Wood Stove Make Up Air vs No Make-Up / Fresh Air Intake -10 Part 1 - Log Cabin Winter Heating Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2020
- 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!

I would love to experience these sort of conditions one day. It looks like a lot of effort and care to achieve comfort. Just great.
Great content sir 👍 enjoying all your videos so far!
Wow, thank you very much! Much appreciated 🍻
Love your cabin
You are a good housekeeper! I like CLEAN!
Pure happiness...
"That should take care of that herbal tea." Nice.
Recently started watching and enjoying your videos. I too have a Hearthstone stove and have been very impressed with it. I also enjoy Old Forester....and chuckled a bit when I saw it! Clearly, we both have good taste!!
Haha 🍻👍 thank you for the comment, much appreciated
Great video buddy. Be safe.
Thank you BT! Much appreciated 👍🍻
Heat travels from a hot surface to a cool surface, a basic law of refrigeration. I suggest insulating the cold intake duct.
The thick stone is also insulating top of stove so that heat is lost
Very difficult to have simple foundation especially when recording for my videos. Nice vid. Thanks!😀
Looking forward to part two! I will predict no difference under identical conditions.
Hi and thanks for the comment. I'm looking forward to it as well I'm very interested in seeing the results. It seems to be a Hot Topic.
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.
@@johnstack4316 how people can't understand this is beyond me
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.
hello, I have a tin fireplace and it has vermiculite inside, wouldn't it give and retain heat longer if I replaced it with chamotte? I understood that vermiculite has an insulating role.
Whiskey puts the e in tea- ish. I've been enjoying your videos. I love the fast pace and random humor. Great content
Thanks John, much appreciated 🍻👍
I love your cabin cool stove d you co on it plus I like your your firewood rack do you use snow water for cleaning and washing up
I see this on so many wood/dual fuel stove videos so your not alone, point your Eco-fan at the stove pipe, you can thank me later 😺
You should put in a regulation inside the chimney (like a revolving flat plate 🍽) to regulate the flow and how much heat 🔥 that will escape from the chimney...😊 😊
yess, and couple that with adjustable air intake
Do you think pulling in outside air would help if you had a bad downdraft on a windy day. Great video thanks
Very nice👍
GREAT VIDEO...I'VE READ ON THERMOMETER PACKAGES THAT THEY SHOULD BE PLACED 5 FT HIGH FROM THE FLOOR...NOT SURE IF THAT GOES FOR ALL THERMOMETERS......THANKS FOR SHARING.
Thanks for the comment and info.👍🍻
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 guess the thought is, if it's -30 outside, I don't want to be sucking that cold air into the building when I'm trying to warm it up.
Good G-watch….. where to buy that wood cart
if there is a part 2, put link in description
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.
Hi and thanks for the comment. Yes this stove is pretty awesome. I'm going to try and get that second half of the video done tonight and hopefully have it posted for tomorrow. I'm interested to see the difference as well, it seems to be a controversial subject 😁🍻
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.
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
bout that inside my refrigerator!!
One more question is it hard to warm up your chimney pulling outside air
Hi John, no issues there. It will definitely be hot going up the pipe.
Blaze King with the 4 cuft box would be better to get the temp up and the cat would save fuel burning on low thermostat controlled
Wow that was painfull...just wanted info on air intake...not tea or cabin...!!
You get what you pay for buddy, and you paid 0 LOL
Even the comments aren’t helping.
Hi. What's this version of the song called that starts play at min: 04.05 and at 05.58 please? 🤔 😊
A Nice tune and a really nice effort to keep your house 🏡 warm and hot 🔥 😊
Its called "Ba ba bapa dapa da"
@@homealone5087 Thanks 🤗 but was unable to find the version in the video 📹 😃 Thanks for the effort...😊
Hi and thanks for the comment. I'll have to go back and look but it's some generic music from the UA-cam Studio
@@JimmyMeatwhistle If you want please let me know when you know more ☺️ I would appreciate it 😃
Irish tea is the best
I would make a pot of chicken noodle soup on the hearthstone and enjoy the smells.
Because it's air & it rises, i bet the loft is very comfortable before the couch hits 50
It sure is toasty up three 🍻👍
nice gwg-1000 :D
Thanks, they are beefy! Love it!
Man has taste…. I Like mud m. ,,,but i own two rangemans…. And approx. 15 Gshocks…
How much insulation do you have in the cabin???? Thanks
Just the logs. Not sure what's in the roof I'll have to check
@@JimmyMeatwhistleJimmy, well done fella too.
I can smell the tea beginning to heat up for sure. Where I live 10 degrees is super cold. Have a nice day fella. How do you keep the flu pipe from turning red ??? How do you like the soap stone stove ?? Stay warm and dry Jimmy. Peace
Hi and thanks for the comment 🍻 Love this little wooded stove, its a beauty 👌
@@JimmyMeatwhistle A total agreement about your statement. Good day too.
Put that ceiling fan in reverse and it'll blow the warm air down to the living area rather effectively.
You should start looking into a rocket stove. It makes me cringe to see effort you put into cutting, stacking and curing all that wood to have most of the heat from it, going up the chimney.
A rocket stove, if built correctly, will suck a majority of the heat out of the exhaust before it leaves the building.
@Dan Clark a rocket stove isn't good for this. If anything, a heat reclaimer or 2.
Rocket stoves also suck heat out
The things with rocket stoves is they get much hotter than regular stoves.....enabling heat reclaimers and storage without cooling gasses for chimney fires
What type of insulation have you if any?
Just logs around the perimeter. And I'm not sure what's in the roof I haven't checked yet
@@JimmyMeatwhistle might be worthwhile adding some insulation on the roof and floor sometime in the future if possible.
Part 2?
It's up I just posted it
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.
Well, it's still running. I guess you are wrong 👍. Not a bad run for a $30 fan.
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
No follow-up yet?
Nothing yet. We dropped gown to -25 then it was too warm. Hopefully next week we'll have some of the same temps. 🍻
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.
😻
She heats ... eh
This is a beauty little wood burning stove for sure 🍻👍 Thanks for the comment
Because it's a log home you probly won't notice a difference. Logs leak air
Turn the damn music down!
You repeat yourself WAYYYYYYY too much. It's distracting from your content
Yeah I'm getting better at it now first couple videos was a bit frightening. Thanks for the comment though
