This is surely in the top 3 coolest (hottest) items for van / RV living. I will surely buy one. Nothing like watching and feeling of a fireplace when it's a little cold / rainy outside. And for cooking also. Total awesome item THANX.
Thanks for the comparison of the Cubic Mini wood stove (Grizzly)....we installed one a few months ago on our sailboat, and to get it to burn longer we just put a couple of lumps of coal and it burns forever! And kindling...we find we don’t even need it...a fire starter, and some regular smaller bits of wood, but definitely not twigs or splinters, and it lights really really easily. We still need to find the Presto logs. -Rebecca on SV Brick House
I had no idea the ash cleans off the soot so cleanly and easily! Thank you for this tip!!
my mother taught me to use an old newspaper (with a bit of ash) to clean the window, so you don’t have to use your fingers. Works great and afterwords you can use the newspaper to light your stove.
+dutchinnertouch yes that also works if you happen to have newspaper somewhere. I don't have any and I really don't mind a little ash on my finger haha
This is a great video...
I have a wood burning stove "Hack" ...
although I have never done it with this small of a
wooden stove. I used to have a huge 6 bedroom Bed & Breakfast
with 2 fireplaces...
It seems all I ever did was "Fetch" wood, and clean them
out all the time..
One time, I was low on wood... I did have a bag of Briquets...
(the little black things) you cook your Bar-B-Q on...) OHH and yes
I also had had a Bar-B-Q stand once too... anyway, I had put
a layer of FOIL down on the bottom of the fireplace, put the
briquets about 4 to 6 on the bottom and then kindlings on
top of that then the wood...
It was amazing how long it kept warm after the wood was
gone... because the briquets held heat
and since I had put FOIL on the bottom of the floor of
the fireplace, it was easy clean up. I didn't have to get up in the
middle of the night and add more fire...
The few briquets keep the heat going longer...
... I have no idea if you could put one or two in your little stove
but maybe it would be easier to buy that at Wal-Mart than finding
wood all the time... I'd use both if it was me... What do you think?
Such a great little stove. Will probably get one next year. Very convenient for the smaller rigs. Thanks for showing us, Justin!
I just scored one of these stoves like new with the full wall install kit for $175 on craigslist! I am so stoked for my van, my webasto heater that came with it sucks a lot of juice from my solar panels, which have less time to charge in the fall.
Hi Justin! Long time since I've watched one of your videos..miss ya. I'm happy to see you're still around and still videoing...love ya!
I agree on keeping a window cracked a tiny bit, but the stove does not use up the oxygen in the air. It sucks in air and then all of that air goes out the chimney. You want to keep a window cracked ever so slightly so that the air getting sucked in the stove does not create a slight vacuum in the van.
Great draft on the stove! Nothing worse than a smokey stove.
This guy makes some great points!
Awesome video!!!
I'm planing on the grizzly version in a year or 2 when I build my step van I have always loved woodstoves and when I found these I fell in love with them
I like it better than the other one . That's just the side I need for my camper. Thanks I'm always getting ideals from you.
Justin they sell a cleaner that I think is silicone based in the box stores in the fireplace area. It cleans the glass and leaves a clear barrier on the glass and keeps is clean longer and easier to clean. I use it all the time on my stove. It's in a little bottle. One bottle would prob last you a few seasons.
Planning on putting the exact same unit in my truck camper. Very unhappy with the built-in propane furnace as it uses too much propane. Also, want options (have to have options) if I run out of propane. This unit will fit perfectly where the propane heater is now and run the stovepipe through the left side of my clothing closet. I'll add a fireproof wall around the sides and back of the stovepipe. There will be minimal alterations to make this fit. There is nothing like dry wood heat. Thank you for posting this video.
That wood stove is very cute. I bought a Kimberly and love it's sleek style - Had I seen this one before I may have bought it. Off grid is GOOD
Good review, especially love that it can be used to cook. I want to move into a Skoolie someday and this looks like it could be used for heating and cooking in the winter and then use a propane or conduction cooktop in the summer
LOVE THE WARNING ABOUT THE FAN!!!!
spray some PAM or similar cook oil spray on dirty glass, wait a bit, then wipe off with paper towel. Hands stay clean and little loose ash too. Also works for fire starter.
looks really great ! I don't know if I want to keep ask out of my bed but, depends on what kind of ash you are talking about ! You don't ever have smoke in the rv does it ? It's probably pet friendly too ! There is nothing like the heat of a wood stove ! If you are by any cabinet shops you can probably get great pieces if wood !
