I’m a commercial and residential painter. I would recommend Vulkem polyurethane caulking around the boot . I find that silicone starts to deteriorate quickly. You guys are awesome!
Love that your Handyman Dave uses inherited tools from his Grandpa. That makes me so happy.
I seriously LOVE that you did a wood stove in your Scamp. I have a wood stove in my home and there is something so primal about being able to heat your home from burning wood. I love it. Before we stopped travel full time in our 29 foot RV, we wanted to install a wood stove. Now we are building an off road teardrop to be able to get way out in the back country on shorter trips throughout the year.
ADD A SOAPSTONE ON TOP OF STOVE!!!
It will provide mass and hold heat for disbursing after fire goes out in middle of night.
There are several places online to buy soapstone, and stones that size are available in lots of locations as you travel.
I recommend getting two small thick stones and CAREFULLY drill holes to match stove top bolt holes and bolt down so they can’t slide around, and to cut out so stones go around base of chimney. This way it will look like stove was designed for it and you won’t have to worry about stones sliding around. Don’t tighten bolts, instead use locking nuts and loctite because you don’t want stones cracking as stone and metals change as they heat and cool...
Love this addition, wood stoves are AWESOME! (And dry heating beats the condensation of propane all day long).
Love the Shiba Inu, mine died last month, she was seventeen...
Thanks this quick look at your install! Those stoves are just too stinking adorable! I hope your pipe arrives SOON!
Well produced, great voice. Immeasurable to have handy friend. Looks like you're having a great life.
That's amazing. I've used woodstoves the majority of my life, and I never knew they came that small
I grew up using a wood burning stove in our home and love the smell. I can remember my mom putting a stew to cook all day on the stove. Our
dog used to love sleeping behind it because it sat in the middle of the living room and dining room. This really brought up a lot of fond memories.
Your stove is so cute. I bet the pup will love it this winter.
Love the install!! I love using wing nuts to expedient the removal of items like your stove!! Thanks for share!!
I installed my cubic mini grizzly stove in my finally finished vintage off grid 28 foot Avion by myself exactly the same way a year and half ago. Almost exactly the same way. Nice video
Thanks for sharing. I’m too old to live as you do and yet I’m able to live through your eyes. Greetings from Texas
Dave has skill that he shares, he us a gem.
Awesome! 👍 Can't wait to see it in full action!
So exciting that the stove is installed! Congratulations! May it keep you warm and bring much comfort!!
Hey guys, I’m so excited for y’all! The stove looks like it’s coming along amazingly! I hope everything works out, good luck.
Very exciting! Can't wait to hear what you think of it. I would have cried, too!! Happy travels!
I'm glad your friend was very confident cutting into the fibre glass and not falling through when he was sitting on it!! We have a molded fibre glass trailer as well, and they're definitely not meant to be walked on. Awesome times ahead! 👍🏼😜
Ahh really excited for you guys! Ya'll are going to have a nice, cozy winter. I was contemplating getting a mini stove for my teardrop trailer so I will be following along to see how you guys like it.
Thanks for this! We camp in an old Trillium trailer and are thinking about heating strategies so we can extend our camping season.
You guys make me so glad for my home I have.
But just watching is so enjoyable and it's like I know you.
God bless you all.
Excited for this - I have planned from the beginning to eventually put one of these in my build - and since my van is a fiberglass shell, I'm interested in seeing what you do for the the install in your fiberglass Scamp!
I cannot imagine the stress of seeing a HOLE cut in the ROOF of your HOUSE. It turned out so good and I can only dream of how much it'll change your winter experience!
I don’t know why but I love that you mentioned the jigsaw was passed down from his grandfather. Like… I know it’s not relevant to the install but you included it anyway. It melted my teeny heart.
Lindsey S first thing I thought was how awesome to have grandpa’s tools. I don’t know why but it gave me the feels.
Do you think that stove would be ideal for hot tent camping?
Very cool guys! The premier launch thing was also very cool! So excited to see how it goes! Good luck!
So glad you guys have almost got your mini stove installed. If I could send heat to you through RUclips I would🔥, but at least you have a fur baby to keep you warm. Thanks for sharing all the information as always. 👍😁
What a nice little piece of equipment! Can't wait to see some cooking on that little stove-top. Hope the stove keeps you nice and toasty.
Wonderful that with the help of your friend Dave that the cold temperatures outside won't chill you two inside of the Scamp. Kamp will be cozy too.
Thanks for sharing. Now I want to buy a camper with wood stove. You guys rock and living the life! God Bless!
Thanks for sharing your experience with installing a small stove. I love stoves and would love to have one again.
