Bill......i about "lost it" when you were stacking those tiny blocks of wood! My Grizzly is going full speed right now! I use a large "deck box" to store my wood and I supplement my "cut wood" with Greenheat "pressed hardwood blocks" as they are 6 inches and burn FABULOUSLY in "our" stoves. Being disabled I can't cut enough wood for my stove so those blocks really save my bacon as it were. GOD BLESS and thank you for the good laugh this morning! Hugs for your beautiful Elizabeth as well.
When you said you were going to put a top on the wood bin, I was thinking you need to slope it. Then, of course, your genius brain then said I’m going to slope it. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're built a beautiful wood shed to keep your tiny pieces of wood in that will be so handy. You are a very talented man making all the things that you do and keeping your property so nice. And your special effects stacking the wood was very clever.
Wood heat warms you again and again and again. when you cut it, when you move it, when you stack it, when you split it , when you make it stove size. Stove size chunks should dry well. Remember never to burn pressure treated scraps, (copper, arsenic too many toxics to burn). Loved your Cinder brick rocket stove, live simple live free. Thanks for sharing with us.
Wow, this is so clever! I must show this video to my husband, because we also use a stove (but a little big larger than yours) for heating up our house. And our house is surrounded by neatly stacked pieces of wood, but having at least a small wood dispenser would be neat. You are a genius! You should have this idea patented.
Thanks for Sharing how you built your wood storage area. I love watching as I used to help my Dad when I was a kid. I love woodworking. Have a Blessed Day! God has blessed you with many gifts. Plus I have a big woodstove where I live right now. My landlord brings me wood. We stack under the stairs in basement where woodstove is located as well as kitchen and bathroom and extra bedroom.
Isn't it great to have someone who knows how to do these things. It is great and it sure goes easier on the finances! It is time for Thanksgiving and this is something to be thankful for. This should serve you well! So many blessings we shouldn't take for granted. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Bill, I just love your "puttering". Another innovative, practical and blend-in-able little (heh, heh, heh☺️) project. Stay warm! From N.H., Patricia. 👵🏻 😘 🌨❤️
What a great idea!!! Just like a one of them things you use for food for a hamster. LOL. I'm sure it's going to work great. Hope you will have a mild winter. Hugs and stay safe my friends. All the best from your friend The Nomadic Dane.
Winter is going to be a little bit more harsh, so good that you are p repaired. The good thing about snow is that it will insulate your house. Too bad the wood bin doesn't feed into your sunroom.
Bill I love your new wood bin that you made for your mini wood burning stove!! Wow only a half a cord of wood, that's great! I was curious how much wood it would take for the tiny trailer/home and now I know. The larger size of wood stoves take a lot more of wood than the mini size. So you are saving money all the way around.👍👍👍😍
Ingenious! Problem identified, problem solved! That looks like it will be perfect for what you need. Will you still move the wood over to the tiny house in your trash bins for daily needs?
No, the wood bin is only a few feet from where the trash bins are. There is no reason to move the wood twice. I can come from the tiny house right to the wood bin.
So cool, yeah, really fun to watch you build, you think of everything. Fun to watch you go in fast motion and what a great idea that wood holder, perfect.
Nice design! Really well thought out. It won't look like an out house when you have it stained. I think it will blend in with the shed once it is stained. We have rain barrels at every building. House, garage and chicken coup! We use the water for the garden and chickens. I think it's a good idea for you to still do that. You could filter it in your Berkey if you had to in an emergency rather than the trip to the stream. We're facing the same wet weather issues. Then, we got iced! Thursday night through Saturday we had no electricity. We used it as a trial run for emergency preps. It was fun! Our furnace burns oil but uses electricity so that was out but we have a wood stove in the basement that heats the whole house. We're under 900 sq. ft. It's mainly for back up but we usually have enough wood to enjoy it most of the winter. We need to start keeping more wood. Years ago our electric would frequently go out so we ditched the electric stove and got a propane burning one. We are forever grateful we did that! We use less than a 100 lb tank per year and we have 2 of those (I thought we had 3) We will get a third for our storage and rotate all three. We have a propane refrigerator from an old travel trailer in storage so we do have other uses for the propane. We have a well with an electric pump so we bought a hand pump for that. We need containers to carry water in though. We've tried the LED lights and really don't like them. We're keeping them though for storage. I prefer to use oil lamps. We have a smokeless kerosene for them. Tractor Supply sells large containers of the fuel, maybe 5 gallons? We'll get one of those. Gas stations in our area were closed. We have some solar panels that are not hooked up yet. I think in Pennsylvania they are useless in the winter