leaks and roof rumble wont cause leaks.
I would really like to have a wood stove in my double wide, I live out in the bush a bit and am stuck using propane for heat in the winter. My yearly propane (just for heating) costs around $1600. The problem is my home insurance said that if I put a wood stove in, my insurance would pretty much double from $1100 a year to a little over $2000 a year. Meaning I would have to save $900 in propane every year, plus the cost of going out myself and getting firewood, just not sure if it would be worth it overall.
Do you think this would work with a sunroom on the outside? I don't have direct access to the outside with where i want to put it, it would just vent into the sunroom
Couple questions...you said that there wasn't any heat next to the records and behind the wood stove...I this because of the blower fan? If so, what about when the power goes out...have you tried it without the fan? Also, why did you choose to use double wall on the stove to the ceiling...was it an insurance thing? Why did you choose to not use a damper in the flue pipe? In my experience not having one makes burn times shorter as all ( or most of) the heat travels up the flue which in turn costs more in wood. Thanks for the video, I have done something similar in a mobile home when I changed over a customer from electric to propane...it's a pain for certain! Nice job!
I hope you trimmed those shingles to sit flat on roof and put a bit of sealant under to hold down. If you get a stiff wind under those shingles they can get ripped off.
Nice install, pretty much by the book with exception to the sheet rock screws holding the support box, don't sweat the silicone job, if that area on the shingles or class a chimney gets hot enough to affect the regular silicone then you have bigger issues to deal with. The Englander 17vl is a small but proven work horse, its a convective heater, meaning it will heat the air through those vent holes and then send the heated air into the room, the blower running on low will help a ton, plus you have radiant heat through the large glass. Wood moisture is the key with any new epa approved stove, buy a cheap moisture meter and test your splits, you want wood to be
My FIL cleans his Ashbox once to twice a day. Pretty much when he loads wood in. He uses harder wood at night so the fire doesnt go out. He also had the fireplace tools that are iron to move everything around as it burns down.
I don’t know anything about wood stoves so I hope this isnt a dumb question. If you can’t feel heat behind the stove or on the side of the stove where the records are how does it heat the house? What part of the stove is giving off heat and how is the heat getting to the rest of the house? 💕
its actually a great question. its the front that gives off the most heat, regardless of model. The first two feet of stove pipe is also quite hot as well, but the heat radiating from that isn't large enough for owners to be worried about it being lost out the chimney.
Is this your only heat source for the mobile home? We are planning to use a woodstove for our only heat source, and worry about getting the heat down the long hall. We have an old 720 sq ft single wide. Not the best insulation. We also live PA so not the worst wintets but not the best. How well does it keep the whole home warm?
I can tell you have pride in ownership. Interesting that you had to cut a hole for intake air. Most of the time in a home you don't have to have an air inlet. Good job.
Thank you for making this video. I am about to embark on the same mission. This video is very well put together, with NO NONSENSE or BS filler. I RESPECT that,.. BC time is VALUABLE, and I like getting straight to the point. VERY INFORMATIVE! We are basically doing the same thing as yall are (I read your intro/bio) where we are trying to become mostly SELF SUFFICIENT in our way of living. I am a welder/fabricator by trade. Plus, we only live about a hour from yall,. Just down the mnt, on the SC/NC state line. We would love to get to know yall, and have more like-minded friends. BTW: I am about to SUBSCRIBE to YOUR CHANNEL. YOU will be the VERY 1st person/channel that I have EVER SUBSCRIBED too. (and I have been on RUclips for about 20 years.) And I'm about to go on a binge watching all of your videos. Thanks again. Thomas Arrowood
Hi. I got a mobile home and it has a wood stove which looks sealed. Previos owner does not have info. Is this common on mobile homes. If so, why they are commonly not in use? Thank you
Just used your video as a guide while installing my first brand new wood stove in my very first home as a homeowner. It’s a single wide mobile home as well and I can’t thank you enough for giving me the inspiration to believe I could do it all myself... Using only your video and one other like it as install references, and videos from northline express for the parts, and a few videos from other people all over the world on how to properly use it and all I need to know about wood...