First time I've seen this being done, thank you I really enjoyed watching you have a very informative style and you don't waffle like some , and you all seem so nice i hope you enjoyed making this as much as I enjoyed watching.👍
When it comes to stoves, ideally you want to arrange for a cold air intake, ie an air intake on the side or the bottom of the vehicle, so the stove can draw its combustion air straight from the outside, and then exhaust the smoke through the chimney. Doing that means the stove doesn't draw air from the inside of the space, and minimizes air movement towards the stove. Without a cold air intake, the stove takes inside air to fuel the combustion - that's not a hazard or anything, but it means that the furthest corner from the stove will be much cooler than the air near the stove, because there will be constant low speed airflow from the furthest corner towards the stove, instead of the warm air circulating throughout the trailer. You may want to put a quiet low noise 12 volt fan above the stove to blow air along either the front or the side of the camper to force the air to circulate around the van.
Croft, you are exactly correct. Exterior combustion air is the most effective and safest method. It will also reduce possible CO2 or Carbon monoxide safety concerns. For the fan, there are units available that contain a thermal dielectric material, the fan sits in top of the stove and rotates with no electrical requirement like a 12 v battery.
@@tedlemoine9829 Good tip on the thermal fans, sounds ideal.
The advantage of not drawing in cold air directly from outside for the combustion is that it will help pull out moisture from inside of the small space. Every time you breathe out you're expelling moisture through your breath and that small of a space, two people put out quite a bit of humidity which can condensation on the windows and then cause mold issues.
@Derek Post I kind of disagree, and I've read of people who experienced it in a van. They had no cold air intake, so the stove used the inside air, and by definition that means air flowing towards the stove and then out the chimney. Since the air next to the wall is going to be cooler than the air next to the stove, this means a constant slow flow of cold air from the sides towards the stove. But yes, fans to circulate the air will largely alleviate the issue, I'm sure.
I saw another video from a 'van dweller' who used a marine stove (Dickinson, I think) that has a double walled stovepipe, to take in outside air in through the outside ring and exhaust through the middle pipe. It was a propane stove. I think I've seen others that use wood or wood pellets.
I just love this! I look forward to all of your videos. You and Barron are truly inspiring. Our goal is to be RV living soon. Can't wait to see your next video! ❤
Wow, this looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the process. You guys will be so cozy!
Wow,that lil stove looks AWESOME.thank u for sharing 👍
Nice looking little stove, don't forget to get a fire extinguisher just in case. Safety First.
Plus, Carbon Monoxide & Smoke detector.
This is so cool!!! Glad you guys have a way to stay warm and man that stove is soooo cute.
What a cute little stove!! A great idea too. Nice dry Heat for those cold days & nights. Keep up the great videos!
An awesome little stove / awesome !!!! Nice warm and cozy in camper now..Thanks for sharing info on it
How exciting! Can't wait to see it in use 😀 hope it will keep you warm guys! 😙😚
What a great little stove! 😍 Nice install, too, great set-up you have!
Your scamp and mini cubic woodstove are so cute,it always looks homely and cosy in the scamp,may you have many warm winters you luvly couple,and let's not forget Kamp warming his little toes at bedtime!
Ohmygosh!, How exciting!!! I Love wood stoves!!! So excited to see how this improves your nomadic life!!! ❤️

Loving all you do as always best of luck with the stove. Not being from the states I didn't realize what a cult following Scamp trailers had been on their factory website I did like the 19-foot fifth wheel with the loft bedroom even though fifth wheel trailers are very rare in the UK. You also have fiberglass Oliver trailers which are very similar to the scamp. The nearest in construction in the Uk is fiberglass Freedom caravans from Poland. Well here's to you all, wishing you peaceful vibes and happy times as always.P.S. Still recovering from your steak video man that was the best!!!
We have a wood stove at my parents house and we cooked on it all winter when I was a kid. I was hoping you would be able to do that with yours, but I thought it was too small. I am happy to see you were able to adapt it for that purpose. I am looking forward to see you using it this winter! Thanks for sharing😊
my stepdad has one of those campfire burger/steak cooking tools. my parents have cooked steak in their woodstove in winter and its the best :)
Mary Hines - Nothing beats cooking on a real wood fire. Real smoke flavoring can't be beat.
This is going to work awesome! - I look forward to seeing it actually in action on a cold evening. I like the extra safety of being away from the wall and a nice heat reflector in back. One thing I was thinking about is ambers when you go to fill a stove that is burning hot. The two of you will need to be diligent with that.
Yikes - that was my Dad voice coming out :+)
My husband was just about to order this same stove. Thanks for the video on the parts u got with it. ✌️
Now that is freaking awesome, never knew a stove came so tiny. Lol. Elsa, your face during the roof cut looked so sad, but i bet your extemely happy now. Camp on.
