A huge step in our off grid dreams, we now have our wood cook stove installed and working! Audrey and I spent a lot of time thinking about what type of cookstove to buy. For the longest time my heart was set on finding an old reliable cookstove from the good old days. I found that it is really hard to find one that isn't rusted out, or beat up, or too much money. In all the searching we found this beautiful stove from La Nordica. It is compact (great for our little space) and very efficient and for $2000 we felt that we could give it a go. Now we have a heat source and a way to cook our food that is sustainable on our little homestead. One more big step toward being self sufficient.
I know the video is a little longer than usual, thanks for sticking it out.

SIX YEARS LATER, REALLY ENJOYABLE VIDEO, ILL CHECK FOR MORE RECENT. I HOPE ALL IS WELL,
Thank you for taking us along on your journey! You have a beautiful new wood stove and I am sure I could smell the gingerbread cookies baking in that gorgeous oven. I, too, am living vicariously through your videos and into a life off the grid. How I miss my wonderful Grandmother. So much she could have taught us kids about life as a pioneer in Northwestern Canada. I yearn for the simpler life when utility bills didn’t exist and one paycheque could support the family. I was meant for country life, raising chickens and pigs and growing all my own veggies. Sigh......
wonderful video folks! Thank you again for taking us along. I absolutely love learning along with you. God Bless you and your family.❤️
I installed stoves like yours, and one of the things you NEED TO DO is to put a REFLECTOR behind your inside stove pipe. Double flue pipe does not stop the heat. Inside flue can become red hot. Polished Aluminium or Stainless steel on ceramic spacers, 3/4 inch off wall allows airflow behind. Have seen walls char from heat. Maybe alfoil around timbers in roof/ceiling a good idea ,have seem them char also.
How wonderful... a beautiful wood stove, put in with no problems, and then everyone gets together to make some (delicious looking!) cookies. Congratulations yet again, guys.
Beautiful wood Cook stove, I can live vicariously through you guys. Excellent love your stove. Thank you for the video.
thanks for sharing this adventure with us. really happy for you guys.
+g ram Your welcome.
Great Video 📸☺️
Mmmmmm, really nice!! We need that too in the north part of Sweden 🙂
You and your family are amazing.. Thank you for the honesty, and sharing your challenges..
Wow! Congratulations you guys! That stove is now the heart of the house! Thank you for this video!
You folks are progressing really well!
Bravo!
We all look to see more developments in the future!
Thank you again,

