You may want to get a damper for the inside pipe. We burned wood for 50 years and my Dad was going through a ton of wood as he got older/colder. We put a damper in and OMG, bet it cut his consumption in half or by 2/3, no joke. People think wood is free if you don’t have to buy it, (NOT!). It’s a lot of work but literally nothing warms you like wood heat. Another hard lesson we learned was to burn seasoned wood. We didn’t do that forever because non seasoned would bank the fire overnight but you don’t realize how much more heat seasoned wood puts off. I’m 62 now, too beat up to heat with wood anymore but fond memories of growing up with our home made, Papa Bear imitation stove and a beanbag chair beside it. Cold outside, come in, lay on beanbag, out like a light, lol. Thanks
You are so right.....we actually installed a damper in the pipe in the next video.....or in the video where we did the first fire.....it helps a ton you are right....nothing better than heating with wood....and doing it effiecently 😉
Yes, I, too, grew up with wood heat being used in our home which sat on three acres of land. My mom had a wood stove for cooking-- wood used to cook with has its own unique aspect to food flavor not realized by gas or electric ranges. That's my humble opinion! Then in 1966, a natural gas line was put in through our County Road, and out went the wood heater and stove. After my mom passed away, I became the owner of the family home and immediately put the wood heaters back on both ends of the home. The wood cooking stove, still in storage, is next! I'm glad I did put the heaters back where they were because natural gas has doubled in price in New Mexico, USA, compared to last year's winter months, as it has in the rest of the U.S. where natural gas is used. I have another home in Albuquerque, NM and I have a wood heater , with flue!, in my Office/Workshop. Now, I'm considering, actually going to put a wood heater/stove in a Great Room in the main house, but didn't want to go through the ceiling and roof for several reasons. That's how I found your off- grid videos. I was weighing going through a window or the wall. Your video on putting the chimney pipes through the wall is the way to go. Both gas and electric utility prices are skyrocketing, and a coal burning generating station was closed by the state of New Mexico. Both utilities are hitting the NM-PRC for rate increases at this writing. I've decided to go off -grid to an extent but not entirely but certainly blend in wood heat for cooking and heating to prevent so much dependance on electric and gas usage. For example, people's natural gas bills doubled from last winter. If your monthly gas bill was $70, now it's $140 -- with same amount of gas used! Electric bills -- the same thing. Gas was the cheaper option but not anymore. Wood will save me money, I know it will because it has before. :) I, too, have a lot of projects going! But, an install of a wood heater/stove combo just bumped up to the top of my to-do list, but installing it with safety features I saw on your video. It's chilly outside, now! Thank you for making these videos. They help quite a bit. God bless. /s/ Robt. 🍊 Albuquerque, New Mexico USA
Great vid, thanks. Thinking a about going off grid ourselves. Just realized I live in Loudon, NH on a dead end dirt road, I guess I am off grid. NH Live, Freeze and Die.
I struggle with how to videos, since I'm kind of learning as I go. I just like to show it being done in real life....as a rookie. Hope it helped some best wishes
I noticed that single wall is cheek level..burned mine as a kid on ours but I know your not accident prone like me so I won't worry about it..lol. Can't wait to see a roaring fire going, good luck!
Some things we have to learn the hard way right?? Lol. All our friends have kids who visit and it's a running joke how non kid friendly our house is.....I say, they'll only touch the woodstove once.
Dont hesitate with adding a woodstove, you will love it. If you shop around used it doesn't have to cost a lot. We installed one at our home ten years ago, literally paid for itself in the first year. Shop smart and wait for a good deal. Best wishes JC.
They have a chimney brush on a long metal extensions that can go up your chimney flue without getting up on your roof or going up a ladder. You need to make sure that your chimney PIPE goes TWO FEET above the ridge of YOUR roof. This will prevent down draft of smoke into your cabin. They do have available metal tie downs for your exterior piping that will attach to your roof and keep your piping stable in high winds. Worth the $$$ (not expensive) to buy the tie downs. Good move on triple wall piping especially where your deck is going to go GREAT JOB!!! Nobody will get burnt if they brush up against it.
