  • Part 1 - Heating the cabin in -10 to -15 with a fresh air / make up air intake system attached to the wood burning stove. Let's see how these two systems work in heating a log cabin in the Canadian Rockies. Part 1 will look at how long it takes to heat the cabin in -10 -15 winter temperatures WITH the make up air ductwork attached to the stove. Lets see how long it takes to heat this tiny log cabin with a small soapstone wood burning stove in the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
    Stay tuned for part 2!

      If you pull air from outside you will definitely heat up quicker. I have done this in my own house and burn 2 less cords of wood per year. If your pulling air from inside your house and its 20 degrees farenheit outside your pulling that air in to replace the air that went up the chimney. Basically a no brainer. It's like leaving a window open, air will come in under doors or wherever it can.

    In a sealed house (modern windows) you pretty much have to crack a window 1/8 inch if you don't get the air from the outside. I have had times where two stoves are burning here and I got light-headed from low oxygen and needed to open window. If you have an old house with some cracks under doors... things like that... the air will be pulled from there. No need.

    If your house is well insulated and tight yes good idea to have outside air intake. If it’s leaky cold air is coming in anyways. Besides fresh air is good for you.

    I have owned both a soapstone and regular steel/cast iron stoves and I prefer the soapstone stoves if it is your main source of heat. They hold their heat for a long time and put off very nice heat but, they take for ever to get hot. I would find a nice steel/cast iron stove for the cabin, they heat up way faster. Either way good video, im curious as to the results.

  • @jedidiah5131
    @jedidiah5131 3 роки тому +2

    Question; if you leave the draft/damper open for both tests , doesn't that defeat the purpose of the cold air intake? or do you still need the draft to control the burn? My stove isn't on an outside wall so I can't use the cold air intake so I'm hoping your it doesn't make a difference lol.....Thanks for the vid.

    • @JimmyMeatwhistle
      @JimmyMeatwhistle  3 роки тому +1

      When my draft is open at the bottom of the stove that's directly connected to the cold air intake so any air getting into the stove is 100% coming from outside. I'll disconnect it off the bottom of the stove for the second half of the test, just waiting on some stable temperatures

    If you read the instructions that came with your Eco-Fan, you are suppose to have it where you can get cooler air passing over the top fins. It is not suppose to be in front of the stove pipe drawing hot air across those top fins. If you put the fan back at the rear of the stove it would run a lot stronger. The object is to have the top of the device relatively cool while the bottom is hot. That temperature difference is what makes the thermo-electric plate in the middle produce the most power. You can also eventually kill your fan by running it as you are making it too hot overall.

    • @JimmyMeatwhistle
      @JimmyMeatwhistle  8 місяців тому

      Well, it's still running. I guess you are wrong 👍. Not a bad run for a $30 fan.

    • @user-yo1pk4ky4k
      @user-yo1pk4ky4k 8 місяців тому

      The instructions with all these fans say to not place them to draw hot air off the stove pipe. It's your fan so you can defy the engineering if you want, but for longest life and most fan speed it is best to have the largest temperature difference you can across the thermo-electric plate between the top and bottom parts of the fan. And if your fan stops working sometimes you can renew the conductive paste between the plates to bring it back to life. @@JimmyMeatwhistle

    i see lights which I'd assume you have electricity. I run a small 60 dollar fan that's common on amazon. brand name. stainless steel. I put it on low against my stove and within 10 to 15 mins of the stove coming to say 400ish on the cast part itself...I am sitting at 25c+ in 1600+ sq feet. obviously I'm not trying to preach, you have other circumstances like a full building that was at incredibly low temps and you have to bring the energy in the structure up. But the fan regardless makes a huge difference vs. sending it up the flue.
