The snow build up on your roof is a testament to the quality of your insulation also. Nice remodel. Thanks for the mini wood stove review
Chain saw cabinet Shop Thanks!
Thank you both for sharing this video...
Since it's been over 5 years... What do you think of the tiny stove now?
We love it! It still works great :)
@@loveinatincanclintericka
Good to know...
Thank you...
What I learned with my wood stove similar to what y'all have but bigger, as long as y'all use really dry wood with no bark on the wood y'all will have very little Ash to clean out. I learned that the bark is what makes the biggest majority of the ash. I just came across your house video and really enjoyed it. Keep up with the blessings of each other!
You two are adorable! Thank you for the stove link. Best price and choices on the web!!
No problem and thanks!
Just installed my Cub today. Put in the chimney tomorrow. Will see how she does. It's late October here in northern Alberta and already below 0c. -7c right now. It will get down to -20c to -40c later in the winter. That's when I will really see how the Cub does.
Hi guys, coming from Germany. Just ordered the cub, can't wait to get it... ;)
You're suuuper cute in this video. I think I'll put a vid on too, when I installed this little piece of happiness, Yeah!
Awesome! Glad to hear it. And thank you! ❤️😊
Thanks for posting. I just got a cubic cub for my van build! Dry heat in winter can't be beat!
Absolutely agree! Nothing like it
Omg cute, a piece conversation, and Great concept guys because if anything goes wrong electric/propane regulator, you have a back up. I'll email you on diy installing it like you did.
just clicked on then was gonna comment , but saw i was beaten to it, you lucky bloke,,,yur girl is beautiful and has amazing skin and wot a smile be happy and again i go away envious
Well done, the picture of outside really show how good the sttove is. double chimmney might rid creosote.
+Seven Sevens Thanks! Yes we're looking into getting a double walled pipe. 👍
Have you two seen the fan that works on heat ? it spreads the heat out to all of the trailer ..The pro of that is you can set your stove to burn slower and have the heat in the area your sleeping in by pointing the fan that way
+freakyflow Yeah. 👍 That's a great feature. We use a hanging fan that works pretty well in spreading out the heat.
Y'all are so cute together! Thanks for the info. I enjoyed your video and bloopers.
Thank you!
Hello folks. I am considering a Cubic Mini in my fifth wheel, and I have a question that perhaps you could answer for me. I’m curious ... if I turn on my bathroom exhaust fan during a shower, will it pull smoke or even flames out of the vent holes in the stove? I’ve got a Maxx Air Fan, and it pulls quite a bit of air when it’s on. Thank you for the great video.
I'm not them, but... No it won't pull smoke from the stove and certainly not flames. The stove fire does need oxygen to burn however, so if you are showering, I would crack a window somewhere near the stove to make sure there is enough air so that the fire does not go out. Kevin in Montana
Thanks Kevin. I understand that a wood burner will void my insurance, and seeing as I live in my rig, I want to as cautious as possible. The Canadian winters and the cost of propane are hard on the pocket book. As soon as I get over the fear of cutting holes in my roof, I’m ordering a stove. Cheers from Salt Spring Island!
Thanks for the upload!! Any chance of a run through of the heat shield,stove stand and clearances? Is there wood paneling behind the heat shield? Thank you! Love the tiny home!!!
+VAN SOLO Yeah we can work on that. 👍 They do have the specs on the website but we'd be happy to do a video on it.
The nicce thing about this kinda stove is if you scrounge alot of free wood that needs little processing yo save money.
+Scott Foster yup!
Big one time investment but compared to electric cost, and the pain that comes with installing enough electric to power a full heater, you save tons
She's cute.
Warm and cozy . Smart idea.
Great video guys! I was wondering how did you drill the hole into your trailer for flue? Thanks!
Also you can look up if you haven't already the BTU's output of each type of wood burned. It's pretty interesting!
I would suggest that you use the hardest wood that is in your area. The denser the wood, the hot it will burn to help minimize the creosote. You may even get longer burn times as well.
