Prepping is all about alternative backups, and you have done extremely well. You always leave me interested in what you will teach next. You make learning fun. Thank you for that.
Hi guys, we just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this video and your previous video. We are so happy that you love your stove. The only draw backs that I heard you point out was the size of wood and the labor it takes to cut it down. I know you have a bunch of wood already, but pressed logs work great as well and they are easy to break into pieces with just a quick hit from a hammer. Not sure if it is more cost effective but it is one way to make it easier getting your wood to the correct size. You can find bags of these pressed logs at your local hardware store. So you may want to try that out. Once again thank you.
+Cubic mini wood stove Thanks for the suggestion. If we only used the stove occasionally, that would be an option. Be we are heating pretty much full time with it. We burn the stove about 18 hours a day. It cost me under $200 for an entire cord of wood, which is CONSIDERABLY less than a CORD of pressed logs would cost. I wanted to give my subscribers an honest review of this neat little stove, which includes all of the great benefits, as well as the realistic look at the work involved. But then ANY wood stove, no matter how large or small, takes a lot of extra work compared to just turning up the thermostat. Thanks for creating this neat little stove. Not only does it heat our tiny little place, it makes it nice and cozy!We've had several of our subscribes say that after watching our review, they're going to buy one. Whether they follow through with that, I have no way of knowing.And thanks for put our videos on your website. I think it's helping our subscriber base grow.
+Tinyhouse Prepper (Live simple. Live free) Absolutely, we love the honesty you provide your subscribers. It is more work than turning up a thermostat. I'm glad it works out for both of us, giving our product exposure and giving your subscribers honest opinion, and also expanding your subscribers. So glad that it has made your space more cozy and that you are enjoying it. Makes what we do worth it.
Oh shipping pallets are free and easy to make into small pieces (that's from the people in the truck with the tiny stove) and you can get them basically in the back of any store that gets deliveries! Hope this helps (its free!)
I also have joint problems. I drink distilled water. It lubricates the joints better and dissolves any deposits in the joints. I started using it and it eliminated any joint replacement surgeries. Food for thought. After your videos about this stove I have decided to purchase one of these stoves. Thank you for the guidance.
Very nice stove but with our winter night lows at 68°F to 70°F with 72% humidity our AC would be more speed than a wood stove. I do miss the wood burning smell and popping sound but not the work and cold temperatures. I'm glad your stove is a joy to all bring you the heat you need without to much expense, trouble and mess. You did a great job on the 3 videos in showing the issues and explaining how you resolved the problem with an excellent result.
Your tiny house sounds like my grandmother's house when I was a kid. She always had a grandfather clock that ticked softly in her quiet and peaceful home. She had a nice pot belly wood stove that we used to love stoking for her when we visited. We loved cutting wood to go in the stove and actually used to argue as kids over who got to do it! Can you imagine that? Your woodstove is adorable! Who would've ever thought something that small can do such a great job of heating? Love the quiet and watching the flames. Very calming and peaceful. Such a good time to pray.
So glad it is working well for you both. My husband and I are looking forward to getting a smaller home someday. Taking notes! Thanks for the videos and love the new graphics on your intro. So cute.
I used to heat with wood and we always used about three cords a Winter. I live in Northern Nevada. This is really nice. I'm enjoying your video's very much!
Some great places to find small pieces of wood like that is at a place that builds or repairs pallets. At our shop, we fill a tote (64 cu ft. ) every week. Or any place that prefabs homes etc.
Love the way you organized it. I noticed by viewing other people with this stove that they removed the upper rail so they can put a kettle or a small pan on it. Others have placed a stove-ventilator on it to blow radiant heat through the house. These fans operated with a TEC and do not need a battery. Free hot air and they look really good. On eBay, they sell for less than $30.
+Searcy Dianne Great! That's what we want to do is encourage other people to step out and do what they really WANT to do, but for whatever reason, they don't think they can. The fact is, if you believe it, you can do it!
Great review Bill, I have been doing some research on this lifestyle over the last 2 years. Thank you for sharing an outstanding "in-depth" look at the installation, operation, and efficiency of this stove. Well done sir!
Have to ask considering a new camper build and looking at small wood stoves. Have you noticed an increase in your creosote by burning in the stove at such a low temp, your glass was pretty much sooted up. Admit my stove use of the last 30 years has gone from Fisher's, Glenwoods, to Lopi now, in my old 3000 ft sq house. You mentioned in your video and I can say my consumption old days to now, has gone from 10 cords with Fisher Grandpa to my 20 year old Lopi Liberty (it's has a 2500 ft. sq. rating.) 3.5 cords per year. The lopi is dbl. burn wood stove.Just prefer wood to propane, oil, or gas and electric. Dry heat makes me spoiled.Would appreciate any input, and as an aside - have you looked into magnetic temp. guage to make sure you don't end up with creosote build-up in your pipe. Even db;. burn stoves shouldn't have that much smoke in the pipe if burning at proper temp like 500 degrees safe temperature.
Well Bill......We installed my Grizzly this last weekend. OK, our FIRST mistake was watching your "old" video on installation! LOL LOL That being said.......I had purchased the DOUBLE WALL flue......we figured it out with some "outside the box" thinking but it's in and it's awesome. I also got an EcoFan per your recommend AND of course the tool kit which is now mounted near my little wonder. I had PM'd you about "wood amount needed" but I think (?) hope and pray I have enough AND the man who installed it is like a brother to me.....HE went out and purchased the wood splitter you use because he has a full size stove in his pole barn. So.....big THANKS all around. I love my stove and thank God for letting me discover your video's AND Elizabeth is one of my favorite people EVER and your dad is just amazing. May God bless you all!
That's OK my dear friend! WE GOT IT ...... and you two are in ARUBA and I am so happy for you! God bless you always (and the lovely Elizabeth) .... Thank you so much for your help and suggestions!