but I would like to check out the small wind turbines. Riding home from church yesterday we found red oak trees cut by the electric company in a densely wooded area. Loaded up the truck. We like using oak with locust in the wood stove. There were no houses around to see if land owner may have minded but the townships own 35' of all our properties from the center of the road here so technically it was township owned. We tried to get a new battery for our generator but they were all sold out everywhere we went. Generators were sold out too! We did get a much needed large gasoline container and will get another one soon. We didn't need to use our Luggable Loo but have it in storage. We didn't have to do much for our preps but happy that we had opportunity to see where the gaps were. Our adult children got to see first hand though the necessity of emergency prepping. They couldn't stay at their homes :( Did you get iced?
It's great to use unexpected emergencies to test your preps. We look at every power outage as an opportunity to test and learn more! How do you keep the water barrels from freezing? If we did that, they would be frozen solid four months out of the year! We use the local creek, which never freezes, and our Berkey water filter.
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree Yeah, the stream is perfect back up but nice to have something in your yard. Even if it gives you an extra month or so before going to the stream it would be worth it. We haven't tried to set anything up yet for winter, we've been draining them because they split. We lived in mobile homes long ago and used heat tape and insulation for the pipes. We were talking about wrapping one in heat tape and insulation and building a box around it. Husband just said he might do the one by the chicken coup since it still has some water in it. Just to see how it does. We'll have to cheat and use an extension cord to garage but would need to have our energy storage set up for when electric is down. I'm glad you brought this up! Barred Rock chickens do well in the cold but coup has a heat lamp and their waterer has heat built in. All that would be nice to have hooked up too but it's not necessary. If he gets that done we'll let you know how it works. I really would like to know myself.
Wow Elisabeth, what did you feed Bill to make him move so fast? My husband needs some of that.😂lol. You did a great job Bill. Really nice design.😎👍 Stay warm and God Bless🙏💗
Pretty Cool!! Great ingenuity. I think that will work well:) Nothing like a nice cozy fire in the winter time. I wish I had a real wood stove in my house.
Find a obsolete 3 1/2" hard drive and harvest the two very powerful magnets from it. You can use both to hold that lid up or closed as you see fit. The drives are a bit tough to get apart but the bits are usually in a small Harbor Freight set. My wife has the actual disc saved as a small mirror. The other bits can go in the recycling piles. Love your videos! Just found the channel today.
I got so excited to see a long video I wish it was longer LOL you did an excellent job very smart very very smart the way you built that. I love watching these videos as well
oh snap :0 That month to six week before the snow flies didn't work out so well. I'm recommending everyone read or reread "The Long, Long Winter" by Laura Inglalls Wilder. We in the north, north east may have cabin fever by the end of winter. No matter what size your "cabin" is :) Thank you for another great video :) We just brought into our garage a cord of wood. That will last us about two to three weeks and we store them in galvanized trash cans.
we have a grizzly stove like yours and I got a wood blade 14" from amazon for about 65.00 and it goes on the chop saw nicely...very easy to cut wood now
I used to do it that way with my chop saw. And the cutting worked great. But the SPLITTING was too much work for me. I've found a better way, which I will show you when I do the video about my wood processing station (hopefully within the next couple of weeks). I now cut the logs to 6" with a chainsaw first, then it is VERY EASY to split the 6" logs with a hatchet, (not an axe).
I love this idea, brilliant! We could use an idea like this for our wood stove...it takes smaller pieces too...not as small as yours, but this would be excellent! You do amazing work! 👍
Is there anything this man does not know how to do? Wow, so talented. I bet he’s really a robot. Wish we had one like him around here, lots of things need fixing. And all we have around here are computer geeks, or nuts actually.🤓
I was a contractor for 30 years so I can do ALL that stuff. It's no big deal. But I can't fix a car. I'm not much of a mechanic! Oh... and I can't babysit a 2 year old. LOL
Yeah, we had one FOOT of snow less than a week later! I wanted to add that to the video before I released it, but the video was already competed and uploaded. I didn't want to do the whole thing again.
What a nice design, very clever! It looks like it will work just fine :D Just looking at it, it feels like the house will stay warm all winter! That first shot, I was thinking wow, those are biiiig pieces of wood, they'll have to be chopped down to---(enter hand, pick up tiny piece of wood)---how cute! So little! :D Sneaky Bill....
Great idea! I personally would have extended the plywood up to the top( even if I had to cut a wedge to fill in the space ). I am such a detail person. May the wood stay dry.
Bill you are so talented and use your skills to make your home so comfortable and functional!

