Great video, David. With your insight I feel confident getting a catalytic wood stove to heat my garage. Enjoy all of your content, very original and informative. Cheers from Ontatio, Canada ✌
Thank you for all the information. There a a lot of nomads that have little wood burners in their vans, trucks, and campers and they like them for warmth and cooking.
IDK if anyone else has commented on this, but I believe what you're looking for is called a pilot generator. It uses a large thermocouple to generate enough voltage to open the gas valve when the thermostat calls for heat. Of course, it uses an old fashioned pilot light that burns all the time. They're used on steam heating systems since those systems don't need any circulator pumps to operate. There is a master plumber/ HVAC tech with a youtube channel called Mikey Pipes - Pipe Doctor Plumbing & Heating & Air and he has a couple of videos where he works on those type of valves. Hope this helps you out. Looking forward to more winter camping videos, Keep up the great work- Steve👍👍👍
Post, I’m glad I’m not the only one on the planet that understands a proper window!! Open on top and bottom. I thought I was the only one.

Im the exact same. it all adds flavour though and makes it more real! Great channel!
I love my wood burning stove it uses kiln dried wood yes it's expensive here in the UK but it heats our central heating and our water we get our chimney cleaned twice a year thank you post 10 I love your camping videos
That stove is awesome, I love my woodstove but it’s an old style one and I’d never get rid of it.The woodstove has saved me many times when my power was out for almost a week on two occasions.Don’t listen to negative comments,that’s a great stove.
i love your stove! ide like to see how fast it heats compared to my old school drolet non efficient with single wall pipe. 13 degrees to 24 degrees room temp in 23 minuts !
to make the stove automatic you would need almost all the components of an tanked natural gas water heater, the biggest of them being the thermopile which when placed in the piolet light will create a small bit of power to work the switches to open the gas valve for the main burner
I have an old woodstove and I'm tired of loading it every couple hours. Hence why I'm here. I just wish blaze king would sell direct instead of going through a dealer. I'm looking at these and woodstock woodstoves
Don't let the people who say the stove doesn't work or anything else they say bad get to you. I know a girl who sit's on here all day picking fights for fun and she picks at guys and she uses a man's name as her profile name, Lots of people on here are not who you think they are, Lot's are just upset that you have cool stuff lot's of followers and your doing good and they don't, You just do you and don't worry about the idiots, You have a good thing going here your doing a good job and that's all that matters, Remember every time they comment it's counts as a good thing, So they are helping you more than hurting you. Smile and remember they are the losers not you and look you just got a new video out of them lol
I think maybe the reason you are getting such a hot pipe temperature is because you might be leaving your door cracked a little too long. When the wood gets going decent we shut the door so we don’t get flames blasting up the pipe. Nice stove I love the videos!
The problem I find with products that require replacement parts is the company either stops supporting the model or goes out of business. I splurged on a pricey Dyson vacuum 15 years ago. The vacuum could run another 20 years but the company stopped making replacement filters for that model a couple years ago and my only option are cheap Chinese clone filters that I found teared after a few minutes of use.
You can see that there a lot of pin holes in the walls that weren’t there before in the truck. At least I never noticed them. You will have to go through and fill those to avoid heat loss before the next winter camp.
I have two wood stoves; one at my house and one at my cabin. They are both non-catalyst type, with input air dampers. Neither will stay burning overnight (although the newer one is much better than the older one). So yes the catalyst stove is far more efficient. I'm thinking about replacing the one at the house with one. I go through about 6 cords over winter at the house, here in the cold Cariboo where -40 is not unknown. BTW our northern-grown pine is more like a hardwood because the growing season is so short. Fortunately we have lots of it available, 'thanks' to the pine bark beetle killing off thousands of acres. Of course we may come up short soon as the wildfires are wiping out thousands of acres too.
BTW the propane stove conversion is probably not worth the effort: you'd have to get an entire burner assembly from a propane water heater, reduce the size, and experiment with the thermocoupler that activates the burner so that it can detect surrounding air temperature rather than water tank temperature and activate the burner. Considering the dangerous nature of propane gas, I'd advise against it.
I live in Canada and I have experience with wood stoves. The best wood stove is a cast iron wood stove. It takes longer to warm up but will stay warm overnight. Metal wood stoves contrary to cast iron are good too and get warmer faster. Don't forget to burn quality wood. Hard wood works better than evergreen and creates nice coals that you can keep to reignite the fire in the morning. No need for paper. My favorite stove is the cast iron Vermont soapstone. Have a great day everyone!
I've always wondered about these stoves and their "long burn time". Yes it may "burn" for 20+ hours but does it actually put off enough heat to compensate for the heat loss throughout the house from windows, doors stuff like that? Does it maintain the temperature in the house for that long or does them temperature start to drop quit fast towards then end of the burn? I use a wood stove for heat here in Maine and if the wood stove is burning low with only a few logs its not close to enough heat to keep the temperature sustainable in the house.
Hey bud I grew up with a non cat stove. We have a Blaze king princess for 10 yrs it is Excellence in a wood stove the cat works good to this day I clean it all once a year this stove works as the brochure says it works. Enjoy your stove dont worry about the na sayers!!!!