My eventual granny flat will be about 450 sq. ft., so I'll need something a little bigger. I'll have a heated slab floor, but I'd like a woodstove for backup. I was the sole keeper of the woodstove for about 25 years in our log house. Wood was our only heat source, so I was always stoking that regular size woodstove night and day, belching smoke when I opened it. My hubby did throw in logs occasionally, but he worked and everyone slept soundly at night, except me, so I did it mostly. This looks pretty cinchy! I like a previous commenter's idea about finding scraps from someone who makes pallets. :)
I love this little cartoon at the start of your videos for the Tiny Home!! And the little charactures look like you all!! Along with kitty!! I think when ppl draw smiley faces it looks like themselves!
it was almost a year ago now but thanks for taking the time. Kimberly who do wood burners do a lamp that goes with it. can be used on any hot top stove. a lamp that gives instant free light via the heat plus charges the internal battery so you can uae it else where. it also has usb so you can charge phones and laptops from the lamp. see a guy on a van dwelling channel review it. may be worth you looking it up. free light and free battery charge from the wood you are already enjoying the heat from. a tip for you for taking the time for us
I'm familiar with Kimberly. I've looked at their website many times. But I've never heard of a lamp like you describe. I looked at their site again and I don't see anything like that. If there is any more info you can find, I am very interested in this.
yea sure I had to have a think of who it was that I see review. look up a van dweller on youtube called JUSTINCREDIBLETV he has a class C. with a wood burner he does a vid giving this lamp a good review. and gives full links to where to get them. two types of the same lamp one with the battery bank that can do as I explained above. plus a cheaper one that's a lamp only free light that only works when on the stove. the other one stays on when off the stove. when off stove runs via the free charged battery bank. I think you will like it and can see it would come in usefull to you guys. check it out let me know. wish I could do you a link but I aint got the knowhow
I was looking at saving up for a Kimberly for my 29' fifth wheel, but the PRICE is an issue. The Mini Cub is approximately a 10th of the cost, IS a gassifier wood stove and will heat my rig at a fraction of the cost.
i agree they are nice but out of most peoples price range. mine too. but that lamp charger looks awesome. would work on any flat top stove. 29th fifth wheel I'm going to take a big step back and read that again wow
I am actually subscribed to JUSTINCREDIBLETV, but I have not seen that video about the lamp. I'll have to go check it out, thanks. It was from him that I first learned about the Kimberley.
Thank you for the thorough, well done review of the stove and wood preparation routine. Someone suggested bio-bricks but I don't think you can use them in the tiny wood stoves. What I remember being told when I had a small stove is that they burn too hot. They also are expensive compared to wood and have to be kept dry.
+H. Bird I don't know about the heat, but I have assumed that they would be too expensive. Those kinds of "fake logs" are fine if you just burn a weekend fire at the cabin. But if you heat with them full time like we do, cordwood is the cheapest - especially if you cut and split it yourself rather than buying it.
so very happy you made this video and showed this stove ! i have been looking fir an affordable stove that wasnt too big . I have a nice double wide but have been so broke i have spent 6 winters without propane heat my first year here in this house i spent 800 dollars for the fuel and was out by march and just using portable electric heaters in rooms being used mainly in bedrooms which can be tricky in coldest months since pipes freeze easy in the coldest months despite the heat wrap on them . why i used the electric is because i can make a payment plan with electric company and pay a smaller amount but not with a propane supplier. I am hoping i can buy this i priced them around 600 dollars which i might not be able to afford for a year or 2 but still this is a great option to consider thanks for the info.
There's a video here on RUclips that shows how to use old papers for making a kind of kindling for burning in wood stoves. Of course the pieces of paper kindling is for a larger stove I'm sure that you could probably make the size that you would need for your small stove. It uses junk mail and a few other things to make it work. I hope that you and your wife will look into this process for your little stove. Good Luck!!!! Love all of the video's they are very informative and helpful.
Thanks for the review. I bought one at Christmas and hope to install it into T-Rex this summer. T-Rex is our lifted, 4x4, camper van. I have hardly any clearance to work with so will be pushing the envelope greatly.
+VanoRama RV Before you install it, be sure to watch my new video "Maintenance requirements" if you haven't seen it yet. ruclips.net/video/NmBks8i8vxQ/видео.html
Excellent presentation. I enjoyed your review very much. I only recently discovered these tiny stoves and most are extremely expensive, the Kimberly wants almost $4,000. Did not like the idea that I may have to feed it wood every hour or so but you reminded me that the electric furnace kicks in if we do not feed the fire. So I am aiming to purchase one this coming late Summer to be ready by Fall. Those little tools were the cutest. Elizabeth seems to enjoy poking around that little fire box. I really think the smallness and cuteness of this stove is a big draw, but of course it is very functional. Hey, thanks for sharing. Lol.
You guys are great! God bless you two and thanks for the helpful videos. Bills install was very simple. Gonna try to find one for my Class B rv. Thanks again.
I'm so glad you are happy with the stove, I saw a little one like I'm getting in a tiny house in a van (truck probably about the size of the smallest flatbed truck - it's difficult translating British truck sizes to yours but this thing was amazing it had a shower and composting toilet and the bed was above the cab. Seeing a similar stove to the one I'm getting in there put a lot of fears to rest. Its small (not quite as small as yours but has the flat top so you can boil a kettle or something. I think yours is beautiful but for my first while in the tiny house I'm not going to be able to afford solar (we can get grants but I will have to have given up my flat in London which I can't do due to commitments for a year or so) however I am going to be spending a lot of time in the tiny house as I have to build an extension to the initial kit build with real trees! I have a portable sawmill which I have to get aquainted with too! I intend to get the kitchen, bathroom and loft in the kit bit then extend into a living space (we don't need planning as its on our ex forestry land and pretty isolated, so its going on concrete piers, posts with rebar that are sunk into the ground and made level) so I need to be living in the initial part as soon as possible so I am not under my sister's feet all the time. She's roughly a half mile away as the crow flies. But I saw this portable solar charger for my phone, and tablet and have a Dutch oven and am sure I'll survive the first little while as long as I have heat (and I have literally thousands of trees that blew down in the storms for firewood and building. .its mostly Sitka Spruce, my sister had a couple of beautiful beech trees that got blown down and she was heartbroken so I have to give them a wide berth unless once I get some experience with the mill I can make her something to cheer her up and help her remember the trees positively). I am enjoying your videos so I am off to look some more. Again, I am really pleased the mini stove is working well for you as I have been through the nightmare of condensation (butane in my case) and it's horrible. Ok good luck and I will update you when I get mine going (Scottish weather conditions permitting lol!).
If you have ever watched any of the narrowboat videos from the UK, they make a heat driven fan, it works buy heat rising off the stove & there is an induction motor that the hotter the fire, the faster it turns. They really help move the heat around.
if you added a small fan blowing from near the ceiling in the room with the stove towards the bedroom you would get better distribution of heat. It really doesnt take much to push the heat around, but it does take a little while.
Talk to your firewood supplier, often times they have the "odds & ends" pieces that are shorter than 16" and often discard them as unsalable. Also any saw mills in your area? They also have the same and you may be able to obtain it very cheaply, worth the try!! We call those "ice house stoves" in NW Wisc as they get used a lot in our "winter retreats".