Love it! Mad props to Jillian and Dave.
I have just recently found your channel my husband and I are preparing to become full time RVing we have bought our RV and have been living in it we have had a few set backs dew to health but recently found out my health is stable and it’s safe for me to begin our journey one of our last things to do was install a wood stove as we want to also start becoming off grid as much as possible we will never be able to be completely off grid as I’m on oxygen but our RV has a generator and we will be getting solar panels you’re channel gives me hope that this is all possible we both enjoy watching your videos looking forward to more
Great info..!! This will open up a whole new set of adventures for you... Congrats..!!
The stove looks great! Can't wait to see how it works for you.
WOW! Can't wait to see the finished product. Safe Travels.
You cried when he cut the hole so cute. Is that a Dingo nice dog. You will be amazed how warm that stove will make your van, I'm going out on a limb here but that install is so well done you wont have to remove it when you travel, good idea removing the rail, just make sure the van is level when you cook.
Thanks for watching and chatting y’all. Feel free to leave any further questions here in the comments and barron and I will answer them throughout the day! This was so fun!
Hi.. where did you get this mini woodburner.. I'd like one for my van.
How can one buy this stove?
Where did you purchase the silicone rubber boot for the stove pipe?
You all did a great job I've worked on RVs and houses for years I'm an electrician excellent craftsmanship
@@justsomeguy7547 I am not sure if this is allowed or not, but I have one just like that, never been used, that I was about to list for sale. I bought the wrong size opening and the place I bought it from wouldn't take a return. So I have a spare, if you're interested. I also have the right size boot installed now, and so I can say from experience that they work GREAT. You can email me at fiddling dot girl at gmail if you're so inclined.
I've been thinking about buying a Scamp trailer when I found your vlog. You guys are an awesome inspiration for vicarious would-be travelers. Minimalism Rules!
Can you do a Kamp video? Especially a day in the life and history of.
Congratulations on your new source of warmth!!
Kind advice, love it! Thanks for sharing they did say it’s OK to remove the railing on their website for cooking.
We just installed the Cubic Mini in our Airstream. Love it so far. We did go with the double wall 3 inch Duravent. Time will tell if that was the way to go. :)
Was the Duravent a good choice?
@@andreab5865 It’s the only choice if you want the double wall flu pipe. It’s worked fine for us. I would try and have a straight up & down however. Less cleaning.
Thanks for the reply and advice
Great video and information on mini stove. Love your dog!!
I love your lil woodstove!!! CUBIC MINI WOODSTOVE
A few bits of kind advice
- use local wood wherever you are just as you would with campfire wood, it minimizes invasive species damage. If you want to find less expensive wood, ask around to the locals. You might get a discount if you buy more than just a little bundle for making a campfire with.
- you can get a heat powered wood stove fan that sits on top of your stove and as it heats up the fan blade spins, circulating the warm air from your stove. They run on just the heat of the stove. This will minimize hot and cold spots in your home.
- using a mix of green and seasoned (dry) wood will make your fire last a little longer. I grew up with a barrel stove that heated our whole house. There is a learning curve here, but don't worry, you'll get the hang of it soon enough.
- in winter, especially with a wood stove, the air gets really dry. Dry enough to give you nosebleeds. Keep a tea kettle of water on the stove to prevent this and get one of those humidity gauges cuz you really don't want there to be too much moisture in the air either.
Thanks for making this vid!
Thank you for the gem.
We use a Sierra wood stove to heat our entire house, and I couldn't imagine using anything else. While I don't (yet!) have a camper, I dearly want one, and I see them as land-roving sailboats. Thank you for sharing your experiences, and your mini-stove install! It's people like you who give me dreams and ideas, and to that point, I've subscribed to your channel. 👍
Yay! I was looking forward to this video! I always think it’s sooo cool how people can build things. And that stove is ADORABLE btw
I went out searching for a small stove for my truck camper a couple years ago. All I could find was some $4000 job that was way too expensive and not really a good fit. That cubic mini is perfect. Thank you!
Awesome job!!!!
Can’t wait to see how it works. ❤️👍🏼
Bloody BRILLIANT!!! Gotta check this out!! Your friend Dave did an incredible job!!
That Billy Joel moment would have been me 100% through this entire process. Love seeing you guys grow and progress so amazingly!!!
been waiting for this video so patiently, so excited for you guys!
Hello , congratulations to being a wood stove camper old school warm and cozy , now after you install a fire extinguisher , it will be an extra bonus to install a carbon monoxide detector if you have one all ready check your power source make sure its working ,and if you all ready know all this , just be aware the folks that watch you’re videos care about you which is the best thing ,ok so all the best enjoy be safe trucker Kelly :)
I have this in my tiny home!
