Hey, Eric & Arielle! If the paint was poorly done at the factory then it all needs removing and degreasing before repainting or it will keep flaking away. When you're drying out freshly milled lumber, try to put spacers/stickers between every layer in your drying pile. Good problem solving on the chimney installation. I'm looking forward to all the major projects this summer.👍🏼
Get a 4x8 sheet of cement board for between the stove and wall. You can set that stuff right on a hot surface and not feel the heat on the other side. Stuff is great for keeping heat away from flammable surfaces. Another thing is a fan behind the stove up high blowing down at a 45 degree angle really helps keep the heat down at the floor where you want it.
They are probably waiting on spray foam installation before constructing a surround for the stove. They installed surround at old cabin and it looked great.
I would go for a thermal mass like stone or besser block, will absorb the heat from the stove and flue and hold that heat like a heat bank. Yes, all the way to the thimble!
Suggestion from my woodworking man is to take less wood off with the planer at a time. Saves your blade and wood will be smooth. Love spending a little time with you two interesting people.
And if you are going to do a lot of planning then maybe upgrade to a more expensive planner as you won't regret it. They have good resale value too if you get a good one and look after it. Also buy good quality know branded blades. Good luck. Love the sawmill and the new storage shed. Pretty cool.
Everybody saying exactly what I’m thinking - whoopee, one of your videos has landed! Always different, there’s no way yours are formulaic and predictable. I love them, you are brilliant.
I was kind of shocked, when you said you have a coal burning stove! I really don't know enough, about burning this kind of fuel, except from all the horrible stories of factories, putting out so much pollution! It seems you already have a huge amount of wood available, so to me, that would be your choice in fuel! Is it economical for you to have to buy coal? Do you have to drive far to buy it? Is it expensive? Do you feel good about how much smoke it produces? Let us know what your opinion is on this subject!
I didn't think Ariel could get anymore huggable but she did with the new hairdo. Lol. The coal stove is really cool. When your shop is heated in the long winter days you will be doing all kind of projects. So happy for the two of you. Be safe.
Yipeeeeeee!!! Oh my gosh, once you get that spray foam insulation done that place with be an INCREDIBLE asset! Who am I kidding, it's already an incredible asset. But it's going to be SUCH a luxury to have so much heated space with excellent lighting to work in and store everything in under cover. This is going to allow you to take on all kinds of projects in the winter that have never been possible, and to do a lot of things you have always done outdoors in winter (and frozen your fingers off) in a warm conditioned, well lit space. Having this shop will greatly increase your comfort level, productivity and the number of projects you can take on, in winter especially. All your hard work is really paying off. Congratulations!
All I know is the 2 of them can do anything. Maybe not in the first shot, but they always figure it out. Great team. For the 2 of them to move a 1050 lbs stove by themselves amazing
During your saw milling process, stack your lumber with spacers on every row high. It allows air to pass through and your lumber to dry. The spacers are called stickers and should be spaced 18 inches and directly on top of the previous sticker. This keeps your lumber straight and greatly helps with warping.
Love your videos. Here's a pro tip for you. The chimney piping is installed backwards. Stove discharge slips inside the exhaust pipe, the end of that pipe will be crimped down to fit into the next. This ensure no exhaust leaks as the flow of gas slipspast each joint. Also, you're bogging down your plainer. Take smaller shaves, you have really rough cut lumber. the blade will last longer. God bless y'all. Much love!
Noted this as well The collar should go over the stove outlet then into the upright pipe to prevent noxious fumes like carbon dioxide, and smoke from leaking into the building. Plenty of stove cement might fix Eric's install but as you describe is the correct method !
Okay I sure hope that the people that buy items from take-note of the way the two of them curtailed all that stuff that is used by this amazing team!!!!!!!
Always love your videos, thanks for doing them. Not only are the entertaining but also filled with how to tutorials. Mosquitos??? Dang, isn’t that early? Love how you figure things out out and always work in tandem.
I watch many Alaska UA-camrs because I am originally from Alaska and your videos are absolutely the BEST, as a couple I admire your relationship, as a videographer you are amazing. I always look forward to your videos every week. You fill my loneliness for Alaska
I just love your videos. They're always interesting, always different, and - I have to say this - I REALLY appreciate that not a single one of them has ever been marred by an awful "this week's sponsor" ad. Instead, if you like stuff, you tell us, and if you don't like stuff, you tell us. Thank you for that and for taking us along on yet another adventure.