Your camper van or any rv has a fresh air source always. Your vehicles heater box is always wide open so it can draw from there. Your point about candles is different as it generates CO and it needs an exit and that is why you crack a window.
When I get mine I will just use the wood chip bags they sell at walmart and some kingsford charcoal? What? I love the smell of burning charcoal. Thanks for the vid.
I love the view of your yard in the morning
SOLD! I thought I was set on the Kimberley for my van conversion but this is the way to go.
Really nice. Some much more of an easy way to keep warm.,👍👍👍👍
Big shout out to you when the grid hits the fan this summer. I just put a chat griller and pipe set up out my f150 after work tacos or if I live in the wilderness heat
Thank you for the reference to the marine roof cap! I've been puzzling over options for a stovepipe cap for the build-out I'm planning.
but thanks for your pics I now have the cubic grizzly up and running .
I was for the last 5 years moving into the basement. of the house
now I has wood fire in my 1988 starcraft camper . I was heating with propane but had half inch of ice . not no more . stays a warm 80 above works great thanks
I wasn't sure if you removed a kitchen appliance to place the wood stove. Obviously no. What do you have to cook with when it's warm out? Stovetop, built-in propane oven, mini-microwave, convection oven, toaster oven, etc.?
I current have a 33' class A, but after watching your videos along with some videos from several Southwest US boon dockers, has really got me considering replacing it with a super class B.
With a stand-up shower of course!
Thanks for the info, am always looking for the latest and greatest and best bang for the buck. Am from the East Coast (not Ontario, which some people think down east is), NS. And yes it does get cold here. Rock on!
Thanks friend ☺ I'm retiring in a year and thought I should start buying the wood stove and all the other recommendations you make that wood make my Wan ready to live in. I'm so excited to hit the road. I'll also check out other recommendations you make. I really appreciate your teaching us what works to make the van to enjoy the van living for us newbie. Justin thank you for your time.
I am a social person and worry about making friends with this new van life but it seems like there would be many others in the are to meet with. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with us. You have such enthusiasm and encouragement for us newbies ! Thanks so much
Free tool Kit!! Woo.. That is so Wicked..
Justin, May I poke at You about the total length of Your flue pipe? Cubic's minimum is 3.3ft.. Just curious if shorter has any negative impacts.
Thanks meng! Looks amazing!
Do you ever sleep with it burning? Seriously considering using one in the winter when it's -30, -40 in Canada
gonna have to have just the right wood for this thing. I got a full size Englander, the small one at hd or not large one and it does fine unless it gets below 20 then I gotta keep it constantly packed. if it gets down to 5 or lower then it never keeps house over 55. it was listed as 1200 sqft model but must have based that on outside 32 temp or something and now they list it as 1800sqft. as long as it doesn't get real real cold that often then ur prob ok just maintain furnace for those low nights.
I hope to meet you someday and to let other grandma like my self that it's never to late to live your dream of freedom
Gotta get me one of them, Justin. I like buying USA or Canada made too! Support our local boys.
Amazing way to travel....love this kinda stove.....amazing
On the website, it says a horizontal clearance of 20" is required and a vertical clearance of 30" is required. What exactly does that mean? Does it mean it has to be mounted that far away from a cabinet or furniture?
How come there isn't any smoke coming out of the chimney? I am confused.
Most modern stoves don't really emit much smoke when they're running properly, with clean fuel.
I saw a video on RUclips called house of 3 tents, you should look it up. That's my next move as a minimalist, I've bought 49 acers of land with a large pond just need to start building.
I liked the external air intake on the Kimberly.
Awesome the king of wood stoves you are ....class b perfect....for....seeing fireplace at night cool
man i love this, only wish i had room for my freight to slide past it i would definitely buy one!
What do you do if you have to drive and you have a fire going? Does smoke come in as a backdraft? Or is driving with a fire going a no no.
Great info. I am thinking about putting one in my bus. Thanks!!!
Well done, good choice, looks great, and must be wonderful to have a fire in the van
to clean the glass try a damp paper towel or napkin dabbed in the cold ashes then rub = works Great
Some new woods robes the glass is coated so no ash just winded and paper towel cleans like wood ash on old stoves
I have two comments for you, auwsome and good job. Thanks for the info, bless you.
Great stuff. I only wish my install was that easy but was really pressed for a location. I too had wires in the line of fire. Have you ever tried lighting the presto log from the top and letting it burn down? You might want to try it for a longer burn.
+VanoRama RV the manufacturers of the logs don't recommend that. I tried it once and it didn't work well.
I would want to try to use a charcoal briquete with starting compound on top of the presto log. I would think that should work. If not, I would try the same thing with wood.
