Welcome to our 30 day off-grid build for October of 2023! We’re assembling sustainable, affordable, off-grid systems to provide for the 5 basic physiological needs for 2-4 humans: Creative shelter, fresh water, green sanitation, clean energy, and local food are things that make the world truly better and more enjoyable. Beyond having fun building all of this and sharing it with you, one big goal for this project is to clearly illustrate how creative & sustainable solutions can solve our housing affordability crisis and free young people to avoid working paycheck to paycheck to survive in our modern economy. We need a fresh vision for living well! Many people are seeking a closer connection to nature, a slower pace of life, an affordable lifestyle, a sustainable lifestyle, and freedom from being indentured to our modern economic system. Mostly though, we just love building off-grid systems!
Special thanks to the Tiny Wood Stove Team!

We’re proud to to have partnerships and sponsorships with these innovative companies. We only use and promote products we truly believe in for off-grid living. These tools allow us to live more sustainably and affordably.
We want to reclaim our time, our health, and finances, and a sense of peace. We want to help you and millions of others do the same. This takes designing our lives to be more local, more sustainable, more affordable and generally more off-grid. We want to swim out of the mainstream, we want to opt-out, slow down, to live more simply and locally. We want to educate as many people as we can about this affordable and sustainable lifestyle of living well with decentralized, off-grid systems.
Nothing beats hands on experience, but for many, these ideas and practices may be first best introduced through a video game medium. That is why we are creating HomeFree! Follow this kickstarter project to help it come to life! 🕹️ 🧑🌾

Careful with that chimney, guys! The long horizontal component could mean it needs more regular cleaning to not get backed up.
Yes, it will. This was the first test for the draft. We’re going to work to shorten the horizontal and make a follow up video!
@@LandLabsyou’re not the actual channel
@@sirsanti8408I've reported them, and highly suggest everyone else do as well
Where's the free part?
chop up old furniture, get wood from forests
Hey guys! Speaking of batteries, have you guys experimented with heating earth or stone as a thermal mass that more slowly releases heat from the wood stove over time? Great series!!!
It’s on the roadmap!! Rocket mass heaters for the win :) And a WOFATI home. Both ideas Paul Wheaton champions
Thermal batteries are mass. Heat the mass, and the heat lasts all night!
Yeah! Make that weird space between the wall and the stove look great with some thermal mass! Aka stones
@@LandLabsyou’re not the official channel?
Log is free on which planet?
Earth! We get them from our property, but many people who don’t have their own land can get free wood if they clear people’s brush who need it done.
Well wood that is energy dense and seasoned (you need to season it so it smoke way less) cost good money/labour/storage but on other side it's good to have also this consideration.
Coal is also interesting source of heat but wrongly burn can turn street into great war trenches XD
I am soooo glad you did the first burn outside! I've seen so many creators skipping this step!
3:15 Joe looking like a catalogue model for winterwear
😂
Great video. The horizontal extension is trouble. It will need to be disassembled each year to clean and inspect. The vertical has a clean out but the build up in the horizontal will be a hazard If i may also offer, Durarock board behind or in place of the metal on the wall. A double layer will be fire proof and provides a heat battery to help the free wood fire when burned down, to release more heat through the night and into the cold mornings. Thanks for the great video and an idea for a video i need to do on the homestead furnace. Heat 3000 sqft with 4 logs all night. Tune in to check it out in a couple days 🤠
Thermal mass is key.
Another idea. Stones are free also. Stone is a thermal battery 🤠
Unfortunately, wood batteries take years and adequate land to make.
There's so much unused dead wood here in the USA. It's not going to work for everyone, but it's an option for many.
@@acornlandlabs Yep, hope to use it myself someday.
“Can’t you just trace it” 😂 6:20
Great video guys. I live in Orlando. It's 80 degrees today. A wood stove would be a novelty!
Hah! Now that’s a warm winter!! Our winters here in GA are pretty mild too.
We are planning on making a video about cheaper alternatives to AC soon! That one should be more relevant for individuals in climates like yours!
background track is extra chill this episode
Great video guys! Glad you were able to find a solution
To make a hole in any wall, drill the center through as the first step. Why didn't you guys move the horizontal bit further out to keep the stove where you wanted it? Or shorted it?
thank you guys ^^
Can’t really do this in my apartment, but I do look forward to having a wood stove in my future home.
Can y'all do that Abe Lincoln thing with your kids when it's all done, where you hold them upside down and have them make footprints walking along the ceiling?
Haha love it!! We may give that a go 😂
How feasible is it to use some of the residual heat that's in the smoke? For example to heat water for tea or showering?