Pesonally I can't see how any video is "marred" by a sponsors ad. These YT channels are all about revenue raising to support the YT creators way of life that they share with the world. Many people help support the channels by being Patrions but others need sponsors to survive. Seems a pretty selfish attitude that you'd begrudge these guys the support of sponsors money, just so your viewing isn't interrupted. These 2 make beautiful videos and deserve all the support they get. Including sponsors if that's the path they choose. Time you lifted your viewing attitude to match their presentation attitude.
Oh, goodness, YES! I understand people have to do that to make a living. I get it. But man alive, I am SO burned out hearing nearly every video I watch always shoving products in my face.
that stove being able to burn coal is a game changer, less wood to cut & the coal will burn hotter for longer!!! the shop is coming along very well.. thanks for sharing with us & be safe!!!
I went from burning a fireplace to a big heavy wood stove and the difference was day from night. My place is good size and most of the time I can get a fire burning that's just right. I so enjoy it. So glad yours is ready when it gets cold. Thanks for the videos. From Central Oklahoma
I love your videos. Not too little, not too much; just the right information given. It is not boring. Very informative But interesting. One of the best Alaskan videos. You two make the videos fun and interesting. Keep going.
I lived with a coal stove for heating in Massachusetts many years ago. Compared to wood stoves the burn is much more consistent and easier to bank over night. We had a couple cast iron antique parlor stoves and a kitchen cook stove which used gas for 4 burners and woodbox that we'd use coal or wood on the side. With the cast iron we'd polish it with stove polish and use newspaper as the rag. We stored the coal in the basement but our house was set way back from the road so we had to haul the coal in ourselves (ugh). We also had a kind of mailbox looking thing that we'd put the ash in and reclaim any clinkers. Nice memories. :)
Not according to the instructions I received with my wood stove, and with the stovepipes that came with it. (Two different brands). The idea behind that is that when you install it as they did, any dripping liquid tars and creosote will fall back into the combustion chamber rather than oozing over the top and sides of the stove. Intuitively , you'd tend to think that you'd want to "funnel" the rising smoke toward the top, but in reality it's more important to "funnel" the dripping creosote in each section of stovepipe into the section of pipe below it, and from the bottom section back downward into the stove. I've seen it done both ways and seen the results of both. Their way works better. As long as the chimney draws decently, escaping smoke isn't an issue; it just doesn't happen.
😃I can only admire the effort you folks put into "SIMPLE LIVING" in Alaska. Thanks for taking us along on your awesome journey, your videos are a learning experience. 💥👌👍
I have a coal stove at home, 200 m2. Coal has a lot of calories, gives a lot of heat and burns for a long time. And the chain on the side of the stove is a very good device: it regulates the air flow and slows down combustion. cool!
I've had a small saw mill (Woodland mills HM122) for 3 years now and I found when you cut the wood if you put stickers in between the layers the wood will dry much better. You two are my favorite channel to watch. Always anticipate the next post. Thanks . Bob
I’ve been burning coal for at least 10 years.I love the heat. For my stove I have to shut down once mid heating season and clean the working parts. It’s not a problem but I try to do it on a couple of warmer days since it takes time to get the stove back to full heat.
4.5 cu.ft. is a huge amount of space, that's bigger then most dorm refrigerators hold (3.5). Those planks are going to plane out beautifully and look great on the QH. Always good to see you two are doing well.
i watch alaska the last fronter and what I've seen and heard coal is easy to get in alaska in va I have not been able to buy it for about 10 to 15 years
That skeeter was the size of a hummingbird! Lol! Love the variety in your videos, it's amazing how much mult tasks you've got going on at once, keeps it all interesting, being innovative is a must living there, you'all are masters in so many different fields, keep it happening! 💪👍🤠
It never ceases to amaze me when you bring out yet another tool or bit of kit! I'm still waiting though, for the day when you get a pig and a house cow 😁
But, nice as it would be, having a cow would greatly curtail all their hunting and fishing trips. There is not a lot of pasture for one either. They have their priorities right.
Your guys videos are great evertime a video drops I stop everything I’m doing to see what project you guys are working on next. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻
Those snow geese left their winter hang out here in the PNW about a month ago. Glad to see they are back to their summer digs. Always a pleasure watching you guys . Take care
Glad to see that you are putting heat in the shop with the big stove it looks like it can warm everything up inside and I'm liking the new shop thank you and have a nice week. 🇺🇲🇺🇲 💞☕💞
A great looking wood stove, guys!! Small wood stoves typically weight good 200 pounds and more. I can't believed this big buy weights 1000 pounds and Eric is moving it. Wow, dude!!! You're one strong guy!! Great job on troubleshooting your new generator, Eric. Having a good working generator is very crucial when you live off-grid. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!