1948 8n, she runs and works like a pro. She is in a lot of our videos getting things done if you do back and watch a few of the older ones. I'm happy with the stove, im sure your friend will like it too. Thanks for watching and being here.
Ok, I gotta know how old Ben is. What a great dog. Hopefully he's able to to kind of train little timber a bit. Great video. I like how you guys keep it real. Thanks!
Ben is thirteen and a half. We have had Timber for.a year now and he is teaching him to love us and trust us, but he is still a bundle of energy. Glad you appreciate our style, I know it works for us and I hope it continues to keep you all interested. Thanks for following along.
@@OffgridwithJayandJen We also have a blood hound named Chester besides our chocolate lab, Winston. I tell you what, I would take the worst chocolate lab over the best blood hound. They are dumber than a box of rocks. Lol Chester is only 1 also.
Lol, that must be why timber is stubborn, his mom was a chocolate lab, but his dad was some kind of hound....maybe beagle, but hound either way. They have a mind of their own sometimes.
At 8:30 when you slide the first section of class A pipe into the thimble what holds that snug in there? I have mine going in now and it looks like it slides into the adapter maybe a half inch but it does but up against the inner thimble portion. Hope makes sense. Seems wobbly how it is
I think I follow you, I felt the way you did about that connection or union as well. I believe my kit came with this extra coupler pipe, believe it was stainless, and I sort of forced it inside that union. I'm not 100% sure it was meant to be that way, but it created a solid inner liner for that spot. I hope that makes sense. Sorry I didnt get any footage of that step, having no REAL directions that showed that made it a but difficult.
It is held in by the rest of the setup not being able to move, it slides into the stainless steel inner tube that the black stovepipe slides into from the other side. I thought the same thing, but I realized that there isn't a way to get access to it once you slide it together. Make sure you use 3 screws per pipe! Very important! Look up "wood stove back puff"
What did you do to get the pipe away from the roof? How far does the pipe need to be away from the roof? What did you use on the walls around the stove to keep it from burning the wood around the stove? Besides keeping it a certain distance away from the walls? I'm trying to install a small stove in my garage that's not drywalled yet. Sorry for so many questions but I'm new to this.
We have a wood stove Playlist that shows all the stuff I did shortly after this video. Distance is the most important factor to safety, but I ended up using metal with a gap behind and tile underneath. Had to buy a 12 inch pipe rather than the 9 inch that came with the kit to push the whole exterior stuff farther from the cabin. If you go on our channel page you. Can find the wood stove Playlist and see what else I have done with the area I'll try to put a link in the next reply. ua-cam.com/play/PLKURa6vtPai6LPZuHbcRGHbqsEHgBKUzT.html
I have a 20 foot vertical pipe running straight up to the roof ridge and when I open up the vent on a hot load I get burning cinders that fly out the top . Would putting a 45 degree pipe block those burning cinders from coming out the top ?
@OffgridwithJayandJen yes its like a Roman candle . It's not a issue since I have a metal roof . I need to re locate the stove to come out a wall instead of the roof . ( I'm getting to old to climb up a 12/ 12 pitch to clean it ) if I had a 90 degree pipe going the wall and another coming out would that block the embers from coming out ?
It would help, but sounds like you need a chimney cap with a spark screen on it. It is basically a piece of chicken wire, or hardware screen that has half inch square pattern. Only problem with them is they get clogged with creosote and have to be cleaned occasionally. Most people take them off for the winter as the sparks are not such an issue when there is snow on the ground.
Im getting ready to do this install on my cabin and am trying to decide what parts I need,. Is it ok to run a single walled pipe through the wall thimble? Everything I have read says it needs at least a double walled through the thimble connecting to the T cleanout. These pipes arent cheap unfortunately.
