Copper Coil Wood Stove Water Heater For My Hot Tub (Stage 1 Fire Ban Approved)

- Hey Everyone, I wanted to figure out a way to operate my hot tub during a fir ban so I came up with this idea. I cut some holes into a wood stove and ran a copper coil through it essentially creating a water heater in an enclosed firebox. This is compliant with Stage 1 fire ban restrictions.
Thanks for watching! ~ Brian & Sierra

Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.
At first glance at your video, I thought Brian is going to be cooking up some shine lol!
Haha, definitely been thinking about it! Might as well give it a shot to see how it turns out. Hope you're having a great week, Dane! ~ Brian
Hi Brian. Go Sierra, live your best life. I think she came to say hi to the camera and let us know she's okay. I wanna get in that hot tub so bad Brian, I can't wait to see you enjoy it!
Thanks Vivian, this tub is a life saver after a long day of building trails on the property! Sierra seems to enjoy naps under a nearby tree while I clear trees and bushes. She's living a great life out here! :)
Not even a minute into this video, and the picture of that copper pipe wound around that stove pipe gave me an idea. Copper pipe wound tight and fastened to that stove pipe, then fill the stove pipe with lit charcoal. You would need holes for air in the stove pipe, but was just thinking that might be an efficient design. Sorry, but that's one reason why I watch your videos, I get ideas to try......maybe.
Great idea, Doug! I'd like to mess with the heat source a bit more this fall once temps cool down so I'll give that a shot to see how things turn out. I love that my videos give you ideas to try, keep the suggestions coming! Have a great evening ~ Brian
I love that it worked! I couldn't really imagine how it was going to work but seeing it come together was awesome!
Yeah, this little stove water heater is really doing a great job! I love the simplicity of it and having it legal during a fire ban is key. Hope you are having a good Weds! ~ Brian
Ingenious!
Time to make the moonshine!!!😀
LOL 😂
Backcountry party at my place!! I'll provide the drinks :)
Hi sweet Sierra: Really impressed with y getting the hot tub set up. Now next video you chilling!! Ha
.
Most definitely! I LOVE the relaxing vibes of this tub. It's so refreshing to soak in epsom salt after a long day of working my land. Have a great afternoon, Bobbi! ~ Brian
Wow...very nice.
Thank you, seems to be working out well so far!
Cool tub 👍
I love this thing! By far the best upgrade I've made to my place. ~ Brian
THAT JB WELD comes in a putty stick as well that's a little easier to work with and sets much faster. I used it to patch a dime sized hole in the valve cover on my boat engine and it never failed. 🐂🤠🐂
Right on, I'll see if they have that in the high temp rating. Sure do love using this stuff!
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures Yeah, they do, or did back then. They also have the underwater set and they all pretty much set in 5 minutes. I had to get the high heat from a little hardware store locally but not sure about the big stores.
Hey there Brian. Man you are quite the engineer. Very good idea on heating your tub. Good to see your truck back in the drive. Got to go man. Take care. Vaughn
Hey Vaughn, yeah this little contraption is working pretty good! Hope your summer is going great, have an awesome evening ~ Brian
Great video 👍 Bryan. Just a thought wrap that coil around the first chimney pipe and put a larger pipe over the copper coil. Put a cap around the first inner and over the coil and larger pipe to trap the heat. Just an idea for next time. Great videos 👍👍.
Thanks Doug! I might give that a shot to see how it works.
SIERRA LOVE YOU Sierra and Brian Love 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you, we love you too! :)
The Hot Tub looks so inviting! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I love it! Now that the temps are HOT there's no need to run the stove...passive solar heats up the water to a very comfortable temp!
I'd have used a drill& step bit to make the holes 🕳️ but whatever works in the Backcountry.
✌️
Unfortunately I didn't have a step bit for my drill and the nearest hardware store is 1.5 hours away so I just made due with what was on hand. So far, so good! Seems to be working well. ~ Brian
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures Yeah, the stove holes are much less critical (contain 🔥 sparks) than the holes in the stock tank that have to remain water tight. ✌️
Nice, like the ingenuity of the setup! Also sharp looking hat too.
Thanks Tyler! I'm happy to report the small wood stove water heater is working great. I'm using far less wood and it's nice to walk away from the stove and not worry about any fire dangers. Have a great evening, thanks for tuning in! ~ Brian
Haha Sierra like "Naaa I'm good in here next to the AC" 😄💕👍
Nice job on the new hot water stove. Would love to see you make a solar heater for it during summer. Get some black hose and lay it all out in the sun and a small pump to circulate is all youd need during day time. But the stove works great in colder times and night
Hey Jonny! Hope your summer is starting off on a great note! Yeah, I plan to add that eventually but haven't had a chance to order the materials yet. Honestly, with these rising temps I'm thinking the tub will primarily be a cool plunge until temps start to cool off in the fall. I stopped running the stove a few days ago and a mid day plunge in cool water is NICE right about now!
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures ohh thats true, it may be too hot during the heat waves. Yeah cool plunge is always nice. Hope you're doing well too. Give Sierra some love for me 💕👍
@@JonnyDIY Will do, brother! She's currently sleeping after having a great morning of running around watching me build the rest of the driveway into the property. Things are starting to look good around here, I look forward to showing off my progress in a future vid! Have a great afternoon ~ Brian
Hi 😊 I enjoy watching this kind of stuff lol. Growing up on my Grandparents farm in Buttonwillow, and being a 'city slicker' girl too, I truly had enriching experiences. Hugs to Sierra 🤗
Sounds like a great childhood growing up on your Grandparents farm!
Gonna start calling you Brian MacGyver 😝 (love seeing your sweet baby too 🥰😘)
Definitely thinking outside the box to get things done! Sierra is doing so good, I'm extremely happy the turkey tail mushrooms have provided her an extra pep in her step :)
Hello. Have a safe blessed night! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Καλημέρα Brian and Sierra χαίρομαι που έκανες πάλι βίντεο και σε είδαμε φιλάκια πολλά 😘 στην Sierra 💋 💋 💋 💋 💋 💋 💋 💋 💋 💋 💋 💋
Η Sierra είναι η καλύτερη, μου αρέσει να τη βρέχω με στοργή! Έχω πολλά περισσότερα βίντεο καθ' οδόν, οπότε μείνετε συντονισμένοι για περισσότερα πλάνα της Sierra. Εύχομαι να έχεις μια καλή μέρα!
Awesome idea chief keep up the good work
interesting project, thanks for sharing
You bet, thanks for watching! ~ Brian
I just was going to ask why your not posting much?
Hi Cooltruckin, I think the shadow ban had an effect on folks not seeing new videos. I've posted 32 videos since Feb but lots of folks have commented that they didn't see new vids in their feed for the past few months. It looks like it's getting lifted now so you should be seeing more videos in your feed. Hope you are having an awesome Tuesday, thanks for checking out this video! ~ Brian & Sierra
I'm glad.
Your looking good Brian, yes she is a smart girl not wanting to go in the heat.😊
👍🏻
Is there a pump inline with copper to circulate the water? (Have you seen many snakes (not two legged ones) around your property?
Yeah, I have a small pond pump which circulates the water at 550 gallons per hour. I might get a smaller one that is solar powered....at the moment I'm running an extension cord out to the tub. Glad to report there aren't any two legged snakes poking around my property. It's really nice to have such solitude out here, I love it!
@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures nice; how about rattlers on your property?
❤️❤️❤️👋😁