Bill and Elizabeth, great little woodstove. Back in the 70's I heated with an air tight stove and Bill your right it too almost two cords of wood to heat the small house. Is the top big enough to put a small kettle of water on?.
+Susan Smith This stove has a really nice looking little brass trim around the top. We really like it, but it was in the way of a pot. So I took it off. Now the stove isn't quite as charming, but we can now put our old fashion coffee percolator pot on top of the stove.
I know it's a couple years late here, but look for the heat activated wood stove fans. You would just set it on top of the stove and the heat of the stove powers the motor of the fan and it will quietly and gently help move the air through the trailer. Just a thought.
Where is the intake? A common issue is the air escaping the flew must be replaced by air coming in from somewhere. This made stoves and fireplaces counter productive as it pulls frigid air in any and all tiny cracks around the dwelling, until some one installed a dedicated intake for them. Being I did not see the intake on the last video during the install I am left with that question.
i have an idea for you. talk to a cabinet maker near you and see if you have get his off cuts of hardwood. that should get you into the size you will need to the stove. a lot of time they will give you them for little to no cost.
+munchichi8 I did the old axe (maul) for years. But at 59, I just don't have the energy for that anymore. This log splitter is easy to use. And it seems slower than an axe, but with an axe I have to stop to rest a lot. With the splitter I can just keep working, so it takes about the same time, with less energy.
How about putting a small fan somewhere in the house to move the warm air to the back of the house? I also remember that you have an electric heater in the back near the back door. Those flat electric heaters are the ones that I will buy when I need to do it.
+Betsy Oman I'm looking at several options for fans, but haven't decided yet. Even without a fan, heat still seems to get to the back. We like the bedroom cooler for sleeping anyway, so it works out well.
What works good for fire wood also is I go to menards and I just get a bundle of 8ft 1×1's and I just cut em up into small pieces, cheap 2×4's work really good too. Its pine so it will burn faster but its super simple and cheap.
we just purchased one for our sailboat that we live on 365... the diesel stove was just giving me massive headaches i'm sure this is a better option. oh Greetings from South Eastern Ontario
Sweet. can you heat water on the woodstove. Is there room? I have to handle 7 cords of wood, stacking, hauling, and what a mess wood makes. I'm getting near 80, wondering if I'll be able to continue. But, there isn't anything like the heat coming off of the woods stove! Enjoyed the installing the unit, and the follow-up. Well Done~
Two questions - how much of that cord do you expect to use this winter? Also, can you use the compressed bricks ( basically, giant wood pellets ) in that stove?
+Jollyprez For January and February we have used about 1/2 cord of wood. I expect to get through a winter with only ONE cord of wood! A large stove would use MANY cords if you burned it all the time like we do. Yes, you can use compressed logs or bricks, but I think they would cost CONSIDERABLLY more than cordwood does. Their website says you cannot use pellets.
its nice to see all the cool ideas yall come up with to do stuff in a small space. and seeing this wood stove be so small and it put out so much heat is nice. its nice to see a well built small item work so well. and its size works so well. do yall have pets like a cat? if so how do they deal with the stove being on and hot? i hope yall haven't had an incident where the cat jumped up on it to want to sit on it. i have a newer younger cat that is jumping up on the counters in the kitchen and other stuff to check things out and im nervous that he would jump on the stove on any of that is on and hot.
Hello, I just purchased and installed a cubic grizzly wood stove after watching your reviews. I just had a few questions... 1. Did you cure the paint by running it the first time outside and did it produce smoke when it cured? We have not lit ours yet (still rather warm here) and I really don’t want to take it out to cure it outside if I don’t have to.. 2. Can you explain in a little more detail how the vents work and how to operate them.. I’m new to wood stoves. We live in a 37 foot camper and really hoping this cuts down on how much propane we use to heat in the winter. Thanks!
You can go around where loggers been cutting hard wood and the leave behind the spindly tops and big heave limbs that will be perfect cut in 2 foot lengths more or less and just cut pucks with the chop saw.
just a thought...how would a small fan work in tandem? if it were positioned on that wall heat shield to the left, blowing across the top, it might do well. just a thought
What regulations did you have to deal with in your state? I know with Mobile Homes, there are different regulations that 'normal' homes, such as requiring fresh air intake, extra clearances, et.. Are RV's under those regulations? I know each state is different, I'm just not sure where to start looking. Great site... I look forward to learning a lot from you!
I have a woodstove in my 59' camper, no other heat source and my camper is a 8x14 so half the size of yours.i love my woodstove, but it does go out couple times a night, so every few hrs im getting up to start it again.
Ok how much is stove and how often do you have to feed it the chunks of wood? Can't imagine you would get along burn time out of 2-3 chunks so are you feeding stove every half hour? That's a lot to commit to
Fantastic splitting demo and Liz's comments on how easy it is for her, what about the floor, how do you keep it warm, my feet are always freezing with the propane heater. I wear slippers with a rubber sole, but it's still cold. Great review. Thanks so much, I subbed and liked, I'll share too!
+laurie m We have well insulated skirting around the house. And yes, we do wear "warm fuzzy" slippers, but we find that the floor surprisingly just doesn't get that cold.
This stove has some creosote issues because it doesn’t burn hot enough (300 degrees) to burn up all the creosote, because it’s so small. It does have dampers on the air vents, but I cannot close them at all. I must burn the stove WIDE OPEN to keep it burning as hot as possible to help control the creosote.
From the roof. Take the rain cap off of the flu pipe, and run a cleaning brush down from the top. Here is our Cubic Mini wood stove playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLD231j5QApVI-bG2XWKWt9-k9xnzV_opZ
Fantastic little stove. do you feed it whenever you get up at night to go to the bathroom? We used to do that at my parents cabin in the winter, (Canada) feed first, and check when done in the bathroom. could you use a bungee cord or spring to retract the ram on the splitter?
+iceman22st It has to be fed once every hour because it is so small. If not, it's dead cold in three hours. It doesn't last the night. We burn it from about 6 AM til midnight, then stoke it before we go to bed. We have electric backup heat that kicks in for a few hours when the stove goes out at night. The splitter is already spring loaded the retract the ram.
Thanks for the review. Mine is on it's way. Looking forward to using it and doing my own review. I am guessing I will like it as you do. You should do a separate wood splitter video. I think my Harbor freight splitter video is my most viewed video.
Talk to your local hardware stores, and maybe even local wood mill plant, sometimes they will give away little chunks of wood like that for free. But the may charge you a little, but its worth not having to split and cut it down to size. And they even may set aside a trash can or two full of those little wood chunks.