The double wall insulated pipe that attaches to the Thimble was included in the Kit. If you find the next woodstove video in the series, You will see I had to actually buy a longer one to help get out past my overhang and keep the stove pipe closer to Plumb. But no single wall through the wall, unless you are doing it OLD school style and not using a real Thimble kit
@OffgridwithJayandJen I have the thimble installed, I just didn't get the full kit (yet) I will check out your next video. I have to clear my eve overhang too, about 2ft, so will probably have to rig up a custom brace under the T since it won't reach.
i am not with your channel but i could use some advice regarding putting in a chimney on an old pot belly stove in my garage its a 5 inch pipe coming out of the pot belly and threw cement board to the out side any does or dont i need to look into before i get started? you can see the stove on my channel at the point i am at
@@rgarizonahomestead2729 Hey I just watched your latest video. Honestly the best advice I can give you is to go watch Dave's videos of his latest little cabin build. His channel is called Bushradical and he shows perfectly how to cheaply and simply do a through the wall kit for a simple set up. If you watch his cabin build there is a easy set up there where he just uses old metal and cuts a whole in the middle and uses one single piece of triple wall pipe, the rest is all single wall. cheap, safe, and simple.
I looked for that fitting for my specific pipe style and couldn't find one to fit, So if you watch the next video or two, you will see I ended up getting a longer section to go through the wall and it made for a nice straight shot. Hope you are enjoying our vids. best wishes
I have the same issue with my overhang being in the way, which sticks out over a foot! The kit isn't built to deal with that and I too don't want to mess with cutting the overhang. Is there a way of just attaching a straight length pipe long enough to extend beyond the overhang and attach the elbow? I'm guessing it would need a support under it from the weight, which gets a bit complicated. Wondering what you ended up doing to get around the overhang. Thanks and enjoyed the video.
I show what i ended up using to fix it...but yes I just used a 12 inch straight chunk rather than the 9 inch one they provided in the kit. My over hang is only 6 or 7 inches so if you have a 12 inch over hang I would think you could buy an 18 inch straight pipe and that would work well for you. let me now if you got this reply, thanks
@@OffgridwithJayandJen Yes, I got your reply and thank you so much for your time. I bought some steel pipe at Lowes yesterday. It's the Supervent/kielkirk brand. Turns out no one has the tee pipe that goes on the outside at the hole, all sold out, so I'm trying to figure a different way, maybe a 90 degree elbow and build a stand to hold it and the chimney in place. So you used a 12 inch pipe through the hole, but how did you mount the tee pipe? I'm guessing it had to come out which wouldn't allow you to screw in the support box below it, do I have that right? Btw I'm working on living in an off grid barn on my property where I have a small business that's paying the bills. Your place looks awesome.
@@jackkerouac8439 I didn't have the interior finished yet when I installed this t brace, so I lagged a couple chunks of 4x6 treated beams to the wall outside to full the space between the clean out T support and the outside wall
Included in the kit was a couple coupler type pieces. They were 6 inches long. It was not clear on the directions exactly how or what to do with with those parts, but the way it seemed to fit best when the stainless coupler was inserted inside the pipe to act as a sleeve between the external pipe and inside pieces. After that just the cosmetic ring was installed to clean it up.
Jen is out running around at the moment. When she gets home I will have her share the ladies Facebook and webpage. Local small homebase business, love them.
We use have the rain coats for Timber and Ben. They have a nice inner liner and shed water and moisture well if it is raining or snowing outside. Please let me know if you have seen this post and let the owners know off grid with Jay and Jen sent you. Appreciate you supporting their business.
@@OffgridwithJayandJen thank you so much, the coats look so good on your dogs, I have 2 large dobies and cannot find winter coats for them , I’m so glad I stumbled across your video, which I enjoyed a lot , and you do an excellent work. I will be contacting the web site you provided to order some coats for my babies. Once again, thank you for sharing, and keep up the good work.
@@baderhaddad5728 SO glad we could help. The lady that makes the coats only needs a few measurements and she custom makes them upon your order. Always fairly priced and good timeline. Happy you are here enjoying the vids and best wishes to you.
