Years ago I had a Consolidated Dutchwest XL stove with a built in catalytic converter. I miss that stove so much! It stayed with the house I sold. There is nothing like a fire in the wintertime. I also had a tee in the pipe outside so I could clean it without going up on a ladder. It makes all the difference in the world!
Very nice......a good stove is a blessing for sure
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time. May the lord bless and protect you and Jen on the homestead
Nothing beats wood heat!! 🔥🔥🔥
My Grand mother had a soapstone stove just like that. She lived in southern Michigan. It would be pretty darn cool if this was hers. She would swear it was the best stove to have. Thanks Jay, glad you touched on this subject
That would be cool!
Another great video Jay !! Hope all is well
I remember when you installed it and gave it some love with new parts. It's the perfect spot for it and the clean out just works. Great follow up video Jay.
Thanks buddy
Great review watching from Ontario Canada love your videos'
Awesome! Thank you!
Great comments Jay. We 100% heat with a wood stove. In NE PA we burn 6-7 cords of wood. We buy a tri-axle of wood logs every spring which last year was $800- and a tri-axle load is about 10-cords. I sell the 3 or so left over cords of logs to a neighbor at cost. It takes me about 15-hours per cord to, cut to size, split, and stack. I parse the time out May through July, and depending on other chores around the cabin, I have gone into August. The wood is stacked in covered areas and is stacked, first used/first cut and split to last used in like April last split. I kept records last year and between the cost of logs, gas, oil, and chain sharpening tools (Sometimes I just get lazy and bring them to a place to sharpen up) the cost is under $500- a season. Hope that may answer some questions that people might have. 73 & God Bless
Love it buddy.....so happy you shared this information. It will help people for sure.
❤great video Jay, The cabin looks great.Warm and inviting.
Hello...that was a very informative video! Woot woot for wood stoves!!
Thanks KG
Keeps me healthy cutting wood by hand.
Good vid. Thanks, kids. Stay young ...
Thanks....will do our best
Hope you're enjoying your vacay!
Thank you Jay and Jen 👍🏻 God Bless 🙏🏻Appreciate you my friends!
Cool stovepipe. Very smart!😍🇨🇦
We are wanting this for a cabin at the pond. Thank you for your videos.
Great video. We looked into purchasing a soapstone wood stove about 12 years ago. They are pretty expensive. Great job locating a used one.
We didnt have the fans at first . I have noticed a big change with them. The room we stay in has much more even heat all over. No more cold spots.
Nice.....good to know they help more than I thought 😊👍
Hi Jay and Jen. That is a really nice looking wood stove!
Hey, thanks!
I have also heated with wood x 50 ish years. The new re-burner stoves are much more efficient than the older air tight stoves. So much that I am considering replacing mine to reduce the amount of wood I need to cut.
Thanx for the review brother!! We hope to have our steel wood stove installed in the next month. Probably going to have a couple 90's as well since our cabin is the same size as yours (without the bedroom) Stay Safe and God Bless!!
Goodluck my friend. The flat part of the pipe did have a little more build up than the vertical portion, but nothing excessive or concerning. Best wishes buddy
I make my toast on the top of my stove. I first clean the area where I'm going to place the bread. You can also place a piece of foil if you like.
Very Nice.....like a giant Skillet....=) Love it
Also in the summer we use our propane stove oven. We put our breakfast bread in the oven over night, the pilot keeps the bread warm for us to have with our coffee@@OffgridwithJayandJen
Awesome review and the tea outside for clean out is a fantastic idea👍 Thanks for taking the time to share your experience 👏
You are so welcome!
I like your stove set up and the hearth looks really good. We got an old fisher wood stove i bought for $250 from a guy i work with. Deals are out there if you look for them.
Very nice......and totally agree. You may have to look for a while and pass on a few....but you can find one if you look a while.
Great information! 50 years ago we bought a 1,200 sq ft. well insulated electric heated house, and we couldn't afford the utility bills so we bought a 900 dollar steel wood burning stove with a manual coil thermostat on it which pulled open or closed an air damper on the bottom. We cut oak for 18" length and split to 4 to 8 inch pieces and could fill it at 9 in the evening, set the thermostat in the middle and it would heat till 8 in the morning with hot coals left in the bottom. It wasn't pretty to look at and I haven't seen anything like it since. (Low humidity messed with our sinuses so we kept a pan of water on it to get the humidity up into the 30% range) Our current house has a fireplace catalytic combustor insert in it, and it too heats really well, but have a gas furnace too, but we prefer to use wood until it gets in the teens at night.
Very cool.....love hearing these stories my friend
You might want to put drapes up to your windows. That will make a big difference.
Mornin 🖐😎👍
Thanks for the review Jay ! You do have a very good stove, Right who wants to get up at night to put wood in so you can get up warm in the morning, Good stove & how you fill it ! You have it burning hot enough it don't suit up the pipe 👍
Thank you my friend. 😊
Woot woot! Member perks!
