Installing a New Wood Stove in my Off Grid Wood Carving and Archery Workshop

  • I make a brick and stone backsplash and hearth for a new woodstove to safely heat my off grid workshop. I also finally seal the exterior of my timber workshop and clad the interior wall of the addition with tongue and groove pine and cedar. With a dry space to work on archery equipment, I prepare my bows and arrows for the upcoming moose and deer seasons.

    Hi, I'm Shawn James. I am a passionate outdoorsman living the life of my dreams in a log cabin that I built by myself in the Canadian wilderness. Join me and my golden retriever, Cali and listen to the sounds of the forest in this relaxing wilderness setting. I prefer to keep my talking to a minimum and let the natural sounds of nature make you feel as though you are there with me.

    I have the same wood stove in my hunting cabin. I did a mod to it to keep smoke from rolling out of the door when you feed it by installing a sheet metal flap on hinges just inside the door. You push wood in and the flap moves then drops back down to block any smoke. Also reversed the damper so it actually works instead of being too closed off.

    Great work Shawn! Be careful with that little stove when you put wood in it, I have one and put a piece of wood through the Ceramic that recirculates the smoke to the pipe and once you get a hole in it the ceramic starts to fall apart. About $80 US for a new ceramic.

    Another great video! You have the magic formula - self-reliance, self-sufficiency, public personality, a wide variety of skills, top of the lime videographer and editor.
    The setup you do for each video segment is amazing. I can only imagine the total time and effort it takes to do a 30 minute video. I suspect you have at least 6-8 hrs of effort invested in each 30 minute segment, if not more. But, you seem to be a natural to just include the video capture as part of your normal work routine and then take the necessary time to do a very professional edit. I only hope that you can keep up the pace for the next several years so we can all continue to enjoy your contributions.
    You are the next generation of Richard Proenneke using the latest technology and techniques to educate, inform and educate. What a legacy you are leaving.
    Thanks for coming into our homes and sharing your life’s journey. Bravo!!!

    This set up will probably work OK, but it is safer to spend a little more and use real "fire brick" which is usually yellow, and real "refractory cement." They can handle more heat without getting the place burned down. Also they don't aborb moisture which can turn to steam under heat and blow up in your face. It is very dangerous to do welding on concrete, because it can contain surprising amounts of molecular moisture that turns to steam and can violently explode like shrapnel without warning.

    • @beefchicken
      @beefchicken 6 часов назад +3

      It’s completely unnecessary and absolute overkill to use firebrick and refractory cement for a hearth. His brick veneer hearth will be just fine. Firebrick and refractory cement are used where there is direct contact with flames. His cast iron stove most likely has a firebrick lining, that’s where fire bricks are needed.

    • @jackieow
      @jackieow 18 минут назад

      @@beefchicken Yes, if all goes as expected. Accidents happen in case of the unexpected, like a kid messing around with the set up and spilling out hot embers. Or a senile visitor fifteen years from now who doesn't pay attention to what they are doing. It's like seat belts. When you need one you need one, and if it isn't already in place the deficiency can get a person killed. Same with fire safety. Overkill in the beneficial direction can make a big positive difference. Fire kills. So does freezng to death out in the middle of nowhere if your cabin burns down and the blizzard windchill is minus sixty degrees and all you have is your longjohns and no cell phone.