I’ve seen some other people on RUclips with those small stoves using compacted hardwood man made logs overnight as they burn a lot slower
@@Kergorn1 those logs are great too but in a confined space will take up lot needed space.
The. Those people where cutting those logs in half to use in the mini stove
I'm interested in the mini stove, what type of vent cap are you using and what clearance is it ? Do you remove it and cap the flu pipe before moving the airstream ? Thanks for your time
Hi there ! Love the video wondering if you guys need to have any air coming into the camper for oxogen feeding the fire
I will answer for them. I just got the grizzly stove
and they have an optional 2in outside air source.
it would be safer , and make the stove preform better.
dry heat is a huge Pro
How do you clean it? Could you make a video of that part please. Glad it working for you.
+Gail Tilmont Thanks! We use a wire brush and clean out the creosote build up. We usually detach the pipe from the stove since it's only about 4 ft of pipe. Nothing too complicated.
do you think you may upgrade to the next size up, to the Grizzly wood stove?
+Lazy Lee Oni-Synn Yeah we would. We love the stove but we think with the larger size we wouldn't have to stoke the fire as often as we do
I just bought a cub stove and am going to install it in my vw bus! I was wondering what kind of flue pipe you guys used? the support people at cubic stoves wouldn't recommend any pipe besides theres and they have no 45 or 90 degree elbows so it'd be incredibly helpful to know what you guys use!
+Caleb Can Sure 👍 We just used 3 inch galvanized flue pipe which works fine for us. It's recommended to used the double wall insulated pipe which Home Depot has the 3" insulated pellet stove pipe but they come in set lengths so you'd have to figure out what you need. Home Depot will have the angle pieces too.
We just picked up a 1979 Airstream Sovereign 31'. Would you recommend the Mini or the Grizzly? We are in Northern Wisconsin so it gets cold. Thanks
+rmojo23 Definitely the Grizzly. It's larger so it will put out more BTUs and theoretically the burn will last longer. 👍 We'd like to upgrade to that next.
Looking for reviews on stove. Found your channel. Subscribing. I follow three other rv type dewellers. I live in stationary fifth wheel. Good review. I'm sold on grizzly. Y o u are both adorable.
+Victoria Walden Thank you! We love it.
what type of propane heater do you use
Awesome. Love your airstream. I have a grizzly one. so a little larger and love it.
+Gordon Kinslow Awesome! We'd eventually like to get the grizzly for longer burn time.
@@loveinatincanclintericka it’s actually really disappointing, I wouldn’t. Not long burn time at all w Grizzly.
Does your mini stove have the option to draw fresh air from the underside/outside of the Airstream or are you stuck drawing air from only the interior? I'm just worried about low oxygen levels from sucking too much fresh air inside?
I have the slightly larger grizzly cubic mini . I burn pressed logs about 12 inches long that I cut in have .Fat wood to start the fire. 80 plus degrees is no problem which gets to warm so I have to turn down the air vent. I cut down my propane from five a month to one by heating with pressed logs plus no condensation that propane has (water ). The logs burn all night.
Wow. What a beautiful woman.
+orver1 Thank you!
Lucky man.
Love your video. Do you have thermal window coverings? Also, I saw where you could make long lasting fire logs put of paper and water on RUclips.
Great simple vid!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 You two are cute 😍😍
+Agent Starling Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. You answered all my questions.
Wow! Great video! Thank you
Sounds like the ultimate ice shack heater. Burn blow down, brush, whatever.
It seems to me that it would be a good thing if some bright soul figured out how to "co-fuel" the mini-stove with propane. Use the propane alone or as supplement to wood fuel. Helpful if the wood is a bit damp, or during the night when you don't want the maintenance of stoking the fire. I also wonder if occasionally running with propane only would clear out or help to clear out the creosote.
As far as code enforcement you can't have two different fuels exhausted out of same flue.
Hot water bottle for night. Thanks for the video. You guys and your house is cute. Your head bump at the beginning of the video was so loving and romantic
Aw thank you, that’s so sweet 😊🧡
Get some good solid wood for night time then throw it in and turn the stove down so it burns all night.