The black single wall pipe gets too hot to attach to the house. I have also heard that when running it a long distance like this it the cool outside temps will cool the smoke and cause excessive build up, NOT sure if that is true or not.
I just remembered that I just test fit everything in this video and actually installed then damper in the next video just prior to lighting our first fire. Sorry I forgot it was not included in this video. take care and thanks for being here Richard
I wished you lived close to me. I'm gonna put a stove in my house. I really have no idea what I'm doing. Be nice to have someone who can do it the right way.
Lol, I see that now. I.did the math before and was hoping I was wrong....but hoping to extend the section from the inside to the T now and correct the angles. We will see. Best wishes Lora
This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.
Just watching to learn how to do mine in the future. Your soapstone stove looks nice. Have you had experience with soapstone stoves before? Wondering if they are worth the extra expense and if they really are better at storing and radiating heat even after the fire is out.
Very nice.....this is our first soapstone. We have traditional steel stove down state. The stone definitely holds the heat until morning......now weather or not it really helps maintain the room temp I don't think it helps that much, but we do absolutely love the stove. We bought it second hand for a steal I think so it just worked out to have it.
@@OffgridwithJayandJen Thank you for sharing. Wow! Sounds like you got lucky with the stove. Are you in Michigan? I’ll have to look at the map, haha. I’m Canadian living in southern Japan at the moment, but am planning returning to my home country of Canada and building a cabin in northern BC. I’ll be trading subtropical for subarctic! 🥶 I’ll need a warm stove for sure.
The stove kit through the wall kit was bought at tractor supply company. Think it was all the most popular brand around.....durastove or something like that
I like the loft in your cabin...want to build similar to this...do you have 8 foot walls or are they 10 and what roof pitch did you end up using?...great video on the install
Hey there, we actually went with 9 foot walls and a 10/ 12 pitch. It was good enough to allow us to stand in the loft rather than just be hunched over. Happy with it. If you went with a wider cabin it would allow even more space.
Lane, I love my beard. Wish I could keep it all the time, but it doesn't bother me for months......then like the snap of a finger, my face tells me it want to see some sunlight, lol. Best wishes 😁
This stove has a large door that flips down inside the top of the stove, but in the next video or two I install one in the pipe about two foot above the stove.
That's the shortest stove pipe I've ever seen installed. Personally, I would've gone up 6-8 inches more. You're heating the outside more than the inside. Although, I do like that you went through the wall instead of the roof. I watch a UA-cam channel called Bushradical (weird name, I know) and he's been building cabins for over 20 years and he ALWAYS goes out the wall. Great video, though ❤️
It is shorter than I had hoped but wanted to make sure it was secure on the outside. I'll make sure I add a damper and hope it holds the heat in better. Hoping the small space will heat well regardless. Lol Love Dave's channel and his wife Brook. They have good spirits and have a wonderful way of going about life dont they? Thanks for being here Joanna, glad you are enjoying our journey. Best wishes
Hey good deal I learned some new things. Where did you buy be clean out and support bracket and how much are each of them? Thanks feel free to check my page out I got a lot of similar stuff on there plus my crazy Shelties thanks again for all the good information
I will check it out James The clean out T came with the thru the wall kit I purchased at tractor supply, the whole kit was $359.00. Everything came in that kit for supporting the chimney system. the only additional thing to buy was the pipe sections up, and I bought the extra support poles that reach up high closer to the chimney cap, that kit was $45.00 and was purchased at Menards. Hope this helps buddy.
Why would you put a wood stove pipe right beside a window. ? Would not pass code where I live should be a minimum of 5 ft from window open Total fire hazard with windows blinds , curtains window trim
There is a large damper plate in the top of the stove, I'm not sure if I need one in the pipe with that one being in the stove. I'll have to see how the stove functions once it is fired up
Well everyone's situation will be different. Typical install mounts right to the cabin. In my situation I show what I do in future videos. I have a woodstove playlist
@@plumbsquareandlevelish4475 I ended up just pushing the support T out 3 more inches with a longer piece of pipe thru the wall. Then added chunks of wood between the t and cabin
@@OffgridwithJayandJen Thanks for responding - this is the part that everybody runs into, I think. I think I can strap my wood stove chimney to an abandoned chimney if I place the stove correctly.
