Your so right when you mentioned about how wonderful it is when you step outside especially at night and get to smell the wood smoke. Nothing better. Thanks for sharing
Great advice from someone...Smokey glass is a result of your stove being burned too cold. An intense burn will burn off the soot from the window and clean out the creosote in your chimney. And the best part is it takes no work! Note that if you do have creosote building up in your chimney, a hot burn could ignite it and cause a chimney fire, which would possibly burn your RV down and at a minimum require you to replace your whole chimney. So clean it first, then do regular hot burns to keep it clean. Dry hardwood or fir will burn hot and clean. If you burn those artificial logs or softwood it burns too cold. A hot fire also burns everything to a fine ash that builds up much slower than if you have unburned coals mixed in with it.
I bought a guide gear woodstove. They have 2 sizes. I bought the smaller of the 2. They are relatively inexpensive. The only issue I have with the is they're designed with the flue to be put on upside down. A coupler fixes that in a second. I also put a grate in it. It allows for bigger wood that will allow it to run all night. Banking the coals is 100%the right answer. I built a camper from an enclosed trailer. Alot of issues you're having would be eliminated. I also put fire brick in... oh, and another way to get your stove to burn longer as well as help damper it when it gets to warm... dried wood chips... you can get them from anyone with a wood chipper
I've never seen your channel before but I'm off grid with my German Shepherd girl. I think I love you guys just based off the comment "we keep the house at 65 degrees because that's what Redford prefers" 😂
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. I recommend getting an Ecofan for the stove to move the air around if you have not already. It will really help heat up your floor and dry your boots.
I've a tiny little camping wood burner in my campervan. I found that burning "Newburn" coal really does work! The coal seems to be mainly an ignition source, about six coals, and burns using surrounding materials (wood/paper etc) settling on the coals and covering them. After about three hours with no flames whatsoever the fire was so hot I had to stir it up to cool it down so I could go out!
I recommend you crack a window to modulate temperature and keep an adequate supply of oxygen in the space. It has the added benefit of maintaining positive air pressure, which will reduce the chance of smoky backdraft from the fireplace.
we usually keep a window in the loft open a couple inches...it also helps keep the temp from getting too high, you dont want to go to sleep when its 80' in the loft! 🙈
I have a nice blanket in winter that I use to keep the heat from coming up into the loft; I also like a cooler sleeping temp, and it's a waste to let it go up there. In summer I take the cover down, and it's my summer coverlet. Then I get nice airflow out the skylight!@@LetNewAdventuresBegin
we've got a full-size woodburner and been using it for over 20 years - it easily heats our 2000 sq ft log home and normally operates between 400-600 degrees. you CAN paint it; but do not use a cheaper paint and make sure it says it's rated for at least 1200 degrees. we painted ours a semi-gloss black and it looks great. i'll usually touch it up every few years - but have never had to totally repaint it. oh, yea, we LOVE to cook on ours too - stews, soup beans/ham and other soups - chili.....lots of things!
we never had a wood stove before so I had no idea it could get that hot! next time I will pick a better paint...it did look really nice with a little red stove at the center of the tiny house 😊 cooking on the wood stove really is fun!
@@LetNewAdventuresBegin i can't think of the name, offhand, but there are good quality high-heat spray on paints that come in red- make sure it's rated for no less than 1000 degrees . mine is rated for 1200. costs more but it lasts. good luck!
Informative. Thanks. Love the thought of the wood smell outdoors and the roasting potato and onion smell indoors. ❤ And, as always, love seeing Redford happy. 🐾
I love my tiny house, and glad I'm not in a northern state because I sleep the whole winter without heat overnight. Need to get a small wood stove, and of course the cubic mini is very popular.
I hope you guys are remembering to clean out the creosote from the chimney every year. Otherwise, you can have a chimney fire. YIKES! Do look into cleaning the chimney yearly.
You have increased my knowledge re the Grizzly word stove in a very positive way. Excelkent presentation! Eyes wide open. Thankyou very much. Suggest you consider installing a ceiling vent in the the loft which will enable you to control the temperature in that space.
Put some alcool on cardboard egg container. The best fire starter. No need of expensive long matches. Thank you for sharing. I just bought the grizzly cube for the van I am building. It looks great and I am impatient to mount it
thank you for sharing your experiences and advice. great info on woodstove, process, and procedures, and maintenance aspect of life with a small woodstove. channel is informative and likeable. some out there are annoying to watch. best wishes to yall.
Im glad you enjoyed it- it can be a great little wood stove in the right situation! we just like to share our experiences with different aspects of our life- a bit too slow for some in the world of youtube...but thats how we like it 😊 Thanks for watching!
right now we live in NJ and rent a lot in an RV Resort/modular home community...but are in the process of trying to move to a state where it is legal to put it on our own land (which is not many!) the wood stove was (surprisingly) no big deal- just sent a picture and filled out a form for the insurance company after install
i like having the roaster on top so we never got a fan, but I bet it would help move the heat around faster. I just stand in front of the stove for the first hour 😂
Have 7 a bedro😮m that is 100+ year old farmhouse. The only source of heat is a wood stove. I live in my 31 ft rv, my furnace is❤😮😢. Looking into purchasing a wood stove.
it really does help control the humidity, we still run the minisplit dehumidifier when showering, but it has greatly improved the winter condensation issues
It is hard to say because it varies each month- the more we are home the more we use the wood stove, but when we are working or have a busy schedule we tend to use the electric heater. If its really cold out we tend to use the wood stove just because it works more efficiently to really heat up the house
It seems like a lot of work for just 2 1/2 hours of burn time. If you are getting the wood for free it's probably worth it but it seems like you have to rely on the electric heater too much. I have a park model trailer with propane heat. It works flawlessly. No moisture to deal with as it's vented. If I want the ambience of a wood fire, I turn on my electric fireplace I picked up in a garage sale for $15
We're very glad you're enjoying the stove!
It is a great little stove for our tiny house 😊
Your so right when you mentioned about how wonderful it is when you step outside especially at night and get to smell the wood smoke. Nothing better. Thanks for sharing
It is so true 😊 those cozy rustic vibes
Another tip you can use old Tp cardboard rolls plus empty paper towel rolls cut them down and stuff with lint , Works well and stays neat .
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate the tips! 🫶🦋