Can you guys tell us more about your propane setup? I have the Grizzly in my camper (I’m a full timer), and I only get a three hour max burn, and also I’m finding I won’t get any rest if I just counted on this stove. A big bummer so I’ll be looking at other options. Thank you!
Yeah we love the wood stove but we’re happy we have to propane for nighttime. It’s just a propane stove we got off of Amazon. Here’s a similar one- www.amazon.com/Mr-Heater-Flame-Natural-MHVFB30NGT/dp/B01DPZ56OG/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?crid=1JX6EH3H80JYU&keywords=propane+heater&qid=1640219255&sprefix=propna%2Caps%2C53&sr=8-13
Hey guys, just wondering where you sourced the exit flu and chimney cap for your stove?! Thanks
+ali-ray johnson Hey there! We got our pipe from Home Depot, but it's recommended to get a double wall galvanized stainless steel pipe. And the cap, We used a Decktite pipe flashing that you can cut to size, #3 I think. And the cap was just a regular old cap you can also get from Home Depot.
Love in a Tin Can beautiful thanks! And what do you do chimney cap wise when it's raining or snowing. My partner and I just purchased the cubic mini for our Ford ecolinecampervan and are working out logistics!
I see that you have elbows in your stack. How does that configuration perform in terms of draft? I have just received my grizzly and was planning on using elbows, but the company discourages it and they are not available to talk to right now.
The elbow seem to work just fine. They did however create additional creosote buildup which was OK for me because I cleaned it out once a month anyway.
You surely are a beautiful couple! ❤️👍
Aw thank you so much!
Just have one question. How long does the stove stay hot after the fire dies down. I mean it should radiate heat for a good while after the flames are out and have you experimented with damping it down so it burns at much lower level, is that possible? Thanks
Dampening the heat down works very well with the grizzly, the cub had trouble keeping up with our heat demands so it had to stay mostly open which meant it would burn out in about two hours and radiate heat for another hour. The grizzly I can dampen it down and keep it going all night till I get up in the morning
Love your little stove just what I'm looking for what price was it ? Is only USA based company l'm in the UK
Any advice ? Richard
Hey there! We paid about $500 for the Grizzly stove 😁 cubicminiwoodstoves.com
You guys are adorable!
Thank you!! 🧡
I like your review ! 👍
Thanks!
Free wood is available if you go in to a industrial area you can usually pick up hardwood pallets for free most people will give them away just to get rid of them. one word of caution not to burn treated pallets which usually have paint on them. I would pick up a cordless skill-saw and just pick up a magnet and sift threw the ashes to remove the nails. Good for you people save money...
+Marc A Gagnon Thank you for that!
Isn’t the wood stove more of a dry heat in comparison to the propane? I think I’ve read that somewhere. And moisture is a big enemy in such a small space.
X Tree True. It's a good balance though with both the dry heat from the stove and moisture from the propane heater. If we are mostly using the wood stove, we'll put a small pot of water on top of it to add moisture back into the air but honestly we don't have too many problems with condensation. It's mostly on the windows if it happens.
Hi Guys You mentioned the cleaning once a month...how long is that process? Thx
The cleaning only takes about 15 minutes. We recently updated our flue pipe to a double wall flue pipe and took out the elbow and made it a straight run. That should cut down on creosote buildup a lot but I still plan to clean it once a month.
Did you hand make those heat shields? Could you give me specs on the type of metal and thickness? I'm wondering if I can just bend aluminium?
We got our heat shield straight from the site Cubic Mimi along with the stove but the first one we did was homemade from galvanized sheet metal with an inch air gap in the back. But the one we bought looks way better. cubicminiwoodstoves.com
What a beautiful lady...You should get a self powered fan to help circulate the air around the camper...and don't forget to keep a pot of water on the stove. Creosote should not be a problem if you fire up the stove and then leave the door cracked open and let the fire roar for a while... Creosote comes from wood that has not been dried thoroughly or properly. If your wood hasn't been seasoned for 2 years then you should cut it into small lengths and burn it without damping down the draught.