Jill I did notice that at the end once we uploaded it. When I make the videos I'm wearing headphones so it sounds different than when it comes out of a speaker on the tv or phone. I try to spend more time than most editing out the loud audio noises and making audio pleasurable so your not turning the volume up and down so much. Sorry about that. This video did take a long time to make also, so I might have rushed that detail at the end. Thanks for watching still Jill. Best wishes
I don't think you really understand what you are saying or understand the function of the single wall pipe. If you don't have this style pipe indoors.....you lose all the radiant heat that comes from it. The more single wall pipe indoors the better, if it was all double wall or insulated you are losing efficiency. Hope this helps Dave.

How's she goin'? Getting the stove geared up will be a big milestone. A few set backs, but hey, that's what makes it real eh!! Take care!!
Thanks so much. I've got a plan...long as I can get the part.....lol. harder than I was hoping. Best wishes
I've been told the black pipe goes the other way so there's less build up inside...? Help me please! 🙏 Does the crimped end go up or down?
Crimped goes down.....otherwise liquid creosote will drip down and end up on the outside of your pipe.
I have a 20 foot vertical pipe running straight up to the roof ridge and when I open up the vent on a hot load I get burning cinders that fly out the top . Would putting a 45 degree pipe block those burning cinders from coming out the top ?
Are you getting sparks and embers flying out the top? By the chimney cap outside?
@OffgridwithJayandJen yes its like a Roman candle . It's not a issue since I have a metal roof . I need to re locate the stove to come out a wall instead of the roof . ( I'm getting to old to climb up a 12/ 12 pitch to clean it ) if I had a 90 degree pipe going the wall and another coming out would that block the embers from coming out ?
It would help, but sounds like you need a chimney cap with a spark screen on it. It is basically a piece of chicken wire, or hardware screen that has half inch square pattern. Only problem with them is they get clogged with creosote and have to be cleaned occasionally. Most people take them off for the winter as the sparks are not such an issue when there is snow on the ground.
@@OffgridwithJayandJen thank you for the suggestion . I'll try it
Im getting ready to do this install on my cabin and am trying to decide what parts I need,. Is it ok to run a single walled pipe through the wall thimble? Everything I have read says it needs at least a double walled through the thimble connecting to the T cleanout. These pipes arent cheap unfortunately.
The double wall insulated pipe that attaches to the Thimble was included in the Kit. If you find the next woodstove video in the series, You will see I had to actually buy a longer one to help get out past my overhang and keep the stove pipe closer to Plumb. But no single wall through the wall, unless you are doing it OLD school style and not using a real Thimble kit
@OffgridwithJayandJen I have the thimble installed, I just didn't get the full kit (yet) I will check out your next video. I have to clear my eve overhang too, about 2ft, so will probably have to rig up a custom brace under the T since it won't reach.
GREAT VIDEO WHAT DO YOU DO FOR ELECTRICITY OFF GRID?
We have a smaller solar set up. we have a whole slar playlist if you want to check it out
Where did you buy your Duravent through-the-wall wood stove chimney kit? Can you provide a website to where I can purchase this kit? Thanks.
I purchased it at tractor supply company.....
Those are 12 inch studs right? Thats what mine are. Thanks for the great video, im installing this week
16 inch
i am not with your channel but i could use some advice regarding putting in a chimney on an old pot belly stove in my garage its a 5 inch pipe coming out of the pot belly and threw cement board to the out side any does or dont i need to look into before i get started? you can see the stove on my channel at the point i am at
I'll take a peak and comment there.
