great video, im in british columbia, northern bc, my local village had meeting, Air flow and heat loss solutions. Great tip on easy heat flow designs and solutions. no expert required just innovation of what's available and low maintenance, and less expensive alternative. Luukw'il Aam, very good.
Kudos Jimmy. Winter is approaching here in the UK and our heating bills are about to rocket - literally - due to greedy energy suppliers and out inept government. Needless to say, our wood burner will be working overtime this winter! Some great tips from you in that video - thankyou, and plenty to think about for anyone wanting to avoid lining the pockets of gas / elec companies. You have a lovely home by the way! Keep up the good work fella! Cheers, Andy
High quality cat wood stove here on the mid-level floor in a verrry old, poorly insulated house. I use a 1/2 inch single ply toilet paper strip taped to a stick to follow the warm air flow. We finally ---after 30 years-- added a door to tightly control the amount of hot air going upstairs. Special treat, the door was free and fits well.
Thanks my bro you have just opened my eyes big time 😊 we just had our log burner installed and your video is exactly what I was looking for as trying to distribute as much heat as possible around the house, got heat powered stove fans pushing heat from the stoves towards the door and trying to push it a bit upstairs too fingers crossed, the curtain tip is also something we will take on board. Thanks once again for sharing your knowledge 🙏♥️
Great job Jimmy,I dont have a stove at home but It is always interesting to learn new things,you are a great comunicator. I know someone in Santafe, Granada,Spain,who would be delighted to hear your tips in Spanish and could use them on his own fireplace, in his huertecillo, Sr.Rafael!!😄😄😘😘😘
"My wife wasn't crazy about me doing this" - LOL - welcome to my world. Next she'll be saying she doesn't want you taking the lawn mower apart on the dining room table. I don't know 🤣👍
Hi Jimmy, I live in NY State. I am more interested in that curtain. I actually need one to stop air from kitchen are to living room where I have my stove. It is cast iron so it is perfectly warm. Anyway could you send me the type of the curtain which stays up😀? Thank you for your help. J.
It is a thick curtain intended for a sliding glass door, with no light penetration. It has a plastic liner on the back side to prevent light coming through, and therefore does not let air through either. Measure the opening and get 2 curtains that fit the opening with extra for the pleats, and walk through the middle. On Amazon or local discount store. Key is to get a strong bar above. I did not want to put holes, so got very heavy duty shower bar that stays in with pressure and no screws. Hope this helps.
Yes. The curtains are high quality and look nice. It was either the curtains with a warmer living environment where we spend most of the time trapping in the heat, or no curtains with a cooler environment with no barrier to keep out the cooler air.
Curtains are a good idea. Thanks 😁
They are!
Nice house

Was your wife/partner okay with the curtains?
Yes. The curtains are high quality and look nice. It was either the curtains with a warmer living environment where we spend most of the time trapping in the heat, or no curtains with a cooler environment with no barrier to keep out the cooler air.