Thank you for that! 👍
When the stove is not in use, does it ever Backdraft and fill your living space with the smell of burnt wood?
We haven’t experienced that.
What did you use for heat shield and where did you get it
We got it from the cubic mini site along with the stove :) cubicminiwoodstoves.com
ahh you two are freakin adorable! thanks for the info. where do you usually get your wood blocks from?
Aw thanks! We get a lot donated to us from a local tree-cutting company. Then we cut the pieces smaller to fit into our stove.
could you tell me what type of elbow you used?
I was going to get one of them. but I'm going to go a bit bigger so I don't have to get up and load it over and over at night.. I need one that can burn for 6 -8 hours, so I can get sleep..
+Panel Van Dan Yeah, we agree that would be ideal. This company sells a bigger model that we'd like to upgrade to in the future for a longer burn time. 👍
Love in a Tin Can yea I had a minny on order called to check on it 3 days before it was to be shipped and was told my order wouldn't be ready to ship for another 3 weeks. so I got my $ back as winter was already here and my Mr buddy heater was making to much moisture in my old bus and not really doing the job.. and I needed a wood stove asap. peace!
Hello, I am sorry that was your experience. It must have been around Christmas time as we were extremely busy and our lead time was very long. Now our lead time has been reduced and we can ship in just about a week. If you still would like to get one, you can e-mail us at cubicminiwoodstoves@gmail.com and I would be glad to help you out for your troubles you had with us in the past. Thank you
Cubic mini wood stove it's ok I understand, and it was just before x-mas. I don't hold it against ya all.. I understand your a small company that had a explosion of businesses and overwhelmed ya all.. what stove do you have that will burn for 6-8 hours? as I have about 160 square ft to heat and I'd like to get a minimum of 5 hours of sleep.
Hello, thank you for understanding. Our Grizzly would be best to heat your space and to have the longest burn time possible. With a small fire box like ours you can expect a burn ( solid flames) for 1-2 hours. With residual embers burning for several hours after that. The stove is 34 LBS and with such a mass of steel, it radiates heat for quite a while. But I would not expect a full burn over night, it would last about 6 hours. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Thank you
Very nice. I would ditch the propane and just use an electric blanket on bed for sleeping. They use hardly any electricity. Maybe 40 watts or something like that.
Thanks for this you two
Thanks. Cute couple. Love is Love. Your chemistry seems wonderful. 😁😘
Aw thank you 💕
Looking to use a cubic mini in our FedEx Stepvan conversion, but we are still trying to decide whether the cub or grizzly. Could you tell us how long you can keep the fire going, while maintaining reasonable heat output?
In case you are interested in our conversion project, we are under live_uthing on Instagram and currently touring the south west US. Cheers.
Yeah we’ll check you out on IG. 👍 We have the cub, so while we’re home using it, our burns last for 1-2 hours without any stoking. That’s with the air intake fully open. When we have it on low air intake, it can last around 4 hours. In your small van, I think either stove would be fantastic.
Love in a Tin Can Thanks for the feedback, that really helps a lot. I think we will go with the Grizzly to stretch the burn time as much as we can overnight. Cheers, oh and you guys are lovely.
I love your home.
+Davie Henry Thank you 😊
Maintenance is #1 above all...with a magnetic temperature gauge on the flue pipe gives you the best operational
temps. above 200 deg is best below, 125 more build up of contamination inside the pipe....above 200 the less and the safer....get a bigger stove, the larger logs you can burn, giving you more Zzzzzzzz time, if it gets too hot, just remove more clothes its that simple. 🤔
Would suck to have to chop the wood into such tiny pieces, though. Also, finding tiny matches and tiny newspapers to get the fire going is probably hard.
+Frank Burns lol

Hey there! Super happy I found your video. I've had SUCH a hard time finding people talking about their experience with a wood stove in genuinely cold weather in an Airstream. I see that your Airstream is somewhat custom. Do you think that someone would still be able to manage a reasonable temperature with the stock aluminum interior? And do you think that radiant heat is enough to keep the pipes/tanks from freezing? Thanks!