I get you can have to stove wide open venting straight out an stove will give out a lot of heat. But let's say you damper it down an let the stove do its thing,what kind of heat are you getting off of it? Could you still boil water or even close?
For burn times catslyst will go longer, I have both and there is no comparison. The catalyst for my Blaze King was $200, if you are paying $600 you need to shop around.
Next you should make one of those Russian ovens that have the baffles all made out of bricks I like all the stoves those brick baffled ones are very efficient no smoke like a rocket stove
I wish I had a fireplace or stove. At one time there was a wood burning something from long ago and since I rent... Well the chimney outlet is only about 2 foot off the floor and is capped. They (the owners) went cheap and only capped it off but could have removed it. And the exterior was vinyl sided about 25 years ago. This place was a garage that was converted into a in law suite and built in 1940 and is fairly large for a one bedroom. A fireplace would have been cool.
You’d need to get a standing pilot assembly with a thermocouple for what you’re talking about. But you would also need some kind of gas valve or just even a solenoid to turn on and off gas the burner, I would think a battery powered ignition system for a fireplace would work. I’ve been a stationary engineer for 20 years, we operate and maintain commercial hvac systems
Thank you, I was looking for a system like on a water heater where you have to light the pilot light but then from there it would turn on and off by itself
@@post10Vlogs I bet if you go to a fireplace store and tell them what you’re trying to do they can set you up with what you need. I had to rig up a torch for the special Olympics where I live and the guys at our fireplace store were super helpful
i got a Dutchwest cat 1982 - i ONLY HEAT WITH WOOD- only burn 4 cord a year- Maine- the best burner ever- it burns wood, coal, the wood with out the cat. ! best stove ever! hasnt failed me yet- and power outages etc! Dutchwest 1982 Cat airtight. my pipes are wicked clean as well. still top 10% most efficeint
Burning for 10 hours and putting off heat for 10 hours or two different things. I load my modern woodstove up in the morning and get home 6 to10 hours later and there’s Coals in it but it ain’t putting off heat . The best thing you can do it’s basically by the stove with the biggest capacity for wood or mix it up with coal and wood😊
So isn't the wood supposed to smolder on a long burn? How do you test what is the lowest setting (aka longest burn time) can be? I"m assuming you can watch the temp of the top of the stove to judge if the wood is getting enough air. If the Temp starts to drop close to the Catalyse limit (Active zone)......the assumption is that you need to turn up the air flow because the fire is about to go out. On the flip side, too much air means too hot a fire and too fast a burn.
There is a thermostat knob on the side of the stove to control the incoming air amount. Once you set the knob where you want it, it will automatically adjust the amount of air coming into the fire. Room heats up, it lowers the air. Room cools, it raises the air. Net result is that the room stays the same temp. It's not like the old days where you were manually adjusting the air damper every 30 minutes. If you want super long run times, you turn the knob down to it's lowest setting. There is also an inactive/active display on top of the stove that tells you when the cat heats up into the active zone. At that point, you close the catalyst bypass handle on the side and 100% of the air runs through the catalyst before it hits the chimney. Yes, it will smoulder for long burns. But the cat will stay active until the fire completely goes out. Because smouldering wood will produce more smoke, which makes the cat heat up, which sends more heat back down into the wood. I've noticed that the point where the wood stove finally becomes inactive is the same point that the heat sink fan on top stops spinning. But that will occur sometime tomorrow.
So any properly aged wood that you put in will not go out on the lowest knob setting? The air automatically adjusts by a heating and cooling of a coil in the air control right? So it's Stove temp that adjusts the coil right? Not room temp? I"ve seen other videos of some people saying that the fire will go out on the lowest setting after the catalyst is up to temp and bypass closed. Could be that they closed it too soon and or didn't run it full (air) open for long enough. @@MonoblocII
I have a zero-clearance catalytic wood stove insert from 1994, and the catalysts crumble after a few years. In a different part of the house, I installed a stove which uses air introduced near the top of the firebox to burn off the smoke (called secondary burn), and it meets air quality standards with no expensive stove parts needing to be periodically replaced. Honestly, I'm surprised anyone even makes catalytic stoves any more.
After running at nonstop one season and I'm another month into this season I don't see it crumbling, even if it had to be replaced every few years the savings on Woods would pay for it. If I had to rekindle a fire every time I got home from work or wake up in the morning I wouldn't even have the stove, wouldn't be worth it but they put a 10-year warranty
When I searched it up it was like 600, there's no way they're 2000, maybe if you have a wood stove that's Heating a mansion but this is a 720 sq ft house
Why do people feel the need to share their unsolicited stupid opinions… Guy has a stove. Tries to be reasonable, efficient, environmentally conscious. Of course, like everyone on RUclips, he does it WRONG. Don’t bother with idiots and naysayers Post! Don’t let it get to you. Awesome video as always.
