We live in Western Pa. and Have around 100 Acres of Land, About 1/2 is ours the rest is my moms, We have 4 kids and two grandchildren, 3 Golden Retrievers and one Cat. We enjoy working on our property and making improvements. We sell firewood and soon will be selling hardwood lumber.
Just thought to take some time to come back and say why I haven`t been watching and will not watch any more of your videos as you made come discerning political comments I do not agree with a few weeks ago. I was enjoying the development of the WV property but I don`t care anymore. I am a genetic product from Lancaster Co. Pa. but was reared as a southerner and a Floridian.
Thanks for letting me know Rob, I have been worried sick day and night wondering why Rob Matthews hasn't been watching. If I were to offer prizes for strangest comment of the week I would send you two!
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans Mike made "discerning" comments? How could you? Next time make idiotic, stupid & ignorant comments, which Rob prefers!
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans Just when I thought I had seen it all. Ba-bye Rob.
Hey man, live and let live. I don't recall what Mike comments were about but his or yours are of equal value even if you don't agree. Political comment will always generate differing opinions. Being an outsider, I have no dog in this fight. Just accept that we are all entitled to our own opinion even when it may not be the popular view.
Bye Rob 👋🏻
You are SO smooth spreading rock from that bucket. I'm always impressed.
Thought the same. What looks so easy and effortless actually requires a lot of hours to practice besides having raw talent 😊
It is amazing. Those buckets are extensions of his hands. I've never seen anyone so smooth.
I don't think I have ever seen anyone as smooth as you, Mike...putting that rock down!
Hello Mike & Melissa, and Morgan family. Happy New Year! Looking forward to all the things you will be doing in 2023. Blessings from Rick in N.H.
Yinns Love your FireStarter. Great job!
Now that's too much like playing around, but you do you. That's what keeps a lot of us coming back. HNY to you all.😁
Happy new year beautiful family! May god bless you all this upcoming year 🙏
Happy new guys hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and new year
You got me Mike.
I got almost to the end before I realized I was watching an infomercial 😉
Happy New Year.
Welcome Back Morgan family. Happy New Year!!!
I love to see and hear hunter walk around when you guys do the videos. I miss hunter in the videos.
Watching you spreading that stone was really satisfying.
Happy New Year to the Morgans. Solar stove, camp coffee pot, rich brew of coffee, smelling good tasting even better
Good to see Hunter, I hope he is doing well.
Solo stoves are great companion during chilly days.
I have the first model Solo stove that I have kept for hurricane emergency cooking. It is smaller than the Mesa. I have used it once in 10:years, to cook hot dogs! Now we have a travel trailer and it’s going camping! I can cook a lot in a small iron skillet or other small cookware. I can make coffee, tea, warm soup, cook eggs, a burger, all sorts of things. I will use twigs and scrap wood I can pick up at Lowe’s for free. No one needs a fire in the mini to last 45 minutes.
I agree that the sawn method would be safer than the split wood.
As I watched you spread the rock on the driveway, l thought that watching a man do what he likes to do, with the skills to do it well, combined with a beautiful morning, is a stress free way to start a day.
Happy New Year, 2023!
PRAYing! ... for all the family, friends and associates ... Health, Safety, and Success in the coming year.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you all guys, there are also very small wood burners they use them to heat up vans or boat's or little spaces and there you also need this little woods.
Have a Blessed Great New Year
Happy New Year! Hopefully 2023 is a great year! Tell Hunter Hello!!
That is good stuff! Works very good. 😉
Happy New Year Mike and all the Morgans. 🎉
I love the variety of your music setections
Me and my husband had a great Christmas I received a lot of gifts from him
Lots of info here.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to All. John
Luv ur videos and watching ur family etc. Thank u so much!! God's blessings!
GOOD MORNING, GOD BLESS YOU & HAPPY NEW YEAR
Beautiful old international at the start of the video
You are my fire sole mate. I love fires, anywhere anytime. I can watch it all day long. And I’ll burn just about anything.
Happy New Year Morgan family! I hope you’re new year is full of prosperity and good health!
Hey Mike, not sure if you’ll see this or even if someone has already commented on it… there’s already 130+ comments. A way that I found to clean the stove glass for free and in my case better than ANY product that I’ve ever bought is by simply taking ash from the stove and mixing into a small bowl with a little water. Mix it to a paste and(doesn’t take much at all). Then just wipe the paste on the glass with a rag or even some paper towels, very little elbow grease is needed, then simply wipe off with a clean rag. Just a tip that I learned years ago and again, works just as good if not better than any products you can buy… and a lot cheaper 😁
Happy New Year! Thanks for the vids.
Scott
Continued successes this coming year.
Great video!
14:44 New OWTM tee-shirt slogan: “We Don’t Burn Pellets. We Burn Real Wood. “
That was nice old Scout that went in front of you.
Happy new year!