Hey Keelan, We will actually have another video coming up regarding the wood stove, you'll have to keep a lookout for it. I think it would be fine with the aluminum siding but you most definitely would need to make sure you have proper insulation. Its only about 1.5" insulation gap so i can only recommend closed cell spray foam... I wouldn't count on radiant heat keeping the tanks from freezing, I'm sure they sell something that can maintain the water temp above freezing. As far as the pipes as long as they aren't under the floor they should be fine and won't freeze. Sometimes we have to let the water drip when it gets very cold this time of year, any other questions please feel free ask.
Wow what a beautiful girl! Lucky guy!
How cold was it outside?
+The It was somewhere in the mid 20's
F or C?
I would assume F. Because if it was 74C inside, they would pretty much be on fire! :)
Do you have any carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide problems (these gasses are oderless and toxic)..
No, we have a detector for those.
try a double wall flue, doesnt build up soot so much,,,and a hunk or three of coal , for the overnight, it WILL last all night !
Thanks for the tip, what size coal do you use?
I lived in a TIPI in glenwood spgs colorado for 5 yrs with a stove the same size as the grizzly, (I stiil have it in the 36ft 5th wheel rv I live in now) with a 3" double wall flu, don't use the small 1/2-1 " blacksmith coal, its too small, I used 3 or 4--3"-5" chunks, I started them about 30 mins before bed with the air gaps open full, then barely open when retiring for the night, nice and toasty ALL night, in the am , I had a steel bucket with saw dust in it with DAMP not soaking kerosene in it, I would take a soup can full of this and throw it in the box with a little kindling and would be good to go ....hope this helps.
How long is your trailer
It’s a 31’
A rather lovely young lady. Ehem, my bad, I too have a tiny home and thanks a ton for the insight. Lucky dog:)
where do I buy one , how muc?
cubicminiwoodstoves.com is where we got ours. Right now it’s $600 but they often have sales.
I have a 28ft fth wheel with a big wood burner..I'm not fond of the cubic mini..too short burn times. But I live in Canada -35 ..even though cubic is being made in Quebec..it's a gimmick!!go big or go home..expecially if the woodstove is your only heat source. When it's cold you wanna be warm.
Yea we understand it’s not for everyone. Even though we use the stove often it’s not our only heat source. Pennsylvania winters get cold but not nearly as cold as yours! We definitely stand by the cubic mini though, we are never cold.
im kinda curious about the music artist? can anyone tell me who this is? blue wednesday crossed my minds
joedavaro Hey there, I think I used a Jeff Kaale song from SoundCloud but I don't remember the name of it. I'll try to get better with putting music in the info box!
Great Video....Thank you....:-)
hat state are ya's located in?
+Bob Shaw We're in Pennsylvania
Love you guys, you've done well. Take care always!
Thank you!!
Good info
Thank you!
Nice channel.
Thank you!
can you cook on it?
+Lost Caper We can fit a teeny tiny pot on it that is large enough to fit two eggs in it, but realistically no. It's very small and we just use that pot to put moisture into the air.
+Lost Caper Their company does have larger stoves though. We just bought the smallest one.
that settles it i'm getting a stove
Be sure to check out our other video and why we’ve since upgraded to the bigger model of this stove, which we love even more! 😍 m.ruclips.net/video/RdAg5p7szCQ/видео.html
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Hi guys, what a great video. We loved what you have done. May we post this to our Facebook page? Also we would like to speak with you off the comment page so if you could e-mail us at cubicminiwoodstoves@gmail.com that would be great. Thank you
Cubic mini wood stove Sure thing! Will do :)
you 2 are cute
+Dusty Fuller Aw thank you!
ya I agree. A beautiful couple. By the way most wood stoves if you put in a 16 inch stick it still burns down in two hours unless you put a really big pile of wood in it and some stoves don't burn very good if you fill it to full of wood.
Damn you two are cute! If you find a nice single guy on the road, lemme know haha
lol me too!!!! 😂
Some coal added before bed would keep it ticking over longer
I’m working with anthracite coal now, not having luck getting the airflow situation to work out..