Would you make a video about how much money you spend on your lifestyle?
Great video! Enjoy them all!
pretty sweet I almost bought a scamp, built a tiny house instead. almost got a lil griz stove too ended up going with a englander full size 500-1200 sq ft. Nice video!
Can't wait to see the stove in action!
Posted on your FB page. Mine has been in for a week in my motorhome! Love it.
Definitely adding this to a must have once I get my RV.
Looks like a great time to come
Visiting the Colorado Rocky Mountains in colder weather, I like it. Installed a larger wood heater in a camper, used a lot of the fireplace rated sheet stainless steel from Lowe's to create a fire safe area for the heater. I know you'll inspect the rubber flute seal on top of the Scamp regularly, especially in summer, they get brittle and crack over time for variety of reasons.
Those boots are silicone, actually, and have a remarkably long lifespan. Far better than rubber.
Great! I have the same stove installed in a 16x12 cabin. Can throw out quite a bit of heat, but it can be damped down effectively too; it should make fo many a cozy night for you guys!
Mendo Myco What people may not realize (since no one has mentioned it) is that the stove needs a regular supply of wood... so that means getting up every few hours (like every 2,5 - 3 hrs) to add wood, IF you want it to heat the trailer all night.
Great setup and installation inside a fiberglass trailer. Very nice work, looks cozy.
That is simply AWESOME!!! Can't wait to see it in action. 😀
"Kind Advise" - You probably already have one, but a fire extinguisher is a must in any type of home. 😉
Rebekah McFarland and carbon monoxide detector.
@@bushcraftnorthof6012 Yes, that too is very important.😊
This is adorable! Can't wait for more videos!
That is the cutest little wood stove I want one for my off grid small cabin.
Way cool guys. love the mini!
these little fireplaces put out an amazing amount of heat for their size...I think you are making a very wise choice by getting one for your Scamp.
Thinking some brick around the stove would radiate the heat back out after fire has died down. Or some smooth river rocks around it that way you don't have to keep the weight in the camper. If you heard this already sorry for the redundancy.
Maybe fire bricks..?? Used to line fireplaces..??
Sounds good so far. I guess you have to wait how it develops while using it. I'm very excited, what you've got to tell us in the future, I study architecture and I love everything constructional in, on or at home ;-D
Nice, have mine in an 18" tt. After about 10 hot fires the smell is pretty much gone. Love it but that smell does suck at first. I've also started using the cotton ball petroleum gell method of fire starters. Works great.
Any new wood stove should have a minimum of one burn Outdoors before installation to avoid any of noxious fumes
I did that with my inside stove before installation, and so glad that I did.
I've been doing roofing since 1977 and never heard of a high heat rubber boot vent stack, I'm impressed
You just can't stop being brilliant, can you? 🙄 Whatever. Guess I'll take the inspiration and try being brilliant myself, er whatever. 🤗 This is awesome, love! -The girls and I want a mini so very badly but the consensus seems to be "ah! Fire!" and "good luck getting insurance for your rig!". 😞 Haven't even started the latter inquiries... WHICH WILL GO SMOOTHLY because that's the energy we're putting out and that's the energy we'll get back. Right? Right. -The bus is sitting right next to my house finally! Today I plan on beginning the rivet and sheet metal removal all my my big girl self! 🙌🏽 Love you, love your videos and grateful for your inspiration and support. Really excited that you found a way to put one of these in. The coziness level is going to skyrocket this winter and they just have this "welcome home" cradling comfort incomparable to anything else. Really happy for you if you can't tell. Lots of love to you both. Thank you for sharing your joys, sweet people. 🏵😘
That is very cool. I had a scamp once and met a lady with a converted short disability bus with a stove. I lived in time shares and they wouldn’t allow a stove - everyone had rubber roofs
This is so cool! I love the look of it, it fits right in :)
That is install is wild in that little area. Hope it works out for you. I’ve debated getting one for a little cabin I have.
Love your little family, love the video
Awesome job yall! Hugs to yall both!
Good job guys! That will work great!
I like the way ur scamp is, new stove yeah!
Very very cool! Thanks for sharing. 👍
Just to let you know for peace of mind, Cubics manual says “rail is easily removable, if you remove the rail you will have a cooking area of 5” to the edge and 11” side to side” so you are good to go and the mini fire police will not arrest you ! X
Thats awesome Elsa I wish you could talk to my wife about living free and self sustaining I've been watching all of your videos the last few days and u 3 are living a dream of mine I don't need much to be happy just freedom. U all are my heros of the simple life ( I know there are challenging things u have to over come but I'm about that life.) Keep up the free life