Wow, now that's a decent firebox. It will make a huge difference working in the hut for you both. We are starting into winter here in the south west of Western Australia and had to light our fire last week. We burn Jarrah trees here as it burns hot and has minimal fine ash. Keep up the great work!👍😊🇭🇲
You guys rule. I see little things that could help you a tiny bit but I always see it too late! You’ve already found a way around. Keep doing what you do. You’re helping others live a better life.
When I lived in Alaska they called them mo-squitoes because they were so big. The Stove Is A Beautiful Stove. I personally think that it's going to give you many years of service.🙏🕊️🌹🥀🌼🌻☕💜❤️
As always, FUN ! I get excited when I get notification of your video. Love each week, always something fun. I felt your nerves up on the roof Aerial 😅😅😅. Fireplace is really 👌
Greetings from Pakistan.Really appreciate your efforts for installation of coal burning stove so professionally.Now you will enjoying working in heated workshop. Keep working,traveling, camping, fishing, hunting,cooking, eating, gardening, canning and smiling.
Awesome job! With that monster stove installed, you should be able to work and store comfortably out there year-round. A great find and install. Looking forward to seeing your first batch of coal run in it! Thanks for bringing us along and enjoy your glorious spring!
Fantastic accomplishments again; thanks for sharing! Loved how Bandit got close to the warm stove. Funny bloopers & I’m amazed how smoothly you talk to the camera most of the time. You’re very talented in so many ways! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
You will love the stove! I have same stove! Light it once in fall and go out in spring! So so easy to maintain. I assume will burn coal if you can! 1 40lb bag each 2 days, shake ashes once / 24hrs! Hope you have access to coal over wood. Coal is so so much better! 😊
You should stack and sticker the green lumber in your shop with the wood stove to dry it out and keep the moisture from settling on the boards at night.
Yes, you could also use one of the diesel heaters to push air thru the stack. But the stack must be able to breath spacers would be a must and not too hot!
On that stove distance from the wall: the back of the stove actually should be 26 inches from your studs, because you need to allow for the inner wall cladding PLUS you need a heat deflector/shield that has a 1 inch air space between it and the wall. An easy way to create that air space is to make your own spacers using 1-inch pieces of copper pipe: run the bolts through the heat shield and the pipes into the wall. You can't just put your heat shield up against the wall because it will conduct heat into the wall boards. The air gap allows air to flow upward via convection and actually keeps the wall cool, even as the heat shield gets super hot. You probably know that you can buy heat shields that are asbestos board, covered with black metal on the stove side. Or you can make your own using cement board and sheet metal. Fire safety precautions are even more important in very cold dry climates like what you will experience there in the winter because the air is full of static electricity and that adds exponentially to the fire danger. Probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but just saying. The building is looking awesome!
"Good thing I'm fast at screwin', huh?" That's not always a good thing, Eric. 😂🤣 Another great video! You two blow my mind. I really enjoy seeing the hutzpah you have to take on the projects that you do.
Double insulated pipe is the way to go! I experienced 1 stove pipe fire. I was so so glad the builder encouraged me to get the double insulated pipe. As I sat by the stove as the small section that wasn't double insulated glowed red, through the night, I could at least be sure the attic wasn't on fire. I went out into the cold to check the metal roof, it was good. I love seeing how you work out problems, making you real people, showing us the Good, Bad and the Ugly! Also, the Cute, Delish, and Beautiful! ~Marie [living in Washington where cold cold only happens sometimes.]
Getting a new stove is right up there with buying a new car, maybe even more so. Getting to set it up, and tinkering with all of the cool features looked like such satisfying fun. With that new stove, and the in floor heating you installed, I would think you could make that shop a very pleasant place to be even in the harshest of AK winters. I really enjoyed this one, nice job!
If we don’t hear from you we will know the mosquitos carried you away. Huge. Lol. Stove looks terrific and will put out the heat. Give Bandit and Pepper a hug from me.
Putting the braces at a wider angle was a very wise move, that will help stabilize the pipe in high winds. Great job. 😃
Hey, Eric & Arielle! If the paint was poorly done at the factory then it all needs removing and degreasing before repainting or it will keep flaking away.