Thank you! I am almost into year 3 of RV living. My first year I had a huge moisture issue.....year 2 I had 200.00 monthly electric bills (winter) and part of this winter I was able to be in a house....right now I am back in the RV waiting on spring.....this fall when the nights/weather turn colder I WILL have a cubic mini woodstove in my RV! I have written to the company and they are excellent to talk to and deal with. I will be ordering my stove and yes, the tools within the month? My best friends husband will install it for me this summer. God bless you both and I love all your video's and am going to start watching the ''tea with Jesus'' video's......I found you recently and need to catch up. CAN I ASK 1 THING? Have you switched out your flue to the double walled now? IF SO......ANY ISSUES WITH CREOSOTE? Thank you for your time!
We have just received some double wall flue, but we have not yet had a chance to change it out. At this point, it probably won't happen until summer, since winter is almost over. I expect, though, that the double wall will eliminate most of the creosote issues because it will keep the gases inside the flue much hotter. I'm hoping that with the double wall, we will be able to damp the stove down a little at night to make it burn a little longer. Right now we have to keep it wide open to burn as hot as possible to try to control the creosote. I will do a video on the new double wall flue, but it won't be until next fall after we get it installed and use it for awhile.
THANK YOU so much for taking the time to answer me! You and Elizabeth are my RV living guides and I felt so blessed to find you. Due to your experiences I am going to also get the grizzly stove. Mine will be installed this summer and next winter will be SO MUCH better. God bless you both and keep you safe in His hand!
We love our Cubic. The only challenge (besides the creosote, which I think the double wall will take care of) is that we have to process the firewood into 6" pieces. That takes a lot of extra work. But it is AMAZING to actually have a fireplace in an RV! And it keeps us nice and cozy. It's good that you have electric backup heat because the Cubic will not always be burning since the burn time is only a couple of hours.
With your recommendations I will get the Grizzly and like you do set my free standing heater on a setting to come on when it gets cold enough. I am ''catching up'' on your video's. I am a disabled woman in her early 50's and this will be the summer I will follow Elizabeth's advice and get rid of the extra and keep it simple. Thank you again.....I also will be using the double wall flue and I have all summer to cut my firewood and if I work at a little at a time I will be winter ready by fall. God bless you both and I look forward to your next video. OH! I will also have an Ecofan! Duh.....excellent video on that as well.
+Maureen TheTemp Absolutely. In fact, as soon as we stopped using the propane and starting using electric heat (while we were waiting for the stove to arrive) the condensation problems stopped. So it was definitely the propane that was the problem.
Great video, very nice stove choice. I process my wood like you and find no one talks about this aspect of a mini-wood stove. love it! for exercise, I use an axe yet I am very careful. Mght find a manual wood splitter like yours... Thanks again!
+Charles Michael Because the stove is so small, there is not much wood mass. It needs to be stoked and every 45-60 minutes. if not, it's out in about 3 hours. So no, it does not last through the night. We burn it about 18 hours a day. The electric heat kicks in when the stove goes out.
Wow! Lived in the deep south all of my life and I STILL am not used to the heat. We get occasional cool weather and a while back I got suckered into an electric heat pump (they're a joke) Great concept-a way to keep running a compressor during the cooler months so the power company can keep on kickin' my tail. I can't stand hot air blowing so a wood stove is just what the doctor orders for me & mine. Will find one just right for our little house/something for our 1300 sq feet. Won't need a big one at all.
does the mini stove come with all the piping and the back shield and the hanger and the outside flu or are all of these extras and you have to pay for them as well.
Use the chop saw to cut across the wood. Then a light hit with an axe or maul will easily split. The manual log splitter wouldn't be needed. Sell it and buy a sawzall. You'll find processing wood with a sawzall is relatively fast.
Prepping is all about alternative backups, and you have done extremely well. You always leave me interested in what you will teach next. You make learning fun. Thank you for that.
I'm so grateful for this video. I'm starting a homestead in Nova Scotia and was looking for a small wood stove. This has made up my mind to buy one
I am too but in maine
Glad to here the stove is working out. I am thinking of buying one because of your review thanks
You have become my new favorite you tube prep per channel. Thanks😊
+dancing onmytoes Well... thank you very much. We're honored.
I gust love yous to yous make me fell happy l going by one for my little home a van all my love Scotland lady xx frome Scotland x
Excellent review! Very complete and helpful. Plus that is the cutest thing ever 😆 Thanks, You both are great!
I love you guys!! You've been so helpful with your installation, review, and comparison videos. I couldn't have asked for better reviews.
Very cool little wood stove! Thanks for sharing.
Hi guys, we just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this video and your previous video. We are so happy that you love your stove. The only draw backs that I heard you point out was the size of wood and the labor it takes to cut it down. I know you have a bunch of wood already, but pressed logs work great as well and they are easy to break into pieces with just a quick hit from a hammer. Not sure if it is more cost effective but it is one way to make it easier getting your wood to the correct size. You can find bags of these pressed logs at your local hardware store. So you may want to try that out. Once again thank you.
+Cubic mini wood stove Thanks for the suggestion. If we only used the stove occasionally, that would be an option. Be we are heating pretty much full time with it. We burn the stove about 18 hours a day. It cost me under $200 for an entire cord of wood, which is CONSIDERABLY less than a CORD of pressed logs would cost. I wanted to give my subscribers an honest review of this neat little stove, which includes all of the great benefits, as well as the realistic look at the work involved. But then ANY wood stove, no matter how large or small, takes a lot of extra work compared to just turning up the thermostat. Thanks for creating this neat little stove. Not only does it heat our tiny little place, it makes it nice and cozy!We've had several of our subscribes say that after watching our review, they're going to buy one. Whether they follow through with that, I have no way of knowing.And thanks for put our videos on your website. I think it's helping our subscriber base grow.
+Tinyhouse Prepper (Live simple. Live free) Absolutely, we love the honesty you provide your subscribers. It is more work than turning up a thermostat. I'm glad it works out for both of us, giving our product exposure and giving your subscribers honest opinion, and also expanding your subscribers. So glad that it has made your space more cozy and that you are enjoying it. Makes what we do worth it.
Oh shipping pallets are free and easy to make into small pieces (that's from the people in the truck with the tiny stove) and you can get them basically in the back of any store that gets deliveries! Hope this helps (its free!)
They are mostly hard wood and burn very hot too - we heated an old farm house with sliced up pallets back in the day
My Dad used free pallets to heat most of his 1 level 3 bdrm house for years.