We call wood stoves a Bush television here
I’m just not a Kimberly fan, love this stove. Nice video
Justin thank you for all your awesome videos I have been enjoying for a couple years now, and thank you for the KORITFW sticker ordered from you ad asked if you could autograph it for my little girl who is also a big fan of yours, by the way, hope you had a great Thanks Giving holiday, I had in fact, sent an email to cubic mini stoves in regards to shipping costs to my area, for their cubic mini cub, and had to sit for a reply, because of your Canadian Thanks Giving, well I got a reply yesterday, and will order my stove from them tomorrow, I had a question for you though and hope that you can help me out with this, I have a 2000 Ford paravan, used to be a ambulance I have a double walked ceiling, the outer roof then an inner cieking that has an approximate 6" gap between the outer roof and the inner curling, with insulation in between, my question is this, what kind of heat shield do i need to gap the space between these to areas, a sleeve of some sort ? Anyway, KORITFW, and thank you for all you do for us vandwellers.
Question that is sincere...I'm considering this stove but want to know if it smells like burning wood....I am very sensitive to this smell and find it hard to breath comfortably. Plz could you tell me if there is an odor???? Thank you.
Think the Cub would be too much stove for a regular Chevy Express cargovan? Got the Grizzly for the trailer but I have really been considering the Cub for the van.
A couple of questions if I may. Is there fire brick in the base and is the flue single or double walled? Thanks
Hey Justin I was wondering did you go to college or a trade school or any school. Or did you just go into the workforce right away? And I'm curious what industry your job is in. I'm asking because I just graduated high school and I want to do your lifestyle. I just wanted to get some ideas of what I should and can do. Would really help thanks.
Nice vid as always Justin. If you have some stove parts to lose after the stove move let me know. I live in langley and would love to have them for my instal in my restored 77 vandura 22 foot frontier class C.
I have a 85 GMC g2500 coachmen campervan and this small stove would be awesome, however with the top.. being fiberglass, is there heat concerns for the top?
Can you take the ring things on top off...can you cook on top without them?
Hi Justin,Love the stove.
We're getting the grizzly, but need the 3 inch double walled pipe and fittings. Do you have a line on where to get those things? And maybe a brand name of the stove pipe?
I have purchased a Grizzly for my travel trailer. I am having a problem in knowing what fitting I should go through the roof with. I have purchased the Dickinson Marine fittings for the roof side, but my roof is somewhat domed. I want to be sure I have some type of a thimble to keep the chimney straight and away from the opening. Would you have any idea? I have asked Cubic Stove, home supply businesses that sell pellet stove chimney part and even asked Dickinson Marine if their roof cap will handle this problem. No one wants the liability to provide me an answer. I also have to figure out how to keep the chimney straight from the stove while going through the domed roof. Do you have any suggestions for me?
could you elaborate on the LENGHT of the chimney, and where to get the chimney, etc??? for a BT CRUISER..ETC?
You are I think the 4th or 5th person I have seen with a Cubic stove. Love the fact, and I hadn't noted you saying anything about it, but it would seem they are gasifiers. Great way to maximize your fuel. Are you using single or double wall stove pipe with that rig?
Thinking of putting one of these in my DP. Is there any burnt wood smell inside after use?
Hi Justin. I was wondering about condensation issues. Vancouver is cool and moist in the winter- does water form inside on exposed metal? Any advantages from bring air directly from the outside (Kimberley), or moving it through the van for combustion (Cub)?
I have never had condensation issues in all the years doing this, but if I did, I'd want the wood stove...they dry the place out.
Hey I noticed that you have louvers on your windows. Can I ask you how you got them to stick on there. I've used some pretty strong glue but they just fall off after a couple of days. This will be my third time trying to put them on I would like to get it right. I was almost thinking about putting them on with velcro that way I could take them off as well.
Great cubic mini wood stove review Justin !
Great video Justin, thank you for all the info!
Hi Justin,
first thanks for your videos, funny and helpful. I love the cubic stove and wee are thinking of installing one in our sprinter cargo van. My husband and I, also live in Canada and we are planning to move to the West Coast. I bet the stove change the deal completely.
Do you have any troubles with the police for the wood stove? What is the legality of it here in Canada?
How did you get away with your insurance company?
I haven't found any info online about these.
Wood burner ...no brainer ....I think I might lose the will to live if I couldn't have my wood burner 😊😂👍
With wood heat you can source wood even in a urban area and very little effort and cost,just need some sort of saw.
Looks super cozy :-) thank you for the video.
I learned two things. The Cubic mini stove is awesome, and Canada is an actual country. It really exists. Who knew?
