    The property is absolutely beautiful, and experiencing the progress has really inspired me to get an acreage. I love the whole process of making trails, managing the forest and stocking the winter firewood throughout the year. But I only have an acre, and there aren't enough trees to sustain me long term. So I'm shopping for acreage now, and I don't care if I have to buy a couple hours out of town to find something affordable.. in fact I'm starting to crave the peace and quiet that Post seems to enjoy so much.
    Awesome vids, thanks for the inspiration and knowledge 👍🏻

    You can clean the glass door of the stove with the Ash from the stove, just damp some paper towel and pick up some Ash and rub it into the glass door. Works a treat 👍

    You burn softwood during the day when you are around to keep refilling it because it burns faster. Then hardwood at night. Once a week or so open up the vents and damper and burn softwood as hot as possible. That will clean out the stove and stove pipe. Then always clean your stove pipe/chimney in the spring.
    . Also, keep a pan of water on the stove to help from dry air. You should open up the house once a week to let in fresh air. The fresh air heats up better.

    1:07:08 That is the best idea for sure. All the little critters and bugs need habitats too.
    The best wood to burn here where I live is the birch. It has the most high warm value and easy to get, it's every where. We also use Baltic pine (Pinus sylvestris) which is different than the pines in Maine. These pines are not full of sap but resin and it burns very nicely. We also use spruce but it cracks and pops a lot but with other logs one spruce log is ok.
    We season the wood a little differently here. The trees are usually cut in the summer when they have full foliage, that way the trunk begins to dry at once after it's cut because the leaf draw the moisture out. With birch you have to saw the bark cut all the way the trunk from down to up to prevent it to start rot instead of drying. The long trunks are let to dry a month or two and then they are cut and piled in the forest or transferred near the wood cabin and piled up outside there, covered with tarp and left like that for months. Usually in the middle of the winter, the logs that are in the forest are collected with a snowmobile with sleigh. The logs are chopped in the winter too because a log that is totally frozen (-20C) brakes the easiest, with a good chopping axe you really can chop even a very thick log, I can assure you. But we use the electric one of that chopping device that you have. After the chopping the wood is moved inside the wood cabin to season more and usually these are burned next winter. Sometimes the chopping is left to be done in the beginning of summer and then the wood is piled outside and let to dry more before moving them inside the wood cabin to safety from rain.
    I hope that mossy area lives next summer, it is so beautiful. If it is not so dry summer, it can survive. But if it is going to be drought and very sunny I'm afraid the moss won't like it.

    Hey post.
    Here's a trick I use to ensure draft/flow goes out.
    I close all the doors to the room I am in if possible, then I open a window, and then start my fire. I do put exactly like you did, small wood to start but I do put 2 to 4 balls of newspaper on top and light that as soon as I started the small wood below to get the heat/ draft to flow up and out of chimminey.
    Once the fire is going, I close my window and open my doors to my basement again.
    on nights where it's -30 or -40c...it takes alot more newspaper. I light it and again make sure window is open, and i tend to keep the fireplace door an inch open to make sure the heat forces the draft up and out while the cold air from thenopen window has the positive air pressure to to force it up and out.

    Fir has the highest BTU content per pound. Several
    Different fir sub species, some are in the 13,000-13,500 BTUs per pound.
    Hardwoods have highest BTU content per cord (volume). This is because hardwoods are denser.
    If buying wood by weight you would want to buy very dry fir. If buying by cord then best to buy hardwoods, (oak, locust, hickory etc) and if buying buy volume water content isn’t a concern, it will dry out, and volume is volume. Most hardwoods are below 10,000 BTUs per pound. Pines and firs have higher BTU per pound because of the resins in the wood. As long as your stove is efficient (yours is very efficient with the catalyst) fir is best, pine is second, and hardwoods are third in BTU content per pound.

    This was a wealth of information for me. We are in the process of buying a nice home on a few acres in a small town (population 900+ people) in a small town in California, USA. We are tired of living in the Silicon Valley and ready for change. My wife and I both work from home. I have researched internet providers so far we are leaning towards Star Link. I know their customer service is little to none but I am handy enough to put the Star Link gear together. (Connection is VIP)
    What I am uncertain of is Wood Stoves and Tree trimming and everything involved. There are several species of trees on our property. It is not a dense forest. It’s more of a park-like setting.
    The home comes with a wood stove, but we would like to upgrade it. The home is 1866 Sqft. I am still researching the size we will need. For now the wood stove will not be our main source of heat but it is nice to have during the evening and Winter months. There are plenty of options out there; that is how I found your channel (researching wood stoves) I am grateful for the information you share. You are a good instructor. I can understand and follow along learning “something new”, for me.
    It is a different way of living I have longed for. I was born in a small country town in California but raised in both Bay Areas (East and South) aka the Silicon Valley in California / suburban life.
    You have a nice forest and it looks like your plate is full. It would help if you had some eager young helpers to help you. I wonder if there’s some kind of Forest or Fireman training school where you could find some volunteers? That would be helpful. Or barter work for firewood? It’s just an idea.
    You have done a great job with all your hard work but it’s a lot for just one man to do alone. I am a new subber. Thanks again man, I appreciate you.
    Angel from The Bay (excited about our new journey/Rural living)

    Great video. I love learning from those who have done it. Hint : Try the "top-down" method of starting a fire. RUclips has several good vids on how to do that so I won't go into it. Why it's so great is that it's just as easy to get set up and light but the PLUS is that you light it and forget it for 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours before ever having to look at it again. No forgetting and then having to re-start with paper and kindling 'cause you "got busy" doing another chore.

Your right saying its a benefit because you should never split logs on a concrete floor with an axe because over time you will crack your floor with the impacts. You can go outside to do it but inside with the pump is the cats ass. I have the jotul f3 non cat and love it. The Jotul with the screen is something I'm very very happy with.