@@OffgridwithJayandJen thanks for looking at it it will help i am sure
@@rgarizonahomestead2729 Hey I just watched your latest video. Honestly the best advice I can give you is to go watch Dave's videos of his latest little cabin build. His channel is called Bushradical and he shows perfectly how to cheaply and simply do a through the wall kit for a simple set up. If you watch his cabin build there is a easy set up there where he just uses old metal and cuts a whole in the middle and uses one single piece of triple wall pipe, the rest is all single wall. cheap, safe, and simple.
I bought 6in gas pipe instead of wood stove pipe. Can I use any of that gas pipe for the outside?
I'm not familiar with the gas pipe to be honest. If I were to guess i would say no because the gas pipes might have a lower temperature rating.
Do you not want the horizontal pipe to angle upward slightly?
It is very slightly, but not much.
Try a 30 degree offset to go around the soffit.
I looked for that fitting for my specific pipe style and couldn't find one to fit, So if you watch the next video or two, you will see I ended up getting a longer section to go through the wall and it made for a nice straight shot. Hope you are enjoying our vids. best wishes
Should go straight up through the ceiling. Keeps more heat in the cabin and no issue with overhangs.
Ya but then I have to put a giant hole in my roof and climb up there to clean it....this way no more roof or ladder. Which makes Jason a happy boy.
Where did you get the part that goes thru the wall?.
Tractor supply company
Good work on the woodstove. You will get the vertical pieces right. Trial and error is the way to may it work.
Thanks Rich, that's kinda how I have to roll for sure. Best wishes bud
I have the same issue with my overhang being in the way, which sticks out over a foot! The kit isn't built to deal with that and I too don't want to mess with cutting the overhang. Is there a way of just attaching a straight length pipe long enough to extend beyond the overhang and attach the elbow? I'm guessing it would need a support under it from the weight, which gets a bit complicated. Wondering what you ended up doing to get around the overhang. Thanks and enjoyed the video.
I show what i ended up using to fix it...but yes I just used a 12 inch straight chunk rather than the 9 inch one they provided in the kit. My over hang is only 6 or 7 inches so if you have a 12 inch over hang I would think you could buy an 18 inch straight pipe and that would work well for you. let me now if you got this reply, thanks
@@OffgridwithJayandJen Yes, I got your reply and thank you so much for your time. I bought some steel pipe at Lowes yesterday. It's the Supervent/kielkirk brand. Turns out no one has the tee pipe that goes on the outside at the hole, all sold out, so I'm trying to figure a different way, maybe a 90 degree elbow and build a stand to hold it and the chimney in place. So you used a 12 inch pipe through the hole, but how did you mount the tee pipe? I'm guessing it had to come out which wouldn't allow you to screw in the support box below it, do I have that right? Btw I'm working on living in an off grid barn on my property where I have a small business that's paying the bills. Your place looks awesome.
@@jackkerouac8439 I didn't have the interior finished yet when I installed this t brace, so I lagged a couple chunks of 4x6 treated beams to the wall outside to full the space between the clean out T support and the outside wall
@@OffgridwithJayandJen Awesome I love it!!!!
What is that on 8:54 that is being installed into the wall thimble?
Included in the kit was a couple coupler type pieces. They were 6 inches long. It was not clear on the directions exactly how or what to do with with those parts, but the way it seemed to fit best when the stainless coupler was inserted inside the pipe to act as a sleeve between the external pipe and inside pieces. After that just the cosmetic ring was installed to clean it up.
I like to know where you got the dogs coats from please.
Jen is out running around at the moment. When she gets home I will have her share the ladies Facebook and webpage. Local small homebase business, love them.
feathers-point.myshopify.com/
We use have the rain coats for Timber and Ben. They have a nice inner liner and shed water and moisture well if it is raining or snowing outside. Please let me know if you have seen this post and let the owners know off grid with Jay and Jen sent you. Appreciate you supporting their business.
@@OffgridwithJayandJen thank you so much, the coats look so good on your dogs, I have 2 large dobies and cannot find winter coats for them , I’m so glad I stumbled across your video, which I enjoyed a lot , and you do an excellent work. I will be contacting the web site you provided to order some coats for my babies. Once again, thank you for sharing, and keep up the good work.