My goodness, what a creative man you are. I wish I had met someone like you when I was younger.
What a great design! Very tallented!
Wonderful! Please remember to show us when it's finished and working. It's an amazing job! Praise God!
Yup, soon. :-)
I love how you just keep moving along even if you make a mistake you don't let it bother you. I loved watching yoh build this .

Yes we all enjoy your building videos, keep them coming......
It looks very nice and more presentable than the trash cans.
I think it is wonderful how you both work together to accomplish things for your family. xoxo
Great design! Good job!!!
Wow!! You are very good at problem solving!! I really enjoy watching all your videos!!

Wow, great invention, you need to sell the design to a tiny stove Company!
Bill, I just love your "puttering". Another innovative, practical and blend-in-able little (heh, heh, heh☺️) project. Stay warm! From N.H., Patricia. 👵🏻 😘 🌨❤️
Clever design. You are a capable handyman, Bill. Best wishes to you and Elizabeth.

Very clever idea. Something like the same principle of food falling out for cats in a bowl. Put a patent on this. It shows how organized you are.
Tiny House, Tiny Heater, Tiny Wood for Big Heat for you. Love It. Loves N Hugs 2 U Both.
Well done you! And thank you so much for taking the time to record, edit and upload this.....practical and well designed! Journey mercies, 'y'all!
Great job.
What a great design and build for wood storage. Well done!
Awesome job! Wow! Youre a good worker!
Very smart!! Great job!!

That should work just fine, good job ‼️
Bill - like everything you make - it's perfectly grand!
Good job Bill, & God bless you and Elizabeth!!!
You, too. 😊
good job Bill. I enjoy the building videos. Thank you
You did a great job Bill, thank you!😊
Love watching your building projects!!!

great job!
Pretty Cool!! Great ingenuity. I think that will work well:) Nothing like a nice cozy fire in the winter time. I wish I had a real wood stove in my house.

Made your place look and work even better!
I enjoy yr how-to videos, from cooking to storage bins for winter wood!!

Not necessary. The lid leans against the bin and stays open by itself, 👍
Nice craftsmanship Bill! Pleasing to watch.
I got so excited to see a long video I wish it was longer LOL you did an excellent job very smart very very smart the way you built that. I love watching these videos as well
That's awesome turned out great
Great job... and i love the project video Bill
I love the project videos ..you make it look easy!
Your wood storage unit looks good 👍
Thanks!
I'm glad you have a sense of humor because when you said "so that the wood doesn't rust" I lost it. :)
Genius!😃
Excellent design and execution. You do such good work!!! Do you have a single brother just like you? I'll take him!
Very clever!

In our tiny place, we heat the entire thing for the entire winter with our tiny stove - with just 1/2 cord of wood!
Great design!!! You thought of everything.
You are very imaginative Bill. The things you come up with. Love watching your project videos. ♡♡♡♡

sweet Bill looks awesome!!
I think I like your design too ! Good job & yes, I agree to patent and sell it
Well done! Thanks for sharing.
Good job !
I'm impressed
Hi Bill, what a great idea, looks vey nice an useful. Happy Thanksgiving to both of you and your family and may God bless you all. Hugs. Francine
Gr8 idea 💡‼️
more videos like this please just great .regards from England
Very Ingenious. Awesome video, Thanks for sharing.
you can still use the trash cans, just collect the wood there and dump them into the new bin once its filled up, while you cut the wood.
Looks like a great solution! Well done! You kind of jinxed your self there at 12:20 :-)
Yeah, we had one FOOT of snow less than a week later! I wanted to add that to the video before I released it, but the video was already competed and uploaded. I didn't want to do the whole thing again.
Obviously thought out. Looks good. Looking forward to see your wood cutting station. 👍💖👍
Good idea Bill🤗
THANK YOU!
Nice job Bill, Now if you had a chop block saw mounted on a table you could make short order out of processing your wood.
What a nice design, very clever! It looks like it will work just fine :D Just looking at it, it feels like the house will stay warm all winter! That first shot, I was thinking wow, those are biiiig pieces of wood, they'll have to be chopped down to---(enter hand, pick up tiny piece of wood)---how cute! So little! :D Sneaky Bill....
yay project videos! looking forward ro your firewood processing table project!
That is great!
Looks good Bill! 👍
nice job
good job
Great idea! I personally would have extended the plywood up to the top( even if I had to cut a wedge to fill in the space ). I am such a detail person. May the wood stay dry.
We've had several days of rain and a foot of snow since I finished this, and the wood is staying dry. :-)
That is a good way to store your wood. Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving.
You, too!
Very cool! You sure come up with some creative ideas.
Ingenious!
I enjoyed watching this and I don't usually get into that kind of thing.
Great job,looking good.i like it.😎❤️👍❤️☺️
Great job!
One question: Where does the weather come from? (Laugh laugh) Nice job Bill!
I filmed this video over the several months that it took me to complete this project. Sometimes it's easy to forget what I already said a month ago!!!
Tinyhouse Prepper I bet. Checking out that little stove.🙂
Good idea.
Simple awesome!!! Love it
Be bless💝🐱