I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for making this, (and all of your other videos I have watched now) and let you know how much of a positive impact you are having on more people than you even know. I thank you and a couple other people personally and would shake your hand if I ever had the opportunity to.

Thank you Jason for saying that! I am really glad that this video was able to help you out. This was one of the hardest things for me to do. Thank you!
Be careful about inserting the stove pipe going upward, into the next section. That way, creosote leaks backward thru the joint, and drips into your home.
Always install stove pipe inserting the top section into the lower section.
That way the creosote will drip backward into the inside of the pipe, and be self-contained.
I learned this the hard way!
I like the fact that you don't pretend to be an expert, or a know it all. You work fast, and the install is excellent!
Wood heat is the bomb! In our former home in the mountains of NC, not far from where you live, we had a 5' long huge woodstove for backup in our 3 story 3500 sq. ft. home, at our blueberry farm. On Christmas Eve 2000 it began to snow and eventually we became without power. Thank good news for our huge woodstove. We fired her up and cooked on and heated our home for 4 days till the power came back on. It was so cozy and warm to use the woodstove. I love wood heaters.😊🌲🌲🌲

It is incredibly ironic that I came across this video. I'm in the market to install one myself. When you said Black Mountain, I about crapped myself. I'm about 30 minutes from there lol. Thanks for the awesome video!
This is so smart. Dude, YOU are gonna save a ton of money. Love your set-up.
We installed ours using your video! Only problem was we built tile hearth (floor, back and sides) prior to checking to see where studs were. Pain in the butt!

Just picked up the same stove on clearance for my mobile home. I'am replacing the fireplace that was in it. This is a great video thank you.
Hope it worked good!

manufacturers don't recommend a damper. Doesn't need it actually.
Been looking at these stoves very closely as a replacement to the "fireplace" that came in my mobile home. Thank you for the video.
Enjoyable and informative! I had no idea they made specific stoves for mobile homes.
You are awesome for what you are doing for your family you are very smart. I hope I can do the same with my single wide
Love the video!! How funny it was to watch all this & thinking man he did a fantastic job. Then you made it even better to hear Black Mtn Stove & Chimney! Small world. Born & raised in Blk Mtn. Awesome.
awesome!!
The finishing piece you bought looks MUCH better than what came with the kit! Final product looks awesome!
Hi Natalie! thank you!
Hi...... Jason and Lorraine nice to see you, you both are doing a good job . I never seen that wood stove it amazing, thank you for sharing your video homestead chicken farmer garden 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🐔🐓🐥🌱🎥👍👍👍
I would move the records just to be on the safe side. However, you made the project look easy for a DIY person. Thank you. God bless.

Heck of a job, Dude ......You should be proud
Awesome job I think you are very resourceful. Love your plumbob.
Our trailer is a single wide 16x80. What kinda wood stove would I need please.
Loved the video can’t wait til we’re able to get us one.
Thank you for your time! I think your idea to go straight up is the best and not out to the side and back up. Brackets on top smart! :-) You are lucky that you have a family that lets you do this, too! ;-) Best wishes on your health!
love the plum bob!! Great job!!
Thank you for this video brother! Perfect timing. I want to put a wood stove in my Double wide so badly!
Wood warms you at least twice. Thanks for sharing! God bless.
That is going to be a monster of a stove with that intake going to the outside and the fan lol
Nothing like wood heat! You’re going to definitely want to move those albums!
Enjoy your new stove! Stay safe!
Thanks for this video. I have a double wide and am looking to convert my fire place to either a wood stove or gas logs
Very nice Jason, turned out beautiful! If you said it was difficult, it must have been, because working on those bus conversions you get around petty good with tools and all. Thanks for sharing and the honesty. ;)

