Good morning ☕
Where is everyone watching from?
Merry Christmas🌲☃️🎅🏼❄️❤️🇺🇸 I'm from Southeastern Wisconsin and live one block from Lake Michigan.
Eastern North Carolina
Hello! Merry Christmas and cheers from Hungary :)
Merry Christmas from brutally cold and snowy Alberta.
I only see snow on tv ! Southern California
Merry Christmas guys! We are so happy you have some heat now ❤
Hi Josh, it's nice to see you here. How are you feeling, better I hope. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hey Merry Christmas
I'm texting from just about 5 miles north of Lake Pontchatrain and about 25 miles north of New Orleans in a town called Lacombe, Louisiana. Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great videos . Thanks for always sharing. 👍🏻🌲
We have a town called Lacombe in Alberta
Wow that's crazy. Another Lacombe. Wow . Thanks for sharing..👍🏻👋🏻
Hi Donald. Just north of you. I will be doing that soon if I get this property I been bidding on
Watching from North Battleford Saskatchewan Canada 🇨🇦
we have 21 solar panels and used to have problems having enough power in the winter until we got rid of our 12 volt storage batteries and went to 6 volt batteries instead,they hold a charge longer they were a game changer for us,we have an 8000 watt inverter on sunny days they can run 110 welder all day long
Yep, off grid dreams , one day we will have a top notch system
Love
SUGGESTION, ADD ANOTHER SUPPORT BRACKET WHERE THE CHIMNEY GOES OVER PORCH ROOF. THAT IS ALLOT OF CHIMNEY, THE WIND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE. I WOULD GET ANOTHER BRACKET JUST LIKE THE ONE ON FACIA BOARD. NICE STOVE. ALUMINUM PANEL BEHIND AND ABOVE STOVE IS A GREAT SAFETY FEATURE‼️‼️. Vinny 🇺🇸
make your battery fit on trailer what you need during winter months// pull behind the truck or tractor /use a charger split off your truck alternator ,and charge them when driving to town you should have 90AMP --ALTERNATOR / using gasoline in your drive on 1 or 2 hours can bring your batteries back up to good use in saving on gasoline to run generator
fun and plowing snow, fireplace and beautiful day. 😁😁
From MO. I can't get my work done because of you guys. I'm addicted to you videos. Lol Good hard work will pay off. Lvu guys. Your the best
I liked the cat @ 14:01 peeking their head thru the hole.
Katie was so happy!!!!!!!
Get double wall pipe for inside from stove to chimney. Lifetime warranty way way safer in the event of a chimney fire. And you dont have to replace it all the time.
Hey guys. I also have a blaze king. Mine a princess model. You should see if you can get a fan kit for yours. Makes a crazy good difference. Also recommend doing the fresh air intake kit. Sounds like your house is gonna be sealed up pretty good.
Water weighs a pint a pound, easy to remember but not really accurate. Also when driving your tractor around remember to keep the bucket close to the ground. Just a reminder from an old man in Washington state
Hinto looks so cute in the passenger seat
What wind generation, for when the sun is taking a nap and old man winter takes over.😊
As a suggestion install a Damper inside the chimney it will make your burning more efficient by not dampening the stove the fire will burn quickly and more wood will have to be used
Water is pretty heavy stuff. Good to remember 1 litre of water weighs 1Kg (and at 15 deg C, it does weigh 1kg exactly). At other temperatures, slightly different, due to expansion/contraction of volume. So, that 1000 litre container on the truck, would weigh 1000 Kg (2200 lb, or 0.98 tons) (perhaps slightly more due to temperature contraction of the water). That is a lot of weight to have on the back of the truck.
Well done Greg,& Katie! Warmth is the best, living where y’all do. I’m so happy for you.💯❤️👏🏾😀🙋🏽♀️✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
Happy you got it all hooked up and can finally be warm while you’re working inside! It is a beautiful stove!
Greg and Katie you guys make me laugh so much. I come home after work and the gym and watch you guys.
Pa. here! Chains make a huge diff. for the tractor! find some used ones and make them fit! new are so expensive!
Yes, we are always watching for them, no luck yet
Blaze Kings are AWESOME woodstoves!
Owned one for over a decade. One of my wisest purchases….
Follow the instructions religiously, tho…
People who don’t damage their catalytic burner!
That's awesome!!
Beautiful!! I used to cook on my flat top wood stove all the time! You’ll love it!!
Hi guys really impressed on how you both just get on with things no matter what happens. Looking at the shape of the house it's going to be sweet when finished the wood burner is definitely a game changer. Watching from England 🇬🇧
Merry Christmas! Just to see the smiles on your faces to see how excited you two are. Great team work on the plowing. Greg, I hope you don't have to go on the roof in snow that me nervous. We are in Tennessee, no snow fir us today's but you all's was beautiful.
It looks like fun to me! Enjoy!
I have loved watching you guys progress throughout the last year. I want to thank you for taking me along with you. Again you're a cracking couple and have had me holding my breath, marveling at your achievements and also chuckling at the occasional innuendo. Merry Xmas a many good wishes for 2022.