Woot woot buddy
I loved having a wood stove, but we are up in age now and can't do it. Always good to have water on top to add humidity.
So true!
Great video Jay. Coming from Northern N Y and being a hunter we had a great old wood stove that heated our hunting camp. Great to cook on as well.
Awesome stuff Larry, best wishes my friend
@@OffgridwithJayandJen Thanks pal.
Jay. I'm in NY and have heated with wood for 37 of my 38 yrs on earth. Right now my single wall pipe (4in off the stove) is 100*. Its 50* outside and 73* inside. I have a vermont castings stove. It has a thermostatic damper and ash pan. Both things that make living with a wood stove way easier.
Very nice......this stove has some type of inlet on the side and back as well.....I have never researched into how it functions.
Hey Jay, I had one identical to that one. I got very lucky with mine it was in mint condition. Only paid $200 for it. The very old couple that had it before me. The husband had alzeimers and was building a fire in the living room floor middle of the night. So the wife said, time to sell it!! I asked how much she said they pain $3800 for it 35 years ago. This was 20 years ago when. I got it. I finally so it f9r $600 after using it for all those years. It heated my 2000 Sq ft. House with no problems. She asked if I would give her $200 for it. Absolutely will ma'am!! The end
Very nice......good old stove and great story my friend.....and a great deal 👍
drying rack above, i seen them in trapper cabins
Nice
I have always heard it pronounced Harth, like art or author, that said, I bought my wood stove also with a glass, but it has a crack, I looked into a new glass, and it was almost twice what I give for the stove, which was $75! I also used porcilen (sp) for the floor and for the wall, no air gap though, but like you said, it gets warm, but not hot. I don't live off grid, but use it because of cost of electric, or heating fuels, wood works best, except when it's not too cold. So I will use it if it's below 42* or so, yes, it gets too hot in here sometimes, esp during the day, but I just open windows or the door to cool it down. I know that I will never get cold! The draw back for my stove is it will only take a 14" piece, and if I have to buy, it's difficult to find any cut that length, most are 16-20" stock.
All good info....thanks for sharing it Chip. 👍
I use to cook on wood
Good video. I was wondering about your water needs during the winter... I'm assuming the subfloor of your cabin is insulated... If there was an insulated skirt around the perimeter (to ground) of your cabin, I wonder if there would be enough heat transfer to below the floor level to where you could have a water supply line coming up without it freezing, as long as the cabin was kept warm with the stove every day?
We have started the skirting process and had the water running in the cabin in all but January and February. It is too cold for the way I have it set up, to stay running year around, but it works well most the year
Sounds like that pipe gets really hot have you seen how some people put copper tubing around it to circulate water and get hot water from it ?
I’m kind of a wood stove geek and burned many different types of stoves over many years and the best tip for anyone is to burn dry wood under 20% moisture content. Especially with the newer EPA stoves. They are very draft sensitive and require dry wood to burn clean. That’s a nice Classic stove you guys have there, glad it’s working out. Usually when they’re that old they require rebuilds. How does your baffle look?
Great point.....I have a longer more detailed wood stove video in the works....but I'm having trouble finishing it. The inside of the stove is in decent shape....but the door or internal damper flap is a bit warped......it makes it imbalanced and hard to leave in the open position
You may be able to find some parts for that stove at Woodman’s Parts Plus
👍
Love a good wood stove! How do you have your kitchen cook stove set up? Is it propane? Is propane tank on the other side?
Yes the old cook stove it propane. We have a large 100 pound tank outside the cabin. 100 pounds of propane lasts us years of cooking.
You would be wise to build a stone surround behind the stove and toss that metal. Stones or brick much better for heat distribution.
That's kind of the point of the soap stone stove.....but I know what you're saying, best wishes
oops guess drapes arent going up. lvu ❤❤
You're saying hearth like "her" and I'm pretty sure it's hearth like "har". But I'm not going to say anything about it because that would be nitpicking. Maybe it's a regional thing. We talk good here in Colorado. 😂
We talk the way the rest of the people talk in the state we live in. HEARTH is fine. Har is lol.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
How much wood have u burn so far ? Its been a warm winter ...im from Michigan too
I think we have only used about 5 face cords....maybe 6. But we were gone a bit in February and it has been mild....like you said. 😊
only have to worry about sasquatch looking in your windows Cheers
😀😀😀
I don't know, but you might have to worry about peeping owls!
FORTY YEARS OLD.......lol.... we all have a saggy door after forty😀😀😀
That is great....love it.
Can you burn coal in your stove?
This model said it was capable of burning coal....yes

The center of your interior 90 degree stove pipe elbow is far too low and does not meet fire code. If your homeowners insurance company finds out you will have to tear it all out and re-install to code. You should not be showing this video with improper code violation as that is dangerous and illegal install!
Completely untrue
