    Fantastic job...teamwork. It's so cozy I can almost feel the warmth of cuddling with Lando by the stove and reading a book or watching an ol' black and white western. Yes, you do have much to be grateful for and it's inspiring that you recognize your blessings. You have been raised well my friend.

    Ohhh that is so nice, with the stove in and fire going, it looks so cozy and homey! I hope you stay there, make that your little home, fix it up just for you, and enjoy cabin/home life. What a wonderful place to be, I hope you realize just how lucky you are to have that. I look forward to many more videos of you at your little cabin....and maybe you cooking up some yummy meals.

    Wonderful video and it’s heartwarming watching you complete that firebox and get heat back as you have done such a fantastic job of it. I love your GSP as we have just lost one identical to yours at only 9years and lots of tears were shed as they are such beautiful dogs.

    • @danvanstralen
      @danvanstralen  5 месяцев назад +1

    Hi Dan, get yourself a nice old kettle to keep on top of the stove to boil water. It’ll put moisture in the air as well as hot water for tea,coffee and hot chocolate, oh, soup too. Great job! Someone else mentioned adding a flew dampener on the pipe. You will be able to regulate the fire so as to save wood and adjust temperature.

  • @kathyhensarling2537
    @kathyhensarling2537 5 месяцев назад +2

    Dan,in addition now you can cook on top of the stove. Placing a window with a screen would be nice to help cool the cabin in the summer months. Work is never done, nice job. Love to Lando

  • @farrellford9579
    @farrellford9579 5 месяцев назад

    You need a damper to retain heat in the stove. It will keep the heat from going up and out of the chimney.

    I gather you cook on open fires or go to your parents for meals. Do you have a bathroom in your little cabin?? I love your videos; am a new subscriber so still catching up on past videos. Thanks for your good work on them.. Im from the southern USA.

    • @danvanstralen
      @danvanstralen  5 месяцев назад

      I enjoy a lot of my mothers meals with the family but also do a lot of my own cooking on an open fire as well as a little two burner stove in my cabin. Right now I don’t have my own bathroom in the cabin but rely on an outhouse not to far from my cabin. 👍🏻

  • @bettybanks9963
    @bettybanks9963 5 месяцев назад

    I don’t know a lot about wood stoves, but the few I’ve used all had a damper in the pipe above the stove. It was pretty important to either close or turn the damper way down or it got much too hot during the night (& it caused the wood to burn longer). Why does yours not have a damper or is there a different method for controlling the oxygen flow on your stove?

    • @Discovery_Overland
      @Discovery_Overland 5 месяцев назад

      Dan…you’re very committed. Years ago people did a lot of different things when installing stoves and chimneys with varying degrees of success. The codes were much different 50-75 years ago. One thing learned over the years was that the surrounding wood near a stove and pipe may not catch fire but over the years the constant heating of that wood lowered the temperature that the surrounding wood could become ignited by heat. I believe US, and probably Canada, codes ask that insulated pipe be used when passing through walls. The pipe never gets hot. Great stuff. And if you can go straight up that’s a plus. In 25 years I have never had a draft issue. It would be a great eventual upgrade.

    Good job on the stove pipe, buddy and the stove. Lando looks like he really enjoys it. behind the stove I would actually put a sheet metal kind of like I cut out that moose and the bears that I sent you guys they come in by 3‘ x 4‘ then just slap one of those behind it. I actually have a couple of those that I put behind my grinding stand in the workshop so no sparks will get to the wood walls, You can pick them up at Home Depot ok 👌🏼🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

    I love that you have the confidence to tackle a new job. I don’t know any more than you do about chimneys but I do have a question for you. Your one elbow pipe looks like it’s corrugated. I suspect if it’s like that on the inside that it will be a place where soot and creosote will collect on you. Is it possible or even necessary to switch it out for a smooth elbow pipe? I’m curious.

It made me Smile So big for you! We not an easy task! So proud of you, Dan. I have been a family fan for a long time know . I really enjoy watching you grow In your faith,knowledge of the great outdoors and adult hood May you be Blessed in all your ways🙏

  • @wobdeehomestead
    @wobdeehomestead 5 месяцев назад +1

    Nothing feels better than wood heat! In the future I would look into a proper install of your chimney. That single wall pipe won’t last outside and requires 18” clearance to combustibles. I’d look into some Class A chimney pipe and go straight up through the roof with a support box and flashing. It will draft much better and also be safe.

  • @MichelleOhio
    @MichelleOhio 5 месяцев назад +1

    Nice job, Dan! I would have to clean off the stove window with a razor blade, add a damper, screw those joints together and maybe add fire board if the wood behind gets too hot. Perfect 🔥

    • @danvanstralen
      @danvanstralen  5 месяцев назад +2

      That’s a good idea I’ll definitely add some sort of fire board soon!

  • @kevinferger9897
    @kevinferger9897 5 месяцев назад

    As someone else commented, I believe the pipe is backwards. Smoke will leak at the joints. There should be a adapter flange at the stove to the pipe. You noticed when you took the top of the chimney off it was on the outside of the pipe. You put it on the inside of the pipe. Each pipe section should go over each other going up. It also will leak water down the pipe. It's kind of dangerous the way you have it. I'd keep a co2 detector handy while you are sleeping.