@@baderhaddad5728 SO glad we could help. The lady that makes the coats only needs a few measurements and she custom makes them upon your order. Always fairly priced and good timeline. Happy you are here enjoying the vids and best wishes to you.
So single wall inside, double/triple outside?
Yes. Single wall inside and triple wall to go through the wall and up outside. 😊
Thanks
Where is your cabin- we are working on a build in MI
In the woods....close to the Mackinac bridge. 😊
@@OffgridwithJayandJen we are north and west on UP- outside of Marquette- we are just getting started-
Why can I not use black pipe outside? Why use double insulated pipe?
The black single wall pipe gets too hot to attach to the house. I have also heard that when running it a long distance like this it the cool outside temps will cool the smoke and cause excessive build up, NOT sure if that is true or not.
Where is your damper. Kansas
There are two, one in the stove and one in the stove pipe a foot above the stove. Best wishes
I just remembered that I just test fit everything in this video and actually installed then damper in the next video just prior to lighting our first fire. Sorry I forgot it was not included in this video. take care and thanks for being here Richard
Trim the two foot section to make it whatever length you want.
But I think that is too close to the vinyl window trim.
I wished you lived close to me. I'm gonna put a stove in my house. I really have no idea what I'm doing. Be nice to have someone who can do it the right way.
Keep watching install videos my friend. It is not that hard....but nice to have a lending hand.
just a build out to make it fit....get er done
For sure. best wishes
Where did you get the kit?
Tractor supply company.
Yeah those side mounts are usually a head ache and never clear the eaves
Lol, I see that now. I.did the math before and was hoping I was wrong....but hoping to extend the section from the inside to the T now and correct the angles. We will see. Best wishes Lora
This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.
insulated chimney should extend into the building
It does , that is the whole purpose of the thimble. The clean out T has a short section that goes from the inside wall to the outside T
Just watching to learn how to do mine in the future. Your soapstone stove looks nice. Have you had experience with soapstone stoves before? Wondering if they are worth the extra expense and if they really are better at storing and radiating heat even after the fire is out.
Very nice.....this is our first soapstone. We have traditional steel stove down state. The stone definitely holds the heat until morning......now weather or not it really helps maintain the room temp I don't think it helps that much, but we do absolutely love the stove. We bought it second hand for a steal I think so it just worked out to have it.
@@OffgridwithJayandJen Thank you for sharing. Wow! Sounds like you got lucky with the stove. Are you in Michigan? I’ll have to look at the map, haha. I’m Canadian living in southern Japan at the moment, but am planning returning to my home country of Canada and building a cabin in northern BC. I’ll be trading subtropical for subarctic! 🥶 I’ll need a warm stove for sure.
Where did you order this kit?
Bought it at tractor supply company...dura-Vent
What brand is that?
Hearthstone.....I have a playlist with a few other videos about its journey here, if you care to see more. THanks
The stove kit through the wall kit was bought at tractor supply company. Think it was all the most popular brand around.....durastove or something like that
I like the loft in your cabin...want to build similar to this...do you have 8 foot walls or are they 10 and what roof pitch did you end up using?...great video on the install
Hey there, we actually went with 9 foot walls and a 10/ 12 pitch. It was good enough to allow us to stand in the loft rather than just be hunched over. Happy with it. If you went with a wider cabin it would allow even more space.
Also....I put the loft at 8 foot rather than 9 so there is that extra space up there and it still doesn't feel cramped under the loft
@@OffgridwithJayandJen how wide is your cabin 16 feet?
Yes 16x24
@@OffgridwithJayandJen thanks for the quick reply...love your cabin..well done
The biggest thing I noticed was you shaved your beard! Jay, try double 45, might be enough to clear the roof. Stay warm my northern friends!!