Wow what a burner! I can just visualising a washing line strung up in the shop when you have a tonne of wet washing to dry on a wet day!
Boy will that puppy dry laundry in a hurry in the dead of winter! You guys always find a way to adapt and overcome. Have a blessed week!

You did the flue pipe backwards. The bottom part goes inside the pipe. That is how you keep the combustion within the pipe. But you made it work!👍
Agreed 💯
Not according to the instructions I received with my wood stove, and with the stovepipes that came with it. (Two different brands).

Fantastic accomplishments again; thanks for sharing! Loved how Bandit got close to the warm stove. Funny bloopers & I’m amazed how smoothly you talk to the camera most of the time. You’re very talented in so many ways! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
That coal ash is no joke and builds up fast! Please wear a mask when cleaning out the ash. Great show!
looks awesome.... Growing up we always slipped the pipes over the collars and sections to help keep smoke from coming up through the connections....
Yes, put the chimney over not into the mount on top of the stove.
You will love the stove! I have same stove! Light it once in fall and go out in spring! So so easy to maintain. I assume will burn coal if you can! 1 40lb bag each 2 days, shake ashes once / 24hrs! Hope you have access to coal over wood. Coal is so so much better! 😊
Happy to see your video today. Your hut is moving right along. Very nice goal/wood stove.
You should stack and sticker the green lumber in your shop with the wood stove to dry it out and keep the moisture from settling on the boards at night.
This. Stickers are needed at the very least, but inside the shop with the woodstove running wouldn't hurt either.
Yes, you could also use one of the diesel heaters to push air thru the stack. But the stack must be able to breath spacers would be a must and not too hot!
Great job as usual. Workshop be warm enough for work in all temperatures . Don't forget to bolt the stove down.
On that stove distance from the wall: the back of the stove actually should be 26 inches from your studs, because you need to allow for the inner wall cladding PLUS you need a heat deflector/shield that has a 1 inch air space between it and the wall. An easy way to create that air space is to make your own spacers using 1-inch pieces of copper pipe: run the bolts through the heat shield and the pipes into the wall. You can't just put your heat shield up against the wall because it will conduct heat into the wall boards. The air gap allows air to flow upward via convection and actually keeps the wall cool, even as the heat shield gets super hot. You probably know that you can buy heat shields that are asbestos board, covered with black metal on the stove side. Or you can make your own using cement board and sheet metal. Fire safety precautions are even more important in very cold dry climates like what you will experience there in the winter because the air is full of static electricity and that adds exponentially to the fire danger. Probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but just saying. The building is looking awesome!
You two are one smart couple.😊❤😊
"Good thing I'm fast at screwin', huh?"
That's not always a good thing, Eric. 😂🤣
Another great video! You two blow my mind. I really enjoy seeing the hutzpah you have to take on the projects that you do.
That's what she said. 😞
Everything looks good! When mishaps happen, we call them "adventures" :) Glad spring has arrived for you!
That stove is a monster!
I love that yall are starting to show your realness more 😂 like the little bickering & the jokes. Im about it!
You were both making me nervous up that high. I don't do heights. Glad you got it up and in
Double insulated pipe is the way to go! I experienced 1 stove pipe fire. I was so so glad the builder encouraged me to get the double insulated pipe. As I sat by the stove as the small section that wasn't double insulated glowed red, through the night, I could at least be sure the attic wasn't on fire. I went out into the cold to check the metal roof, it was good. I love seeing how you work out problems, making you real people, showing us the Good, Bad and the Ugly! Also, the Cute, Delish, and Beautiful! ~Marie [living in Washington where cold cold only happens sometimes.]
Yay a vid! Put sticks tween your wood to dry it better. Planer needs dry wood. Also, dont try to take so much off on 1st pass. Love the new stove!
Love and Appreciate Y'all SLA Eric and Aeriel❤️ Great Job 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm here for that "tape off job on the glass"!
Getting a new stove is right up there with buying a new car, maybe even more so. Getting to set it up, and tinkering with all of the cool features looked like such satisfying fun. With that new stove, and the in floor heating you installed, I would think you could make that shop a very pleasant place to be even in the harshest of AK winters. I really enjoyed this one, nice job!
If we don’t hear from you we will know the mosquitos carried you away. Huge. Lol. Stove looks terrific and will put out the heat.
Give Bandit and Pepper a hug from me.
Amazing guys , I can’t wait for garden videos stay safe sending lots of love Lisa from England xxx