Funny. And I’m Canadian. 🤣🤣🤣
having a fire so close to bed is that a problem?
Okay there's a lot of good questions here, and a few of them are already answered in the video, but for the rest I will do a follow-up video answering your questions tomorrow! Please also note: the special offer for the toolkit is temporary, it will be changing to 50% off the toolkit soon. KORITFW
Adding that to my list of needed equipment
your not building a piano!...does it put out the same amount of heat?,,,does it burn more wood? does it cost more than the kimberly... korinfw
Seriously want one or these for my Camper!
Awesome review...looks great. Thanks for sharing!
Het Justin, I am on th eIsland and cross over every month. If you are available I would like to come and meet you and look at tat stove.
I work out of pIT meadows airport where i have a portrait studio. I also travel to AB every month and I am thinking that th eGrizzly might be better for me with a longer burning time in colder climates.
i use an osborne wood stove in my mobule home on th ebeach Just outside of Vic and I love it.
Thanks for the video
FB
I'd like one of those in my van for the winter
What size pipe are you running? Double wall?
One thing they wont cover on the Kimberly either is the cleaning and routine maintenance... I guarantee you that stove is more of a pain in the ass to break down than the Cubic Mini.. Sure its a nice idea till you have to start fixing it.
Does anyone know which is the smallest pellet stove? (if possible: automatic feeding and automatic control temperature).
Dude! You need to put a VODA Heat powered stove fan on top of that sucker!
+Sailing With Vampires I could, but as I stated in the video it's unnecessary in a space this size. Works great as it is.
Have you read "One Second After" by William Forstchen? If not good read!
How long is the pipe from stove to ceiling....
HOW LONG did it take for them too ship stove out ...
"I fill my drawers full of logs" ha ha ha ha. Just so long as you don't fill a Walmart bag full of logs I guess that's OK. I got to tell you. Even though I don't have a use for it out here in the desert, I feel like buying one of those stoves. You wouldn't by chance be employed in sales would you?
Xplorer Steve DIY Haha I was for over a decade, but I only sell what I actually use and enjoy. I have turned down many companies trying to send me crap I have no interest in for RUclips. It has to be something I actually want or already bought. 👍
I am ordering my cubic mini and put it Justintools in discount box and it said not valid. Did I not do something right?
Sorry, as noted in the description that ended on November 15th. :(
How long did it take from ordering until arrived?
Snug as a bug on your leopard rug! Thanks for the review.
would be more beneficial mounted lower down near or at floor level , that way the heat can rise and warm the air lower down .
Makes no difference in a space this small, and if down by the floor it becomes dangerous as it's close to cabinets, bedding, shoes, etc. The whole point of the wall mount is to raise it so the flame is at eye-level. They even sell stands to raise them up, with wood storage underneath as another option.
nice little stove , how much are they ?
Hi, came accros this video about your fire you said it cost arround a $1000 i thought it to be expensive. my quetion is how long would you estimate a $1000 worth of propane would last you run at he same rate you would use the fire, bear in mind no mess, no collecting and storage of logs the cleaning the harm to the enviroment and the fact propane would be instant and cleaner. this in not a put down or an argument it is a real question of economics regards mike.
Well, the propane fireplace I had before costs about the same, about a grand... PLUS you have to buy propane all the time, and wood can be virtually free.
Burning wood is about the most natural thing you can do, I don't consider it "harming" anything. Also, nothing beats the feeling of being independent, and I love the smell of a real wood stove. 👍
I wouldn't care about breaking even in cost. The ambiance alone is worth it in my book.
Very, very nice size unit. good info.............
I have been a wood burner for about 40 years now
Shooot.. I thought the tools were free this whole time.
Did You get the adapter for the Dickinson Deck Fitting?
: cubicminiwoodstoves.com/collections/grizzly-cb-1210/products/cb-3025-ss-adapter-for-dcikinson-deck-fitting
Just curious what it actually does and if I should get it, or not.
Thank You
We are thinking of adding the Grizzly to our '79 Airstream 31'
can you warm food under it were legs are on shelf?
Under? No it's cold under, you mean on top? Sure.
If the Saints in Saints' Row lived in a van it would look like this :'D
What did you go with for the Exhaust Cap?
...I mentioned it in the video and showed it through the roof vent...the standard dickinson
Hi! Are you in Vancouver?? I'm on Vancouver island, near Nanaimo. I love your van man! So jealous:-)
Does your van smell like a camp fire?
TT Travels IT'S LIKE LIVING IN A SMOKER...NO BUGS... NO EXTRA COST...ALWAYS SMELL DELICIOUS...
