    Man, that area you built with the chair and stove is perfect! What a great place to hang out next to the stove and watch the snowfall outside.

    I LOVE your little fireside nook! When you clean out the fire box, don't remove all the ashes. Leaving just a little bit will help your fires. To clean the glass, dip a wet newspaper into the ashes and use that to scrub it. It works great and its free. Just some tricks I learned about woodstoves. Didn't know if you knew about them....disregard if you did, please. Can't wait to see your first camping video after the remodel!

    About eight years ago, I made a 30 caliber ammo can woodstove. It worked great. And then it began to burn out. I bought heavy iron and built one slightly larger than it was. I have two years on it now. A lot of my cooking is down on top of it. and most of my heating is from it. 3 inch pipe straight through the top. Don’t have to take the pipe down to clean it. Just run a chimney brush from the top down into the stove and pull it back up.

    I initially bought one, but just like when I was a little girl with my Barbie play kitchen. I soon discovered that you have to stay up all night just to keep it going. I upgraded to a bigger, better, more efficient fireplace that is designed for Rv’s/Truck Campers

    Congrats and welcome to the club! I use kitchen tongs to add wood and stoke my fire. Burn good dry hardwood and you'll get an over night burn barely. I'm gonna add a chimney damper to extend the burn times.

    What a sweet little fire, and great design with the rail balcony on top of it. It's kind of a shame you can't stare at the burning flames but it makes sense to turn the window to the front. All you need now Larry is some cosy slippers and glass of beer ! 🔥

    I have a glass front wood stove in my house and the best way to clean the glass is to wad up a page of newspaper wet it and dip in the ash and scrub the soot right off. You may have to dip the ash twice if the soot is bad.

    Larry, two things, first, do you have a carbon monoxide detector in your camper? And second, when the fire is burning inside the stove, maybe go outside of the camper and see if the smoke is actually coming out of the chimney above? It's just a thought.

  • @mtbettycrocker

  • @FarmerC.J.
    @FarmerC.J. 7 часов назад

    Larry, the chimney going through the cabinets and your roof needs to be within a box. That’s code. I’m sure you know this but wanted to share that with you!
    Also, the chimney pipe needs to clear 2’ clearance from the highest peak on your camper.
    Happy you have some off grid heat!
    Your heat nook looks so comfy!
    You can use a razor blade to clean your glass.
    Stay safe!❤️🙏🏻✝️

  • @txbronco6
    @txbronco6 7 часов назад +1

    Do you have any type of cover for the chimney for when you're driving so it doesn't blow down into the fireplace. I would think any ash in the fireplace will be all over the camper when you get where you're going.

  • @donnyrankin8330
    @donnyrankin8330 3 часа назад

    I'd upgrade to a little larger stove. Those small ones are junk. You can control the amount of wood you put in a larger stove. The small ones need lots of wood to be functional. I been burning wood for over 50 years and I like it hot. My house is always 85-90 all winter long.

    @calvarycustoms6681 9 часов назад +3

    Hey Larry, brother - this might be a dumb question, but can I ask you why you ran the chimney straight up through the top, rather’n putting a 90 inside the cabinet and running it out the side? Seems to me it’s less of a water intrusion issue on the side; plus your camper is already high, and now you’ve added the extra height of the chimney vent, to get caught on branches or whatever.

    • @worklessenjoylifemore
      @worklessenjoylifemore  9 часов назад +5

      @@calvarycustoms6681 cubic mini wood stoves are so small they have a tendency to back draft so the manufacturer has a warning on their webpage to only install ur chimney straight up and as short as possible to help prevent back draft. They don’t even sell anything but straight pipes and they make them so u can’t use any other types of pipe. Otherwise my original plan was to install the stove in the rear corner and just remove the rear window and have it go out the side.