You can take a damp rag and put it in your old ashes and clean the glass on your wood stove. It works pretty well. I did it for years.
My parents used to have a international scout like you videoed at the start of your video. It was a nice vehicle.
Looks like a great little stove. This weather is great here in central pa. Love your videos
So glad to know you live in pa i grew up in state college cut and delivered firewood for 35plus years. Now live in Houtzdale not far from there.
Happy New Year Mike and Melisa and families !! Thanks for sharing this video about the fire starter and the small Solo Stove. Everything was awesome and so good to see Hunter doing his Supervisory Trip making sure you kept Axle safe during filming. You all have a great year and keep up the fun. Fred.
Happy new year!
I could see having one of those when I'm out ice fishing. Right now I have a taconite pellet sample can that I put charcoal into before I head out.
Picked up my 2 5lb bags of firestarter today! Thanks for the email alert.
I fired the ceramic kilns in college. I made a little ceramic kiln that took one by one by 4 inch sticks. I got that little kiln up to cone #9
Mini solo… got one for Christmas. Yes mini wood is needed. Lol
Great Idea Mike 1" x 1" cut to a 4" length, Nice little stove good for Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, S'mores, and Marshmallows. and of course a bag of fire starter.... 👍👍
I feel like you would need to make a mini fire wood cutting jig for a box blade type cutter maybe…. Great fun to try. Thank you for sharing..
Good morning Hunter👋👋😸😺and family and friends 😸 Best wishes to all for a Healthy New Year 💥😸😺
Hi BadCat, Happy New Year!🐱🐱🐱
@@davidmorse8432 / Hi David , thank you 😸, best wishes to you and your family for a healthy New Year too 😸😺
Happy new year to you and your family from Norway. I don't comment very often, but I follow your channel regularly. I have tried several products for cleaning the stove glass and found that if you put water on a curled up newspaper page (Or some other sturdy paper) and dip it in the ashes that has burned out it cleans the glass better than most store bought products. Just a new years tip for you plus it saves money.
Mike Morgan brings you today's lesson in economies of scale.
Happy New Year Guys.
JENGA " WOOD " BE PERFECT FOR THE MINI FIRE PIT ! LOL !
Thanks for sharing guys,
Happy New Years to all of you guys. Take care, all the best, and God bless.
✝️❤️🙏🇺🇸🗽🌩🌬️🌊⛴⚓️
We missed your videos. Hope you both enjoyed a little break…
Happy New Year to all
Happy New Year Morgan family🎉🎊
Happy new year to the Morgan's. I bought a cheap Chinese knock off sorta like that little stove you bought. Mine was about 20 bucks. Only about 5 inches tall and 6 inches around when in the box. Put it together about twice as tall. Twig stove. Great for motorcycle camping. Free fuel most places. Doesn't make much smoke and makes a hot fire for cooking. Fun to play with in the evenings when there is not much to do after dark. I cut a bunch of dead ash rounds about 4 or 5 inches long. Split with a axe. Fast and easy for what I am doing.
Mike, the best way I've found so far to clean the glass is to use a damp rag/towel dipped in ash. Then wipe clean with another damp clean towel.
Oh, and Happy New Year!
We use kitchen roll with ash, then you just drop it in the fire and burn it up..no waste.
Happy New Year! Was able to order some fire starter for my brother-in-law this morning. Thanks!
1:51 pm PST and your wbsite says it is out of stock already except for the fire starter & calendar combo.....great work and a Very happy & Properous 2023!!
Glad you got Nathan Elliott his bag!
Okay so I think I forgot to say this happy New Year to all the Morgan's far and near,!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR'S AND GOD BLESS THE MORGAN'S!!!!!!!!
Good start to the new year. Happy New Year family Morgan. Stay safe.
Happy New Year! A few years back, I took one off those charcoal starter things, added 3 L brackets to the bottom, add 4 L brackets to the top. I took a small piece of expanded metal (with a hole cut in the middle for loading) and bolted it to the top. When I’m in the woods cutting, I just toss some small wood and twigs in it give it a quick light and put the coffee pot on top. Makes great cowboy coffee!
Happy new year Mike and Melissa. Great to see Hunter checking up on you guys to make sure you guys were being safe.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO THE MORGAN FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Morning Hunter 🌄 hope you have a wonderful new year..
Happy New Year's day ✨️.
Hey Mike... for cleaning the glass on youre stove, try wetting your rag with a little water then dipping it in the ashes in the stove and wipe the glass with that. Dry off with a dry spot of the rag. Cleans perfectly.
Happy New Year thanks for sharing this is a cool video and good too see progress on the shop and the yard too keep up the good work. Nice too see Hunter in the video
*Great video... you guys are a Class Act !*
*HAPPY NEW YEAR !*
I must admit I very rarely read comments on videos on UA-cam so this may have been mentioned before. Up here in Alberta many rural people burn wood as their main home heating method.
