Thanks for watching out cabin build adventure @cobramatt1! We appreciate your encouragement and comments! Please subscribe to our channel if you enjoyed our content. We plan on building an outhouse and outdoor shower this spring as well, hope to have you join us!
We are getting ready to move in and run the fireplace for the first time in the cabin this week we hope! Just went out yesterday and raised my outside chimney pipe higher for a total of 2 feet above the apex of the roof line, so its the right height now. Thanks for watching and for your interest and great comments!
Here's the video I did all about the stove and the prep and seasoning (Test Burn). I ended up obviously going with double walled pipe instead of the single walled I showed in this video. ua-cam.com/video/-UcbjmrZ4Us/v-deo.html
Glad to hear it Allan, we have learned alot as well! This has been a good learning experience for both Brittany and I and turned out well. I hope you can learn from our mistakes too!
You might want to look into how high above the roofing material you have the vent exhaust. I beleive 3ft is considered a safe distance. Wouldn't want extreme heat or sparks to cause damage to the structure.
Thanks so much Hobbs, you are correct. I had the chimney around only 8 inches above the apex highest point of my roof. It is supposed to be 2 feet above the highest point of the roof when coming out of the side of the structure. Fortunately I had a telescopic chimney pipe outside, so yesterday I got out and raised the chimney. I did film it and discuss this for the next video as well. Thanks so much for your comment and being engaged with our adventure!
Yes sir. This is an easy off grid cabin build. I definitely did not want to go through the roof, and a side wall vented chimney is common. I did give the horizontal run of double walled stove pipe a slight downward tilt on toward the outside, so any moisture shouldn't roll into the stove. We have had snow, rain, and sleet since we completed the install and so far so good!
I thought it was better to have the angle more towards the stove so that creosote can run back in and burn off in the stove rather than building up inside the pipe and possibly catching fire in the pipe? I'm using 45° angled elbows for this reason. But I'm putting mine in a tent, so I have more flexibility, literally.
No its 4 inch from the stove at the increaser into 6 inch double walled pipe. Thanks for your question and for watching! Please subscribe if you enjoy our content👍🏽
Loved the series. Thanks for posting your build.

Great job. It looks fantastic. Enjoy.👍👍
Thanks 👍
I have the same stove board protector on the floor and wall, looks nice
Great! It's working great for us. I'm glad you are using the same.👍🏼
Wow looking so good
Thanks, coming along nice. Should be done this week and moving in for the final reveal! Thanks for watching Bob!
That will be so cozy even at the lowest temps mother nature will throw at you! Can't wait to see how it burns. Need to do video on the stove! Please!

1/8" x1" band steel, wrap it around a 7" diameter with a 90° tab on both ends, paint it black and use 1 heavy strap clamp to the wall.
Thats a great easy and cost effective way to go! Thanks for your comment @Raymond Rothstein. Please subscribe if you enjoy our content.
Is the horizontal pipe angle what you want? It sounds like you created a collection point for water and creosote, that low point on the outside elbow.