The thing I can’t stand about catalytic stoves is that they all look the same. Normal wood stoves come in many model, material and colors, these look ungly and all the same, I did my research to get one and all brands sell this model.
my cat stove has a bit smaller firebox than yours and only a 6inch diameter cat..i have been burning the smaller compressed firewood bricks in mine..with about 10-15 bricks stacked in and set to low i have no problem rekindling a fire after 12 hours..even 18 hours i still dont have to light a match or anything..i look at the cat not in a environmentally way but a efficiency way( have you seen idiot firewood sellers wanting 400 bucks for a cord of wood?!!)..my stove is a convection type with air holes in the bottom and a duel layer cavity up the back and around the cat and across the top and out the front that captures alot of heat off the cat and sends it into the room..Here is a cool tip, get a cheap wyze security camera and mount to the side and above the stove and you can view your temp gauge on your phone and whats even cooler is the infrared night setting if the room is dark you can see everything perfectly and it will show the hot spots around the cat or if you are over firing the chimney when prepping your fire..I get this huge white glowing spot in the top of my stove when the cat is cranking at 1200 degrees..it looks really cool!!..my stove is in my basement so i use the wyze cam all the time to monitor my stove..its great!
Right out of the gate you claim the catalytic stove is " far less efficient." Not so! Cat stoves are more efficient by at least 1/3 by burning the smoke. Also normal non cat combustion occurs around 1,000 degrees where as with a cat combustion can take place as low as 450 to500 degrees so the stove can operate cleaner at lower output and longer burns.
Burning wood is not bad for the environment. It is a natural process that has been happening for, well, as long as wood has been on this planet. The burning of man-made materials is what causes damage to the environment. Catalytic converters on wood stoves are for efficiency, not to protect our atmosphere. I'm not trying to be argumentative, just pointing out a fact.
Burning wood causes 20% of the soot and 15% of the carbon monoxide. I'm sure they didn't care about that when they started putting converters on stoves, but I also didn't learn science from woodstove companies
The great thing is Post10 it doesn’t matter what other people think of your setup or stuff. As long as you are happy, that’s all that matters.

It doesn't need to be done more than once
ที่ประเทศไทย ไม่ได้ใช้ เพราะเป็นเมืองร้อน ร้อน..ๆ มาก
ติดแอร์กัน😂😅
ours cost us £4.500 twenty years ago
Not since like 1990 atleast
Aren't the BK cataysts more like $2-300, not $600? Wouldn't be a bad idea to have one or two on hand IMO
When I searched it up it was like 600, there's no way they're 2000, maybe if you have a wood stove that's Heating a mansion but this is a 720 sq ft house
@@post10Vlogs $200*** brother
You can clean those stoves and oil em heat em up
I'll probably put a layer of oil on the rusty stove in the truck if I use it again
Why do people feel the need to share their unsolicited stupid opinions… Guy has a stove. Tries to be reasonable, efficient, environmentally conscious. Of course, like everyone on RUclips, he does it WRONG. Don’t bother with idiots and naysayers Post! Don’t let it get to you. Awesome video as always.
Have you watched the Russian stoves with a bed on top
I have not but I have thought about getting a oven box for the top of it
Mine burn long dapet out
I want a wood stove so bad in my house 🔥🪵
I have several of those stove fans...complete BS
The thing I can’t stand about catalytic stoves is that they all look the same. Normal wood stoves come in many model, material and colors, these look ungly and all the same, I did my research to get one and all brands sell this model.
You don't replace a catalyst with a damper.
Nice stove.
Read the manual.
my cat stove has a bit smaller firebox than yours and only a 6inch diameter cat..i have been burning the smaller compressed firewood bricks in mine..with about 10-15 bricks stacked in and set to low i have no problem rekindling a fire after 12 hours..even 18 hours i still dont have to light a match or anything..i look at the cat not in a environmentally way but a efficiency way( have you seen idiot firewood sellers wanting 400 bucks for a cord of wood?!!)..my stove is a convection type with air holes in the bottom and a duel layer cavity up the back and around the cat and across the top and out the front that captures alot of heat off the cat and sends it into the room..Here is a cool tip, get a cheap wyze security camera and mount to the side and above the stove and you can view your temp gauge on your phone and whats even cooler is the infrared night setting if the room is dark you can see everything perfectly and it will show the hot spots around the cat or if you are over firing the chimney when prepping your fire..I get this huge white glowing spot in the top of my stove when the cat is cranking at 1200 degrees..it looks really cool!!..my stove is in my basement so i use the wyze cam all the time to monitor my stove..its great!
Right out of the gate you claim the catalytic stove is " far less efficient." Not so! Cat stoves are more efficient by at least 1/3 by burning the smoke. Also normal non cat combustion occurs around 1,000 degrees where as with a cat combustion can take place as low as 450 to500 degrees so the stove can operate cleaner at lower output and longer burns.
Burning wood is not bad for the environment. It is a natural process that has been happening for, well, as long as wood has been on this planet. The burning of man-made materials is what causes damage to the environment. Catalytic converters on wood stoves are for efficiency, not to protect our atmosphere. I'm not trying to be argumentative, just pointing out a fact.
Burning wood causes 20% of the soot and 15% of the carbon monoxide. I'm sure they didn't care about that when they started putting converters on stoves, but I also didn't learn science from woodstove companies