thats an interesting idea! we may have to try that, thanks Charlie 👍
Works perfect on a sailboat as well, really keeps the interior dry. Nothing like the warm glow resting at anchor on a winter night.

Greetings from France.

Very industrious and cozy to boot.
It actually makes me hate winter a little bit less 🙈😂

glad to help you learn about the wood stove! If we built another house we would think differently about ventilation for sure
i have learned ALWAYS use a small fan
Hi from Tennessee. Great video on your wood stove. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching Patricia! 😊
Cozy!
It sure is cozy when that wood stove is on 😊
This is such a great video. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed!
damn you guys are living the dream!
we are working on it 😊 making progress toward the life we want to live every year!
Very well done. Good presentation.
You could improve the wood heat by bringing the combustion air into the stove from outside the building as with an airtight wood stove!
Put some alcool on cardboard egg container. The best fire starter. No need of expensive long matches. Thank you for sharing. I just bought the grizzly cube for the van I am building. It looks great and I am impatient to mount it
thats a technique we have not tried! thanks 😊
you are gonna be so cozy in that van 👍
@@LetNewAdventuresBegin thank you !

If you put a small fan at the ceiling height blowing down, it will take care of heat circulation. Just a small 4 inch or so.
great idea- we have a little fan in the RV I can use...next wood stove season 👍
I love you video! When I the new leaf video coming put
Thanks- I am due for a Leaf update video...hopefully soon 👍
Don't mean to be nosy but wondering where (general locale) you were able to set up your tiny home and able to use wood heat. Great video
right now we live in NJ and rent a lot in an RV Resort/modular home community...but are in the process of trying to move to a state where it is legal to put it on our own land (which is not many!) the wood stove was (surprisingly) no big deal- just sent a picture and filled out a form for the insurance company after install
Thank you. Any link to buy that wood stove from amazon etc?
Hardwood that is seasoned properly will reduce the amount of creosote on window.
Can you tell me where you bought the temperature gage for the Grizzly?
It is the magnetic thermometer from midwest hearth- it is on amazon & very helpful for managing the stove!
Good to see in a equal world that still it's the man cutting and prapearing all the wood wile the woman holds a camera. 🤣👍
when my arms reach 17 inches in circumference I will take over wielding the chainsaw...until then I hold the camera 😂💪
Do you think a small eco fan would help spread the heat quicker?
i like having the roaster on top so we never got a fan, but I bet it would help move the heat around faster. I just stand in front of the stove for the first hour 😂
@@LetNewAdventuresBegin Thanks. Yeah I can a roaster on mine inside my travel trailer. Thank you for the thoughts on the stove.
A wet tea bag and soot gets the glass clean too 👍🏼
What is the stainless steel thing on top of the stove?
If you put a plate in there, you will double the amount of burn time. Some call it a baffle.
that would be great, I will look into that 👍
how much wood do you guys tend to use during different seasons?
Can this be vented out the back instead of the ceiling?

The stove is your dehumidifier
it really does help control the humidity, we still run the minisplit dehumidifier when showering, but it has greatly improved the winter condensation issues
Toothpaste is good for cleaning the glass
Do you have an estimate on how much your electricity bill went down?
It is hard to say because it varies each month- the more we are home the more we use the wood stove, but when we are working or have a busy schedule we tend to use the electric heater. If its really cold out we tend to use the wood stove just because it works more efficiently to really heat up the house

Open a window lol
The window up in the loft is usually open a couple inches to allow circulation & make sure its not 90' up there when we go to bed 😊🙈
I like that Tattoo on your wrist. Interesting.
jesteście kolejnymi którzy mają problem z sadzą . brak powietrza w palenisku . za mała temperatura spalania .

It is a bit of work, but it is worth it to us to make the house extra warm & cozy
Still not lighting it right. 🤷🏼♂️
So if you have dryer lint you have electric so you have a heater.....hmm