They use an accessory called a thermo-electic fan to circulate warm air from their air tight stoves. The device uses heat from the stove to convert to electricity which drives a fan motor to push warm air from the stove. A magnet hold the fan in place anywhere on the top of the stove. This a very effective way to fit a a movement systen to any stove with a flat surface. It warms a room up pretty quick. Up here prices range from $80.00 and up depending on the size of the unit. Just a thought.
Oak and hickory chunk wood, sold for use in smokers by Lowe's, Home Depot, and other stores, burn phenomenally in this stove. I've split down some of the largest pieces that come in the bag, but for the most part just throw them in the way they come. After getting a good coal bed going, the larger chunks really extend burn time without having to continually add extra in. This is my go to fuel, along with pellets, which are finickier but burn great as well. Lots of options with this Mesa, gotta love it !
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!! Will be a great year watching more “Outdoors With The Morgans” videos with new adventures of doing things!! Can’t wait. Enjoyed today’s video. Also Love the Fire Starter, introducing it to my five brothers and more friends. Thanks for sharing.
Nice to see you Axel….have a fun and healthy new year!
LOL!.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I clean my stove glass by using a damp paper towel dipped in the wood ashes. Works wonders. After I get all the suet scrubbed, I take another damp paper towel to clean it off and then a dry one to dry the glass off. Ashes are free.
I have seen adds for this stove, but they did not give you anything to compare it to size wise. Thanks for this demo.
Hello Mike and Mellisa,
Great video, and the doggie is just beautiful. And just loves his mother there.
Happy New Year
Those are really cool Mike. I like your firewood starter too❤️👍
Thanks for your videos. Love them
My son-in-law uses small wood in his smoker and a small pizza oven. I get him a couple rounds twice a year and he loves it.
Happy new year to you all be blessed and stay safe
May your 2023 be a blessed year! Thanks for the wonderful look into your family life so far... truly inspiring! Hope you had a great break between Christmas and New Year! 👍
Happy New Year and many thanks for all the good videos you make. Kind regards from Denmark 😘
Happy New Year Morgan Family
Was able to order some fire starters this am before they got sold out. Anxious to get them and try. Happy New Year to you all.
Using some of the firewood ash in your cloth as an abrasive helps clean the glass easy and at no cost.
Happy New Year Folks out there in Morgan World!
Good morning Morgan family ☕️ Happy New Year on this wonderful Sunday, currently 50° here in Philadelphia and ready for a Mummers String Band parade… have a blessed day
The glass cleans up really good with a wet paper towel and ashes from the stove. Or a hot fire will also clean it.
This stove started as a Bush Buddy by the hiking community. It's a wood stove for cooking your food or boiling water for dehydrated food. It was made to use natural wood fuel found on the trail instead of carrying alcohol bottles or canister fuel. It's also good to use when there is a burn ban during dry conditions on the trail.
💯✅✌️🌠
That makes sense!
🤣😂
Used the same thing in the canoe tripping community. Worked well while out with small amounts of wood and did our cooking on one.
What I burn in my Solo Stove is more like what comes out of a wood chipper.
Happy New Year to the Morgan’s cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
When I go out hunting or fishing or overnight in the woods, I use what is available for my stoves. I have a kelly kettle and a bush buddy. It is just so convient when I am on the move or it is just me.
BUT when we go overnight camping in parks, you can't go scavaging in someone else's campsite or go deep in the trees to get the fuel. ( and sometimes you can't cut anything in a park ) So yes, I am a woodworker, so I cut long strips of some of my scrap maple or oak and chop saw them short and bring them with me. I usually grab a couple handfuls of planer shavings. So in that venue, I think there is a market. Add your fire starter and you have the whole package. 👍 I cut my pieces 1/2 to 3/4 x 3 inches.. And a few largers pieces. I don't use it for any recreational times. I fully cook on these. At a camp ground I cook everything with them.
The fire starter works great especially illuminating kindling!. That little solo stove isnt bad for a quick fire to make smores, we have a larger model for the ground and we love it!. HAPPY NEW YEAR MORGANS!.
GOOOOOOOD MORNING & HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE OUT THERE IN OWTM LAND!!!!
It’s a gorgeous Day here in Virginia Beach…Mike thanks for the video & review on the mini solo stove. Great seeing Hunter too.
GOD Bless yinz guys.
Thanks for the fire starter…purchased another bag..we absolutely love it. It works perfect!
Have a Day
Hey there HUNTER!!😊
Just thinking about you! 🎆
We tried out our new Mesa Solostove this afternoon before we saw your video. We split oak and pine for our wood burning stove to heat our house. When we do the splitting, we end up with small chips and bark. We used these to burn today. It worked really well. Now we have a use for the scrapes and can enjoy a table top fire while relaxing on our back deck. Happy New Year
Happy new year hope your family has a great one!
You could heat up hotdogs and sausage on a skewer over that too! I like Melissa's idea of the Jenga game lol!