You are such nice people. So down to Earth with common sense about your values. I love you and I subbed.
I also have joint problems. I drink distilled water. It lubricates the joints better and dissolves any deposits in the joints. I started using it and it eliminated any joint replacement surgeries. Food for thought. After your videos about this stove I have decided to purchase one of these stoves. Thank you for the guidance.
Very nice stove but with our winter night lows at 68°F to 70°F with 72% humidity our AC would be more speed than a wood stove.
I do miss the wood burning smell and popping sound but not the work and cold temperatures.
I'm glad your stove is a joy to all bring you the heat you need without to much expense, trouble and mess.
You did a great job on the 3 videos in showing the issues and explaining how you resolved the problem with an excellent result.
Your tiny house sounds like my grandmother's house when I was a kid. She always had a grandfather clock that ticked softly in her quiet and peaceful home. She had a nice pot belly wood stove that we used to love stoking for her when we visited. We loved cutting wood to go in the stove and actually used to argue as kids over who got to do it! Can you imagine that? Your woodstove is adorable! Who would've ever thought something that small can do such a great job of heating? Love the quiet and watching the flames. Very calming and peaceful. Such a good time to pray.
I love the hydraulic splitter!!! Great video!
Thanks for responding to my question. That means a lot for you to take the time to answer 😀
Thank you Bill & Liz. Another excellent video.
So glad it is working well for you both. My husband and I are looking forward to getting a smaller home someday. Taking notes! Thanks for the videos and love the new graphics on your intro. So cute.
I used to heat with wood and we always used about three cords a Winter. I live in Northern Nevada. This is really nice. I'm enjoying your video's very much!
Some great places to find small pieces of wood like that is at a place that builds or repairs pallets. At our shop, we fill a tote (64 cu ft. ) every week. Or any place that prefabs homes etc.
Really cool! I've got a 20 year supply of wood if I switched to a setup like you have. I don't mind the work part. That's no big deal.
You both explained the operation and benefits of this wood stove very well. Good insights! Thank you for a great video.
Love the way you organized it. I noticed by viewing other people with this stove that they removed the upper rail so they can put a kettle or a small pan on it. Others have placed a stove-ventilator on it to blow radiant heat through the house. These fans operated with a TEC and do not need a battery. Free hot air and they look really good. On eBay, they sell for less than $30.
I love watching you two. You help me to not be so afraid to try this. Thanks!
+Searcy Dianne Great! That's what we want to do is encourage other people to step out and do what they really WANT to do, but for whatever reason, they don't think they can. The fact is, if you believe it, you can do it!
Great review Bill, I have been doing some research on this lifestyle over the last 2 years. Thank you for sharing an outstanding "in-depth" look at the installation, operation, and efficiency of this stove. Well done sir!
+Ray Lovett Thanks, I hate it when I watch something that leaves as many questions as it gives answers, so I try to be thorough.
You were flawless. Turned a friend on to your channel and fb page, she'll be subbing soon.
+Ray Lovett Thanks
Have to ask considering a new camper build and looking at small wood stoves. Have you noticed an increase in your creosote by burning in the stove at such a low temp, your glass was pretty much sooted up. Admit my stove use of the last 30 years has gone from Fisher's, Glenwoods, to Lopi now, in my old 3000 ft sq house. You mentioned in your video and I can say my consumption old days to now, has gone from 10 cords with Fisher Grandpa to my 20 year old Lopi Liberty (it's has a 2500 ft. sq. rating.) 3.5 cords per year. The lopi is dbl. burn wood stove.Just prefer wood to propane, oil, or gas and electric. Dry heat makes me spoiled.Would appreciate any input, and as an aside - have you looked into magnetic temp. guage to make sure you don't end up with creosote build-up in your pipe. Even db;. burn stoves shouldn't have that much smoke in the pipe if burning at proper temp like 500 degrees safe temperature.
Well Bill......We installed my Grizzly this last weekend. OK, our FIRST mistake was watching your "old" video on installation! LOL LOL That being said.......I had purchased the DOUBLE WALL flue......we figured it out with some "outside the box" thinking but it's in and it's awesome. I also got an EcoFan per your recommend AND of course the tool kit which is now mounted near my little wonder. I had PM'd you about "wood amount needed" but I think (?) hope and pray I have enough AND the man who installed it is like a brother to me.....HE went out and purchased the wood splitter you use because he has a full size stove in his pole barn. So.....big THANKS all around. I love my stove and thank God for letting me discover your video's AND Elizabeth is one of my favorite people EVER and your dad is just amazing. May God bless you all!
So glad it's working out for you! Sorry about the "old" installation video.
That's OK my dear friend! WE GOT IT ...... and you two are in ARUBA and I am so happy for you! God bless you always (and the lovely Elizabeth) .... Thank you so much for your help and suggestions!
My eventual granny flat will be about 450 sq. ft., so I'll need something a little bigger. I'll have a heated slab floor, but I'd like a woodstove for backup. I was the sole keeper of the woodstove for about 25 years in our log house. Wood was our only heat source, so I was always stoking that regular size woodstove night and day, belching smoke when I opened it. My hubby did throw in logs occasionally, but he worked and everyone slept soundly at night, except me, so I did it mostly. This looks pretty cinchy! I like a previous commenter's idea about finding scraps from someone who makes pallets. :)
I love this little cartoon at the start of your videos for the Tiny Home!! And the little charactures look like you all!! Along with kitty!! I think when ppl draw smiley faces it looks like themselves!
😁
@@LiveSimpleLiveFree your little smiley face has your smile!!
Such a wonderful stove. Lovely home. I love it. God bless you both.
BOUGHT ONE! Can't wait to try it out in my tiny airstream! Thanks guys!
If you first cut across the grain into the short pieces you require, the splitting will take care of itself. Just a thought. Thanks !