Lane, I love my beard. Wish I could keep it all the time, but it doesn't bother me for months......then like the snap of a finger, my face tells me it want to see some sunlight, lol. Best wishes 😁
Where is the damper
This stove has a large door that flips down inside the top of the stove, but in the next video or two I install one in the pipe about two foot above the stove.
Dang, I enjoy watching others work, lol. Too bad about the t not extending far enough.
Working on getting an extension, hoping for a better outcome the next go at it. Hope your weather is holding out for your build WW. Best wishes.
No flue?
not sure what you mean, I finish it up on another video
Amen~!
😀
Where is the second part of this video?
We have 3 plus years of videos sharing our woodstove history. It works great and had had zero issues over the years.
That's the shortest stove pipe I've ever seen installed. Personally, I would've gone up 6-8 inches more. You're heating the outside more than the inside. Although, I do like that you went through the wall instead of the roof. I watch a UA-cam channel called Bushradical (weird name, I know) and he's been building cabins for over 20 years and he ALWAYS goes out the wall.
Great video, though ❤️
It is shorter than I had hoped but wanted to make sure it was secure on the outside. I'll make sure I add a damper and hope it holds the heat in better. Hoping the small space will heat well regardless. Lol
Love Dave's channel and his wife Brook. They have good spirits and have a wonderful way of going about life dont they?
Thanks for being here Joanna, glad you are enjoying our journey. Best wishes
@@OffgridwithJayandJen awwww. That's so nice of you to say. I enjoy your channel very much ❤️
Bushradical and his wife's channel are awesome (she's Girl In The Woods).
Hey good deal I learned some new things. Where did you buy be clean out and support bracket and how much are each of them? Thanks feel free to check my page out I got a lot of similar stuff on there plus my crazy Shelties thanks again for all the good information
I will check it out James
The clean out T came with the thru the wall kit I purchased at tractor supply, the whole kit was $359.00. Everything came in that kit for supporting the chimney system. the only additional thing to buy was the pipe sections up, and I bought the extra support poles that reach up high closer to the chimney cap, that kit was $45.00 and was purchased at Menards. Hope this helps buddy.
Why would you put a wood stove pipe right beside a window. ? Would not pass code where I live should be a minimum of 5 ft from window open
Total fire hazard with windows blinds , curtains window trim
It will be fine. Thanks
I didn't see a damper in your shove pipe.
There is a large damper plate in the top of the stove, I'm not sure if I need one in the pipe with that one being in the stove. I'll have to see how the stove functions once it is fired up
I mean I think you needed to have shown the final solution - it's all about the final solution.
Well everyone's situation will be different. Typical install mounts right to the cabin. In my situation I show what I do in future videos. I have a woodstove playlist
@@OffgridwithJayandJen Those eaves get you every time. I found a way to avoid having to angle away from the house to avoid the eave, myself.
@@plumbsquareandlevelish4475 I ended up just pushing the support T out 3 more inches with a longer piece of pipe thru the wall. Then added chunks of wood between the t and cabin
@@OffgridwithJayandJen Thanks for responding - this is the part that everybody runs into, I think. I think I can strap my wood stove chimney to an abandoned chimney if I place the stove correctly.
why do you always play the music so loud it covers what you are saying
Jill I did notice that at the end once we uploaded it. When I make the videos I'm wearing headphones so it sounds different than when it comes out of a speaker on the tv or phone. I try to spend more time than most editing out the loud audio noises and making audio pleasurable so your not turning the volume up and down so much. Sorry about that. This video did take a long time to make also, so I might have rushed that detail at the end. Thanks for watching still Jill. Best wishes
Why do people wast their time with single wall stove pipe.....beyond me???? It should be banned from the market completely.
I don't think you really understand what you are saying or understand the function of the single wall pipe. If you don't have this style pipe indoors.....you lose all the radiant heat that comes from it. The more single wall pipe indoors the better, if it was all double wall or insulated you are losing efficiency. Hope this helps Dave.
Should have angled that horizontal piece at least 15 degrees. Never want any horizontal pipe if at all possible