Funny, says after completing the job, he feels "no heat" in vicinity of stove!
Looks great Jason, I would love to reinstall my VT Castings stove in my basement as a backup heat source.
For anyone looking to do this, check out Ventis Chimney for the best pipe. It’s made in PA and they do Butt welded seams vs the overlapping seams the supervent and duravent stuff.
Sounds like you worked it out, Finding one to work for your space, at least for now. Sometimes, trial & error are only way.
Thanks
Great video try using urethane for the flashing and shingles it'll save you time and money if the silicone doesn't hold or breaks down over time. I've used it for years with no trouble at all. Some times silicone will break down in cold and damp weather.
awesome work thank you. be safe and god bless your family..
5 years later, would you do it again? Happy with it still?
To whom it may concern:
Check with your home insurance company before you do anything. Uninspected DIY stuff will likely void your policy.
Great job, new news for me on a specific stove for trailers.
Does it heat your entire home like keeps every room comfortable? I am trying to do away with electric heat and my landlord told me I could put a Woodstove in. I used to have a Woodstove in my old mobile home I used to have but the issue I was having was getting the entire 70ft trailer heated with it.

cool video. how hard would it be to un do the system and pack it up?
You did a great job, I have one I have to install in my home too, only crappy thing is my house was built in 54... 🤦🏻♂️ It's hard to tell what I might find lol