Zackly. Thought the same. Any splitting could be done with a small hatchet. No need for a splitter.
it was almost a year ago now but thanks for taking the time. Kimberly who do wood burners do a lamp that goes with it. can be used on any hot top stove. a lamp that gives instant free light via the heat plus charges the internal battery so you can uae it else where. it also has usb so you can charge phones and laptops from the lamp. see a guy on a van dwelling channel review it. may be worth you looking it up. free light and free battery charge from the wood you are already enjoying the heat from. a tip for you for taking the time for us
I'm familiar with Kimberly. I've looked at their website many times. But I've never heard of a lamp like you describe. I looked at their site again and I don't see anything like that. If there is any more info you can find, I am very interested in this.
yea sure I had to have a think of who it was that I see review. look up a van dweller on youtube called JUSTINCREDIBLETV he has a class C. with a wood burner he does a vid giving this lamp a good review. and gives full links to where to get them. two types of the same lamp one with the battery bank that can do as I explained above. plus a cheaper one that's a lamp only free light that only works when on the stove. the other one stays on when off the stove. when off stove runs via the free charged battery bank. I think you will like it and can see it would come in usefull to you guys. check it out let me know. wish I could do you a link but I aint got the knowhow
I was looking at saving up for a Kimberly for my 29' fifth wheel, but the PRICE is an issue. The Mini Cub is approximately a 10th of the cost, IS a gassifier wood stove and will heat my rig at a fraction of the cost.
i agree they are nice but out of most peoples price range. mine too. but that lamp charger looks awesome. would work on any flat top stove. 29th fifth wheel I'm going to take a big step back and read that again wow
I am actually subscribed to JUSTINCREDIBLETV, but I have not seen that video about the lamp. I'll have to go check it out, thanks. It was from him that I first learned about the Kimberley.
found the manual log splitter at Harbor Freight tools website. It costs a whopping $114, the gas powered ones can cost 1K or more.
Yup. It works for me. I love my little log splitter.
Thank you for the thorough, well done review of the stove and wood preparation routine. Someone suggested bio-bricks but I don't think you can use them in the tiny wood stoves. What I remember being told when I had a small stove is that they burn too hot. They also are expensive compared to wood and have to be kept dry.
+H. Bird I don't know about the heat, but I have assumed that they would be too expensive. Those kinds of "fake logs" are fine if you just burn a weekend fire at the cabin. But if you heat with them full time like we do, cordwood is the cheapest - especially if you cut and split it yourself rather than buying it.
so very happy you made this video and showed this stove ! i have been looking fir an affordable stove that wasnt too big . I have a nice double wide but have been so broke i have spent 6 winters without propane heat my first year here in this house i spent 800 dollars for the fuel and was out by march and just using portable electric heaters in rooms being used mainly in bedrooms which can be tricky in coldest months since pipes freeze easy in the coldest months despite the heat wrap on them . why i used the electric is because i can make a payment plan with electric company and pay a smaller amount but not with a propane supplier. I am hoping i can buy this i priced them around 600 dollars which i might not be able to afford for a year or 2 but still this is a great option to consider thanks for the info.
There's a video here on RUclips that shows how to use old papers for making a kind of kindling for burning in wood stoves. Of course the pieces of paper kindling is for a larger stove I'm sure that you could probably make the size that you would need for your small stove. It uses junk mail and a few other things to make it work. I hope that you and your wife will look into this process for your little stove. Good Luck!!!! Love all of the video's they are very informative and helpful.
+Yvonne Luke I've seen the video. It's something that I hope to try eventually.
I hope that it helps. :-)
Thanks for the review. I bought one at Christmas and hope to install it into T-Rex this summer. T-Rex is our lifted, 4x4, camper van. I have hardly any clearance to work with so will be pushing the envelope greatly.
+VanoRama RV Before you install it, be sure to watch my new video "Maintenance requirements" if you haven't seen it yet. ruclips.net/video/NmBks8i8vxQ/видео.html
And I think you have done a good job on the installing and go you know if THAY deliver to Ireland regards stephen
Excellent presentation. I enjoyed your review very much. I only recently discovered these tiny stoves and most are extremely expensive, the Kimberly wants almost $4,000. Did not like the idea that I may have to feed it wood every hour or so but you reminded me that the electric furnace kicks in if we do not feed the fire. So I am aiming to purchase one this coming late Summer to be ready by Fall. Those little tools were the cutest. Elizabeth seems to enjoy poking around that little fire box. I really think the smallness and cuteness of this stove is a big draw, but of course it is very functional.
Hey, thanks for sharing. Lol.
You guys are great! God bless you two and thanks for the helpful videos. Bills install was very simple. Gonna try to find one for my Class B rv. Thanks again.
I'm so glad you are happy with the stove, I saw a little one like I'm getting in a tiny house in a van (truck probably about the size of the smallest flatbed truck - it's difficult translating British truck sizes to yours but this thing was amazing it had a shower and composting toilet and the bed was above the cab. Seeing a similar stove to the one I'm getting in there put a lot of fears to rest. Its small (not quite as small as yours but has the flat top so you can boil a kettle or something.
I think yours is beautiful but for my first while in the tiny house I'm not going to be able to afford solar (we can get grants but I will have to have given up my flat in London which I can't do due to commitments for a year or so) however I am going to be spending a lot of time in the tiny house as I have to build an extension to the initial kit build with real trees! I have a portable sawmill which I have to get aquainted with too! I intend to get the kitchen, bathroom and loft in the kit bit then extend into a living space (we don't need planning as its on our ex forestry land and pretty isolated, so its going on concrete piers, posts with rebar that are sunk into the ground and made level) so I need to be living in the initial part as soon as possible so I am not under my sister's feet all the time. She's roughly a half mile away as the crow flies. But I saw this portable solar charger for my phone, and tablet and have a Dutch oven and am sure I'll survive the first little while as long as I have heat (and I have literally thousands of trees that blew down in the storms for firewood and building. .its mostly Sitka Spruce, my sister had a couple of beautiful beech trees that got blown down and she was heartbroken so I have to give them a wide berth unless once I get some experience with the mill I can make her something to cheer her up and help her remember the trees positively). I am enjoying your videos so I am off to look some more.
Again, I am really pleased the mini stove is working well for you as I have been through the nightmare of condensation (butane in my case) and it's horrible. Ok good luck and I will update you when I get mine going (Scottish weather conditions permitting lol!).
Excellent wood splitter! Love the mini wood stove!
Very nice stove and nice folks too. Thanks for the videos and ideas.
If you have ever watched any of the narrowboat videos from the UK, they make a heat driven fan, it works buy heat rising off the stove & there is an induction motor that the hotter the fire, the faster it turns. They really help move the heat around.
Thanks, we're already planning to get one of those before next winter.
if you added a small fan blowing from near the ceiling in the room with the stove towards the bedroom you would get better distribution of heat. It really doesnt take much to push the heat around, but it does take a little while.
Excellent video. I was able to find all the things you used easily. I subscribed and looking forward to seeing more
You guys are so cute together!
Talk to your firewood supplier, often times they have the "odds & ends" pieces that are shorter than 16" and often discard them as unsalable. Also any saw mills in your area? They also have the same and you may be able to obtain it very cheaply, worth the try!! We call those "ice house stoves" in NW Wisc as they get used a lot in our "winter retreats".