I would guess not very feasible, As a general rule, gases are less dense than liquids so not efficient to transfer heat from gas -> liquid than liquid -> gas. But it can still be done. The other problem with your suggestion is that chimney exhaust needs to follow a direct route to outside so you can't really snake it for long distances in order to set up a heat exchanger. Also, the fact that you're using smoke would mean that all those pipes would need to be cleaned regularly to prevent build-up. What would work best for your suggestion are some solar water heaters on the roof maybe?
Such a great series!
You should have added the theme of Log, from Ren & Stimpy.
I love the idea. But if everyone in our town used wood stoves, we couldn't see our neighbors across the street.
It’s true. Most folks won’t do this however.
Hi
Hey guys, firewood = $$ does not = 🆓
What about a spark arrestor? The cabin looks relatively close to your the trees in the background.
Yall are in Georgia right? Is there a plan for off grid cooling when it's 100 degrees out?
Yes! 500W AC unit with PV panels, strategic tree shade, and efficient fans
Silly to not go through the roof. The more chimney pipe you have indoors, the less heat you're blowing out. Think pf every foot of stove pipe like it was a 1000w heater. That's a lot of wasted heat. Plus just cleaner and looks less crappy.
We hope that others learn from our experience :) We'll test a few approaches, and perhaps end up going through the roof in the end. This particular cabin has been an experiment we're sharing in real time. We're here to recommend the roof approach now. We want to be honest about what works and what doesn't.
Great video and channel👍
"46% of your energy bill is for heating!"
Me, an Australian on the north east cost: "Whoaaa, that's crazy!"
Actually now makes me think, good ideas for staying "cool" sustainably would be good, especially because running fans takes lots of electricity & AC has harmful emissions.
Wow, danke ❤
Is it possible to use a Stirling generator to produce power using the heat of the hot smoke going out ?
Yes, it's just involved. We've used a few small scale stirling generators just for educational purposes. Checkout this system here: www.oekofen.com/en-gb/myenergy365/
Logs aren't free :(
Logs can be free -- you just need access to land or to have land. Oil is never free. Where do you live? We get logs from our property, but if you don’t own any land, ask around! People are often willing to trade wood in return for helping them cut up some of their brush/trees in over grown areas.
@@acornlandlabs I've seen plenty of free logs on FB marketplace, but I had thought that it takes a lot of logs to heat a space.
Can vouch for this, I burn wood and we get all of it for free from people who desperately want to get rid of it. You'll just have to cut and split it yourself, probably.
Land is not free. Access isnt either. Most woodland owners have foresters and sell their spare wood where I live.
Your house is missing a damp barrier
💜👍
Get a bigger stove ! So much nicer ! To much time spent feeding the smaller stove.
Great video guys! :-)
A carbonmonoxide sensore ALLWAYS worth the investment! Tbis is a thing you cant say enough!
You dont smell carbonmonoxide, but minutes its gives you, can means life or death.
Yes!! We got one! Thanks for pointing this out for the commenters! Definitely something that will make the next video about the wood stove.
@@acornlandlabs Im glad you have one! Safety first :-)
The log is free? And I got news for ya, if you're uploading original videos with original content, you may not be "off the grid".
logs are not for free and even speak of the co2 - back to the burning things age...
Its a wood stove
Yes :)
when idiots think they know better
Ehh... electricity is actually cheaper and more effective than wood. And wood isnt free.
*efficient
Cue heat pumps. Not as easy, but definitely much more effective, less polluting, and less deadly. Not to mention that burning solids like coal and wood is illegal in some places, because of the smoke produced.
@@Yelonek1986 Indeed. For such a small cabin using an air conditioner (heat pump) is 100% the best solution but they should put a bit more care in insulating and making the cabin airtight. They have no damp barrier and make a hole in the wall without any kind of wind or water proofing
@@Obbliteration Stove is okay in my book if you are too poor to get anything better. But actually poor, not "I spent all my money to get a nicer car and cannot afford anything else". Emergency when your main heat source breaks down is fine too.
Since they are already getting AC, then maybe focus on getting electricity in the winter? Windmill? Watermill?
If it was possible to run the methane harvester in the winter, that would be great.
Another thing is the cogeneration of heat and electricity. Run some kind of power generator (LPG? I think you can get those in small tanks) and capture waste heat.
@@Yelonek1986 ahh I forgot they want to be off grid.. In that case you probably have to burn wood or pellets. No generator will be able to power ac in winter.
Why use AI art in the thumbnails??? Seriously, just take a picture. Don't use AI art. Real artists appreciate