Jason I am from the city and where moving to the country over there we need a woodstove or wood based furnace (guessing same thing) I have been looking for something similar to be somewhat a heating base for our house we have the hole on the wall and the outside set up done we just need the actual woodstove and the vent pipe to attach from the furnace to the wall but since I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING OR LOOKING FOR, NEWBIE ALSO, your video was extremely useful my house is on a 2296 sqft property house itself is 1238 sqft 2 levels. I'm still doing homework but if you have any suggestions or any of the viewers do I would HONESTLY, TRULY FROM MY HEART WOULD APPRECIATE any helpful advice thank you. I would of never thought of a Stove and Chimney place, that alone helped narrow down a whole lot again THANK YOU.
love the water kettle wood heat does dry out the air
Looks great. Are wood stove install was difficult too. Makes you really appreciate it when it’s done though. 😁
This was so awesome, going to look up home depot for this, scared me some when you said it was really difficult, but you made it look easy! 😢
Diane Charles figuring out what you need is difficult. Directions make it hard to understand. Also, nobody has all the parts. I didn’t show all the multiple trips to every hardware store in asheville looking for parts. Haha thanks Diane! Hope you have. A good day!
Sow the Land thanks, we have a mobile home in south western va mountains, and this was just what I had been looking for!
Amazing video brother. Had my brand new wood stove for a year now. Still afraid to install it in my mobile home but I think I feel confident after watching you do yours. Keep up the good work 👊🏽 hope mine turns out half as good as yours
You need to use high temp silicone on that flashing goes around the flue pipe to the flashing on the roof
Does it heat the whole home or just the room it is in do you save big time on your electric bill was it worth putting it in.
Now all you need is some Dynamite or Dripolator coffee, and enjoy the winter
I was so hoping this was being done in a metal on metal singlewide with no OSB on the roof but only rolled metal roof.Wanting to do this but definetly will have to make a framework between 24inch on center and how leaks and roof rumble wont cause leaks.
Nice job Jason!! I have been wanting a wood stove myself!
THANKS FOR SHARING / IT WAS LOTS OF HELP
Great install. Wood fires are the best.
I would really like to have a wood stove in my double wide, I live out in the bush a bit and am stuck using propane for heat in the winter. My yearly propane (just for heating) costs around $1600. The problem is my home insurance said that if I put a wood stove in, my insurance would pretty much double from $1100 a year to a little over $2000 a year. Meaning I would have to save $900 in propane every year, plus the cost of going out myself and getting firewood, just not sure if it would be worth it overall.
What is the dryer vent pipe for? I have never seen that. Now I'm not sure if I need it.
Outstanding! Thanks for posting.
Do you think this would work with a sunroom on the outside? I don't have direct access to the outside with where i want to put it, it would just vent into the sunroom
Pretty darn good for a city boy from Cali ! 😃 Be blessed y'all !
Looks good family
Couple questions...you said that there wasn't any heat next to the records and behind the wood stove...I this because of the blower fan? If so, what about when the power goes out...have you tried it without the fan? Also, why did you choose to use double wall on the stove to the ceiling...was it an insurance thing? Why did you choose to not use a damper in the flue pipe? In my experience not having one makes burn times shorter as all ( or most of) the heat travels up the flue which in turn costs more in wood. Thanks for the video, I have done something similar in a mobile home when I changed over a customer from electric to propane...it's a pain for certain! Nice job!
I hope you trimmed those shingles to sit flat on roof and put a bit of sealant under to hold down. If you get a stiff wind under those shingles they can get ripped off.
Nice install, pretty much by the book with exception to the sheet rock screws holding the support box, don't sweat the silicone job, if that area on the shingles or class a chimney gets hot enough to affect the regular silicone then you have bigger issues to deal with.
The Englander 17vl is a small but proven work horse, its a convective heater, meaning it will heat the air through those vent holes and then send the heated air into the room, the blower running on low will help a ton, plus you have radiant heat through the large glass.
Wood moisture is the key with any new epa approved stove, buy a cheap moisture meter and test your splits, you want wood to be
That's a loud fan for such a small space. That's where they get you on the less expensive models.
That's amazing! Thanks for the upload.
Great job! Thanks for the video
My FIL cleans his Ashbox once to twice a day. Pretty much when he loads wood in. He uses harder wood at night so the fire doesnt go out. He also had the fireplace tools that are iron to move everything around as it burns down.
I don’t know anything about wood stoves so I hope this isnt a dumb question. If you can’t feel heat behind the stove or on the side of the stove where the records are how does it heat the house? What part of the stove is giving off heat and how is the heat getting to the rest of the house? 💕
its actually a great question. its the front that gives off the most heat, regardless of model. The first two feet of stove pipe is also quite hot as well, but the heat radiating from that isn't large enough for owners to be worried about it being lost out the chimney.
you did a fantastic job sir! just found your channel and i love it!
Is this your only heat source for the mobile home? We are planning to use a woodstove for our only heat source, and worry about getting the heat down the long hall. We have an old 720 sq ft single wide. Not the best insulation. We also live PA so not the worst wintets but not the best. How well does it keep the whole home warm?
I can tell you have pride in ownership. Interesting that you had to cut a hole for intake air. Most of the time in a home you don't have to have an air inlet. Good job.
the stove directions said I needed one. I just went by the directions. thanks!
Mobile homes are so tightly built that you need outside air for oxygen.
Thank you for making this video. I am about to embark on the same mission. This video is very well put together, with NO NONSENSE or BS filler. I RESPECT that,.. BC time is VALUABLE, and I like getting straight to the point. VERY INFORMATIVE! We are basically doing the same thing as yall are (I read your intro/bio) where we are trying to become mostly SELF SUFFICIENT in our way of living. I am a welder/fabricator by trade. Plus, we only live about a hour from yall,. Just down the mnt, on the SC/NC state line. We would love to get to know yall, and have more like-minded friends. BTW: I am about to SUBSCRIBE to YOUR CHANNEL. YOU will be the VERY 1st person/channel that I have EVER SUBSCRIBED too. (and I have been on RUclips for about 20 years.) And I'm about to go on a binge watching all of your videos. Thanks again.

Hi. I got a mobile home and it has a wood stove which looks sealed. Previos owner does not have info. Is this common on mobile homes. If so, why they are commonly not in use? Thank you
Very good video. You need a regular video post. I enjoy your method. Thank you very much.
How did you do the pad? I also live in a single wide and needing a back up for this winter
You have a video on making the Pad ??