Bill and Elizabeth, great little woodstove. Back in the 70's I heated with an air tight stove and Bill your right it too almost two cords of wood to heat the small house. Is the top big enough to put a small kettle of water on?.
+Susan Smith This stove has a really nice looking little brass trim around the top. We really like it, but it was in the way of a pot. So I took it off. Now the stove isn't quite as charming, but we can now put our old fashion coffee percolator pot on top of the stove.
I know it's a couple years late here, but look for the heat activated wood stove fans. You would just set it on top of the stove and the heat of the stove powers the motor of the fan and it will quietly and gently help move the air through the trailer. Just a thought.
Yup, we’ve had one for several years and we love it! 😀👍
Where is the intake? A common issue is the air escaping the flew must be replaced by air coming in from somewhere. This made stoves and fireplaces counter productive as it pulls frigid air in any and all tiny cracks around the dwelling, until some one installed a dedicated intake for them. Being I did not see the intake on the last video during the install I am left with that question.
i have an idea for you. talk to a cabinet maker near you and see if you have get his off cuts of hardwood. that should get you into the size you will need to the stove. a lot of time they will give you them for little to no cost.
That's an interesting thought!
Thanks for showing us how to use the manual log split. I have always wonder how easy it is to use one. It seemed to be effortless in using.
+munchichi8 I did the old axe (maul) for years. But at 59, I just don't have the energy for that anymore. This log splitter is easy to use. And it seems slower than an axe, but with an axe I have to stop to rest a lot. With the splitter I can just keep working, so it takes about the same time, with less energy.
How about putting a small fan somewhere in the house to move the warm air to the back of the house? I also remember that you have an electric heater in the back near the back door. Those flat electric heaters are the ones that I will buy when I need to do it.
+Betsy Oman I'm looking at several options for fans, but haven't decided yet. Even without a fan, heat still seems to get to the back. We like the bedroom cooler for sleeping anyway, so it works out well.
Good stuff! Looks like i may have found my stove for the house! Thanks for posting the video!
What works good for fire wood also is I go to menards and I just get a bundle of 8ft 1×1's and I just cut em up into small pieces, cheap 2×4's work really good too. Its pine so it will burn faster but its super simple and cheap.
we just purchased one for our sailboat that we live on 365... the diesel stove was just giving me massive headaches i'm sure this is a better option. oh Greetings from South Eastern Ontario
Sweet. can you heat water on the woodstove. Is there room? I have to handle 7 cords of wood, stacking, hauling, and what a mess wood makes. I'm getting near 80, wondering if I'll be able to continue. But, there isn't anything like the heat coming off of the woods stove! Enjoyed the installing the unit, and the follow-up. Well Done~
Two questions - how much of that cord do you expect to use this winter? Also, can you use the compressed bricks ( basically, giant wood pellets ) in that stove?
+Jollyprez For January and February we have used about 1/2 cord of wood. I expect to get through a winter with only ONE cord of wood! A large stove would use MANY cords if you burned it all the time like we do. Yes, you can use compressed logs or bricks, but I think they would cost CONSIDERABLLY more than cordwood does. Their website says you cannot use pellets.
I love what your doing. I would like to do it to someday. Thanks for the videos.
its nice to see all the cool ideas yall come up with to do stuff in a small space. and seeing this wood stove be so small and it put out so much heat is nice. its nice to see a well built small item work so well. and its size works so well. do yall have pets like a cat? if so how do they deal with the stove being on and hot? i hope yall haven't had an incident where the cat jumped up on it to want to sit on it. i have a newer younger cat that is jumping up on the counters in the kitchen and other stuff to check things out and im nervous that he would jump on the stove on any of that is on and hot.
That splitter was awesome, good to have things that don´t break and don´t need gas. How do you se to that the burner doesn't´t take upp all the air?
Hello, I just purchased and installed a cubic grizzly wood stove after watching your reviews. I just had a few questions...
1. Did you cure the paint by running it the first time outside and did it produce smoke when it cured? We have not lit ours yet (still rather warm here) and I really don’t want to take it out to cure it outside if I don’t have to..
2. Can you explain in a little more detail how the vents work and how to operate them.. I’m new to wood stoves. We live in a 37 foot camper and really hoping this cuts down on how much propane we use to heat in the winter. Thanks!
That mini manual hydraulic wood splitter is epic, the whole thing is very efficient. Thank you.. Where did you guys buy the stove & the tools please?
How many pieces of wood do you use, and how long does it burn?
Nice video. what about using pellets?
I love that manual splitter!!
You can go around where loggers been cutting hard wood and the leave behind the spindly tops and big heave limbs that will be perfect cut in 2 foot lengths more or less and just cut pucks with the chop saw.
You should get one of those thermal fans I believe they call it and put on/over stove to circulate the heat.
Already have one. 😀 And several videos about it.
suggestion for a video if you haven't already done it.... maintenance and cleaning for the stove/chimney... ash/soot removal... etc.
+Debby Kellis Already planned. It will be coming in the next few weeks. Thanks for the suggestion.
great video thanks well done and it was very informative. Thanks for sharing. Thinking about getting one, but not this year yet.
just a thought...how would a small fan work in tandem? if it were positioned on that wall heat shield to the left, blowing across the top, it might do well. just a thought
What regulations did you have to deal with in your state? I know with Mobile Homes, there are different regulations that 'normal' homes, such as requiring fresh air intake, extra clearances, et.. Are RV's under those regulations? I know each state is different, I'm just not sure where to start looking. Great site... I look forward to learning a lot from you!
I have a woodstove in my 59' camper, no other heat source and my camper is a 8x14 so half the size of yours.i love my woodstove, but it does go out couple times a night, so every few hrs im getting up to start it again.
+2000talon WE have electric baseboard heat that kicks in for a few hours at night when the woodstove goes out. We burn about 18-20 hours a day.
Ok how much is stove and how often do you have to feed it the chunks of wood? Can't imagine you would get along burn time out of 2-3 chunks so are you feeding stove every half hour? That's a lot to commit to
Any problems with excessive creosote build up? thanks
Fantastic splitting demo and Liz's comments on how easy it is for her, what about the floor, how do you keep it warm, my feet are always freezing with the propane heater. I wear slippers with a rubber sole, but it's still cold. Great review. Thanks so much, I subbed and liked, I'll share too!
+laurie m We have well insulated skirting around the house. And yes, we do wear "warm fuzzy" slippers, but we find that the floor surprisingly just doesn't get that cold.