Merry Christmas from northern Michigan. This is huge! Love to see that stove up and running. Good job you guys! And that end loader is going to be your new fav thing for snow management around your place.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas & I really appreciated your tree. Your property & house are wonderful. Although due to my physical disabilities I had to relocate a few years ago but I still miss BC very much. I am glad you are creating this beautiful haven for yourselves.
Happy Christmas Greg & Katie.
I had the same type of stove super efficient, and there is nothing more relaxing then kicking back and just watching the flames. Enjoy you deserve it.
Nice stove .Happy for you two
I can only imagine how good that must feel. Congrats on another step forward. I can barely cope with winter in the UK, so am not at all envious of the picture perfect snow! Happy Christmas and a wonderfully fulfilling 2022!
Sweet stove
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas guys. Everything looking good. It's coming. Just keep keeping on. It will all come together in due time.

EI OFF GRID BUILDER.
Great choice of stoves. Worth the money.
Merry Christmas to you 2 and all the critters.
Good way to get water. At least you don't have to get it from town.
Merry Christmas from Cambridge UK. Great that you are getting some heating with the stove. Love watching you guys doing you build 😊
Me and my wife just installed a u.s. wood stove in our off grid cabin,what a great heat source, good morning from off grid upper central Maine
The best kind of heat!
@@ThisOffGridLife the propane heat in the RV caused us alot of moisture and mildew,the woodstove is good dry heat
From Queensland in Australia. Have a safe and happy Christmas and may 2022 be all that you want it to be.
Love the going for it log at the end. HAHAHA
How wonderful, the season is beautiful but the cold temperature really takes away the ability to function well. And today is Christmas 🎄 Day...so Merry Christmas and the year flow to accomplish your goals.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas 🎅🎄🎁
Merry Christmas to you both from Japan.
You both inspire us all. Thank's for sharing your journey with us. Hello and Merry Christmas from Southeast Alabama.
Thank you
HUGE step forward. So glad you could afford an efficient wood stove. It will make living easier & wood gathering/use so much better. No smoke in the house is the best news. Well done! Get that dutchy fired up & enjoy the fruits of your labor. 👍👍
Yes a fabulous job ❤❤
Great video Greg and Katie
Thanks kevin
Just started watching your videos
Yes you will need it because there will be many more cold weather and snow storms coming,so prepare it will be cold and snowy. Both of you have a very very Blessed Christmas and a even better New Year. I am watching you from Quispamsis , New Brunswick.
If you have to use the last nut/washer, bolt etc. and you are up high and have a chance of drop
ing and losing it put a tarp, blanket, old sheet on the ground so if you drop it you will have a good chance of finding it. I learned this the hard way.............
Merry Christmas
Around 80f here in east Texas, Merry Christmas to both of you

From deep in the Heartland of America; Kansas
We are in Central Florida. Nice day 76 F. Try to keep warm up there😎
Lovely to see the first fire going on, so Canadian getting a Blaze King ( wish I could get one in the UK). Merry Christmas and stay safe in these strange times 👍
We have the same wood stove! It is absolutely amazing. It is almost too much for our 320 SQ ft cabin, but we just open a window lol. You'll be amazed at how long you will be able to find hot coals. Great work guys! Enjoy your videos. Stay warm.
CURTIS Stone the urban farmer, replaced his stove with a Blaze king and loves it!
Good to see you got that heating figerd
Good morning everyone Greeting From Az❤️
Merry Christmas from Ridgetown southern Ontario
We lived with winter water only with a cittern when i was a child. We were allowed 2 inches of water in bathtub. No showers. And no running then tap for anything. Wash hands in cold as can’t run until hot water gets to tap. When we ran out in the winter it might be over a week until we could get a tanker out to full up the tank. Then we hauled buckets and jugs of water until we had refill. Family of 5. Mostly we could make the tank last all winter if we were careful.
It's been going fast with all the animals. We end up dumping a lot of ice blocks out. Trying to bring in their buckets overnight now to conserve, and melting snow for them, but it's a lot of work
Northeast Pennsylvania here, Good Morning.
There’s nothing like wood heat and it looks like you guys put together a good quality system that should last you forever
Merry Christmas, 88F here, summer in New Zealand
Merry Christmas from Oklahoma. This channel is my absolute favorite, truly inspirational. I was hoping to get my wood stove for my off grid cabin this week, but still on back order. Oh well at least I got to watch ya'lls.
Hope it arrives soon!
Merry Christmas and happy new year all the best in 22 take care be safe stay warm