  • @JTThumpington

    Really great video, thank you. 😊 Regarding your stovetop fan, it uses a Peltier to convert the heat into electricity for the motor driving the fan. If you put the base of it on a flat part of the stovetop, rather than on the ridged part of the top, the heat transfer will be much improved and the fan will start sooner and run faster. Ecofan is a good brand and that's why it cost what it did. The wiring in the cheapo Amazon ones tend to melt eventually.

    Just going to watch your video for a short time
    I have a blaze king ultra
    And had it in my house for over 20 years or close to that.
    And I burn everything in it
    And yes i burn plastics too,
    but not with that catalytic on,
    And my cat is still going strong,
    i clean my chimney when ever the chimney needs it
    How do I know it needs cleaning
    open the stove slowly when using it
    And if it doesn't draft properly,
    You will have some smoke in the house
    Clan it with a metal brush, and only have a chimney with stainless steel.
    And here's a clue to help with smoke.
    Near the stove and near the top of the ceiling
    Place a fan to suck out the smoke
    And use it every time you open the stove
    And it's been many years since i did that
    Still my paint looks fairly normal, and not darkened as most houses with wood stoves,
    It also allows the house to not smell with the wood smell of smoke etc.
    Burn any and all woods, as it doesn't matter,
    Just make sure the wood is reasonably dry.
    Oh yes I have forgotten about that clean out
    As I never use it
    got a coal bucket and place the edge along the door opening, and shovel,

    Some people are correct about the ax. A fiskars X25 or X27 would cut your splitting time by more than half after whatever learning curve you need to go through. Yes, it’s probably more dangerous but if you become proficient with that ax, a cord of straight grained oak in an hour is completely possible. Pine usually takes a little longer but not much. You could save the hydro tool for gnarly stuff. I definitely recommend you try the ax.

    Alaska by La Nordica has a large oven and wood box, you can use a wok & has the stove pipe in middle that helps prevent creosote by higher heat.
    If steel costs goes back could help cost. Cannot believe installation is so expensive, might as well build a cook fireplace for dutch oven baking and spit for roasting with a particle filter system in chimney. Think you could do a smoker grill in it too, keep it safe indoors while slow cooking. ❤❄🍵

    It’s good practice to leave an inch of ash in the bottom of the stove when you clean it out. The ash protects your fire brick from the hot coals of your next fire. Not a huge deal but you’ll experience deterioration/thinning of your fire brick after a few years.

    You certainly have an abundance of wood.
    I have one of those electric 4 ton splitter. Homelite. Some 2 ft diameter logs need to be worked around the edges, splitting off pieces before the core gives way.
    My inclination is to get anything at least split once to start the drying in the core.
    Maybe place a metal panel between the burning junk and a drying pile, accelerate the Dry.

    I look forward to your seasonal game plan/estimates on cord wood and measurements you may have taken on how the stove impacted the rest of the home. I hate winter...but I LOVE burning and cooking on my wood stove. I am shopping for a new one as mine is 10+ years old and it was a Vogelzang hunk of poop.
    Need one for my workshop as well as my house. Debating on BK 40 for shop and Lopi Liberty for house.

      My lopi evergreen is amazing. Only one problem with the handle getting loose, but it still latches tightly, I tested it with a piece of paper. It's overkill for our cabin but we like it extras toasty in the winter, I hate the cold.

    A quick and cheap solution to clean the black glass door on the stove is to dip a wet paper towel in the ash and then scrub the glass. Wait and let the ash work and it will be even easier to get the glass clean.

    @24:24 you can fans like that, that mount to the pipe. Pipe gets hot fast, so fan starts up much sooner.

    Rounds need to be split before seasoning begins. They don't dry out on the inside, just the ends.

    Hi, At 59:20 there is a hand pump well head or whatever you call it. It looks like a hose can attach to it. What type make is it? The pumps I have seen all have a mini trough and I can't connect it to a tank or anything to fill. Also many only lift so many feet. thanks.

    • @post10Vlogs

      I bought this on eBay and the end of that is not threaded so you cannot put a hose on it and you also cannot add threads because the back of it is open like a normal hand pump well so it could not pressurize, it's just a different design same as the mini trough ones but I have a system on one of my hand pump Wells with gravity PVC pipes down to the garden maybe something like that would work for you if you have a hill you could put the tank below it. They also do make ones instead of a hand pump it's more of a crank and you can put a normal garden hose on it

    Do the directions say to keep the door open so long? With my stove, I close the door as soon as the kindling has ignited and the fire builds up much faster than yours does. Also, put the heat control on high when lighting the fire.

    Open the damper/bypass when you are removing the ash. You will get a lot less of it floating around the room.

    How about the stove pipe with Pine? Wouldn't pine require you to sweep the stove pipe more often due to that creosote?

    Love your videos but just not too shuer about catalyst price…….. just replaced mine for the 2nd time on my blaze king 1st was on warranty but they refused the second one and charged me 600$ cad !!!!! But still a great stove with a big learning curve

  • @mststgt

    I can see from the inside of the oven and the glass in the door that you are creating a lot of that dangerous, shiny creosote. Foremost, try lighting the oven upside down: Put the biggest logs in first and the smaller branches on top. You'll see that at the point the big logs start to burn, the oven is hot enough that the creosote does not condense any more. By using this method, the glass in the door should stay mostly clean, which also helps with radiating the heat in the room and far less of that shiny creosote should be found in the oven and the chimney.

    Some reflective surface behind the stove..
    Otherwise your stovepipe seems the only loss of heat...

    when your not using a Cat. wood stove is it better to store it so the air that gets sucked up and out the stove with all the dust goes up the pipe and not trough the cat?