This stove has no exhaust pipe damper? Might keep heat in and burn longer .. thoughts?
This stove has some creosote issues because it doesn’t burn hot enough (300 degrees) to burn up all the creosote, because it’s so small. It does have dampers on the air vents, but I cannot close them at all. I must burn the stove WIDE OPEN to keep it burning as hot as possible to help control the creosote.
I have a regular sized stove and I love it. I really like the mini one too, I'm thinking about where I could fit on haha
Will wood pellet wok in that mini stove?
Try warming cups of water for tea or put a couple of foil wrapped potatos on it.
Thanks
Yea!! Happy for you!!!
Very helpful video, thank you! One question though: how are you going to clean the chimney pipe?
From the roof. Take the rain cap off of the flu pipe, and run a cleaning brush down from the top. Here is our Cubic Mini wood stove playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLD231j5QApVI-bG2XWKWt9-k9xnzV_opZ
Fantastic little stove. do you feed it whenever you get up at night to go to the bathroom? We used to do that at my parents cabin in the winter, (Canada) feed first, and check when done in the bathroom. could you use a bungee cord or spring to retract the ram on the splitter?
+iceman22st It has to be fed once every hour because it is so small. If not, it's dead cold in three hours. It doesn't last the night. We burn it from about 6 AM til midnight, then stoke it before we go to bed. We have electric backup heat that kicks in for a few hours when the stove goes out at night. The splitter is already spring loaded the retract the ram.
Thanks for the review. Mine is on it's way. Looking forward to using it and doing my own review. I am guessing I will like it as you do. You should do a separate wood splitter video. I think my Harbor freight splitter video is my most viewed video.
+Fernbark Frist I've got a video "How to cut and split wood without power."
Oops. My bad.
At about 7 minutes, the chimney is in the background. Does this stove always smoke this much?
Love your videos !!!
God bless you both !
Talk to your local hardware stores, and maybe even local wood mill plant, sometimes they will give away little chunks of wood like that for free. But the may charge you a little, but its worth not having to split and cut it down to size. And they even may set aside a trash can or two full of those little wood chunks.
Thank you! I am almost into year 3 of RV living. My first year I had a huge moisture issue.....year 2 I had 200.00 monthly electric bills (winter) and part of this winter I was able to be in a house....right now I am back in the RV waiting on spring.....this fall when the nights/weather turn colder I WILL have a cubic mini woodstove in my RV! I have written to the company and they are excellent to talk to and deal with. I will be ordering my stove and yes, the tools within the month? My best friends husband will install it for me this summer. God bless you both and I love all your video's and am going to start watching the ''tea with Jesus'' video's......I found you recently and need to catch up. CAN I ASK 1 THING? Have you switched out your flue to the double walled now? IF SO......ANY ISSUES WITH CREOSOTE? Thank you for your time!
We have just received some double wall flue, but we have not yet had a chance to change it out. At this point, it probably won't happen until summer, since winter is almost over. I expect, though, that the double wall will eliminate most of the creosote issues because it will keep the gases inside the flue much hotter. I'm hoping that with the double wall, we will be able to damp the stove down a little at night to make it burn a little longer. Right now we have to keep it wide open to burn as hot as possible to try to control the creosote. I will do a video on the new double wall flue, but it won't be until next fall after we get it installed and use it for awhile.
THANK YOU so much for taking the time to answer me! You and Elizabeth are my RV living guides and I felt so blessed to find you. Due to your experiences I am going to also get the grizzly stove. Mine will be installed this summer and next winter will be SO MUCH better. God bless you both and keep you safe in His hand!
We love our Cubic. The only challenge (besides the creosote, which I think the double wall will take care of) is that we have to process the firewood into 6" pieces. That takes a lot of extra work. But it is AMAZING to actually have a fireplace in an RV! And it keeps us nice and cozy. It's good that you have electric backup heat because the Cubic will not always be burning since the burn time is only a couple of hours.
With your recommendations I will get the Grizzly and like you do set my free standing heater on a setting to come on when it gets cold enough. I am ''catching up'' on your video's. I am a disabled woman in her early 50's and this will be the summer I will follow Elizabeth's advice and get rid of the extra and keep it simple. Thank you again.....I also will be using the double wall flue and I have all summer to cut my firewood and if I work at a little at a time I will be winter ready by fall. God bless you both and I look forward to your next video. OH! I will also have an Ecofan! Duh.....excellent video on that as well.
Has using the wood stove instead of the propane heater solved your condensation problem?
+Maureen TheTemp Absolutely. In fact, as soon as we stopped using the propane and starting using electric heat (while we were waiting for the stove to arrive) the condensation problems stopped. So it was definitely the propane that was the problem.
Great video, very nice stove choice. I process my wood like you and find no one talks about this aspect of a mini-wood stove. love it! for exercise, I use an axe yet I am very careful. Mght find a manual wood splitter like yours... Thanks again!
How long do the 5 3/4" pieces of wood last? Is the house warm in the AM?? I love how you end with God Bless You.
+Charles Michael Because the stove is so small, there is not much wood mass. It needs to be stoked and every 45-60 minutes. if not, it's out in about 3 hours. So no, it does not last through the night. We burn it about 18 hours a day. The electric heat kicks in when the stove goes out.
10 degrees out and SEVENTY FIVE in your camper??!!! Pretty impressive. Thanks for the vids!
+Rude Nasty 😊 Ten degrees below zero.
Wow! Lived in the deep south all of my life and I STILL am not used to the heat. We get occasional cool weather and a while back I got suckered into an electric heat pump (they're a joke) Great concept-a way to keep running a compressor during the cooler months so the power company can keep on kickin' my tail. I can't stand hot air blowing so a wood stove is just what the doctor orders for me & mine. Will find one just right for our little house/something for our 1300 sq feet. Won't need a big one at all.
You could use wood briquettes which are really easy to break up and burn hot.
Nice! You ever thought of using recycleable briquettes, out of paper and saw dust?
To bad you didn't show ash cleaning.
In the city its mandatory to have a converter to reduce smoke pollution . So when the air quality gets bad they prohibit burning !
And that’s one of the many reasons we don’t live in a city!
does the mini stove come with all the piping and the back shield and the hanger and the outside flu or are all of these extras and you have to pay for them as well.
They are all extras. You can see them all on their website. www.cubicminiwoodstoves.com
Use the chop saw to cut across the wood. Then a light hit with an axe or maul will easily split. The manual log splitter wouldn't be needed. Sell it and buy a sawzall. You'll find processing wood with a sawzall is relatively fast.
Awesome video thank you guys so much Army Ranger