Congrats, good choice, and good work. Easy to remember, 100 Celsius is the temperature at which water boils. :)
I am going through the same thing. Just put in a Magnum that is the brother to your La Nordica Rosa. So hard to find resources online. We hired someone to put ours in, it was about a 5 month wait. You are so adventurous, and I am cheering for you. Mine is heating up as we speak, baked potatoes going in. It, as everything homesteading is an Adventure. :)
Looks fantastic this is one of my dreams to have a fire place in my house!
Great stove, had our Nordica Rosa for seven years. Performs well for cooking and heating.
We are still liking ours as well. We are using ours to cook homemade pizza tonight.
Could you tell me how many ft2 your stove can heat in your home. Thanks !
Our house with the loft is around 900 sqft. In this mild climate the stove puts off too much heat for the place.
Looks great ! I grew up with my Mom cooking on one . The food tasted wonderful. Though during the summer it was very hot in the Kitchen. You may want to build a vent hood over it ,to keep your Wife from cooking also . Something simple you can open and close.
All my best.
Bobby
@6:55 thats called taking a leap of faith!!
I hear what your saying about supporting your locals... sometimes I have to scratch my head and say wt'heck... why are some people soooooo gready? I mean people have to make a living too, "but" to mark something's up sooo very high, unreal. So good for you on the choices you made.
I’ve cooked many a meal on wood cook stove and love it.
Does it make the rest of the house cold from the draft?
Great video !!! 😊👍
Hello you are doing well specially when has no experience. Berry good congratulations to all the families!
Thank you!
Like to say that I love all you videos and a big fan of your work. With that being said.... I strongly believe that you have a very strong supporter for your family and that is hard working wife!!!!! I love to work on my property projects and my wife is totally the opposite of me and hates hard dirty work. I think that if a couple thinks and performs together all barriers are broken and successfully you will accomplish such a task!!! Thank you very much for excellent videos of entertainment and keep up the good work. PS... your kids are so cute and will definitely will look up to you! Cheers!
+Israel Sarabia Hello and thank you for reaching out. Comments like yours help me know that I'm actually doing some good with my videos (it's hard for me to see sometimes). I agree with you. My wife is truly a blessing and not everyone likes rolling up their sleeves and getting dirty. She sure puts up with a lot though.
A friend found a wood cook stove in an old abandoned farm house. It’s about. 100 years old and works the exact same as your new woodstove. It’s a great design, He pulled it out of the house before the house collapsed and made 2 trips backpacking it out.
Absolutely brilliant & informative video! I’ve just bought one and this is so helpful - thank you 👍🏻
I bet those cookies at the end made the house smell delicious. I have really enjoyed watching this UA-cam series. Looking forward to the next one.
+Hombre Uno Those cookies were delicious. Not the hard dry gingerbread that you make houses out of but the moist yummy kind you can only get homemade.
You are brave. Great job!
Very nice cookstove and video! I would have like to see how you manage to attach the chimney to the roof. I favour buying local as much as possible but there is always a limit to. I'm not gone to complain about it as long as your chimney was manufactured in Canada! 🙂
Keep up your excellent work.
I think Amazon products are mainly from China. Otherwise those prices cant be so low.
Amazing thank you
Great Job, thank you for sharing.
THIS IS GREAT!
I just got the La Nordica in creme colour, my fella and I have been watching your videos, love them, keep them up, its so informative!
+Tinymoezzy Thanks a bunch. We love our stove. I hope you like yours just as much.
Leave the hearth that black grey. It looks a lot like slate. :)
Doing it right, good job! Nice stove as well.
My laughing heater is a creepy guy!!... ua-cam.com/video/4JxQB9EVhgw/v-deo.html
Very nice video !
I have a small scale firewood operations and will be building a camp net year which I will post on my channel. I am going to put a nice cook stove like yours in the camp. thanks for sharing.
I always thought that 100°C meant that water boiled. That would be 212°F. I also thought that 0°C was when water freezes, that’s 32°F.
I really miss your videos and I wish you would start making them again
Sorry I've been away so long. I hope to be back at it this summer.
Your video have a great. Thank you.
Great channel!
Nice looking stove. I would love to have one of these and love the size of yours. Good job. My husband was a roofer and does home remodeling so the install would come easier thankfully 😁
Good job
belle cuisinière !!! et vous pouvez cuire de bons gâteaux !!!en plus elle chauffe,et pour mijoter des petits plats ,c'est excellent !!!
super beautiful video < bravo for your life family project !
Thank you.
It helps on baked goods to turn your items half way thru cooking.
100 Celsius is the boiling point of water, my friend... =)
Nice stove.
Great instructions,,,
I watched an interesting video last week about a Pennsylvania couple, older, who have been using a wood stove for about six years now (Engineer775 on YT). The lady found a good book on wood stove maintenance and cooking. Some thing applied and some things didn't because it was a totally different stove. One thing that I didn't realize but learned from the video is that when cleaning the cook top you have to do so while it is still warm otherwise it will rust right away. Another thing was that the top turned more of a blue color. It's about two years now since you've installed your beautiful stove so I am curious as to how you like cooking on it and warming the house with it. The folks in Pennsylvania stated that they keep their home of 3,000 sq ft nice and toasty warm with it all winter. They run it 24-7 during the winter months.
So happy for you god bless
Love
Two thumbs up from me!!
I am patiently waiting for video on the whatever you built out of the pallet wood.
At 2:30, love the dancing moths or something flying around your light 😀👌, plus don’t you love the fleecing of Americans?
That plastic will create a vapor barrier that will trap condensation between the plywood and the plastic. Its going to work out great in the end though.
Actually, that bend will give you more heat in the house.😊

That is a beautiful stove. Be sure to find a nice pot to put water in on the stove as you heat your house. The stove will take a lot of humidity out of the air and the water pot will restore it. So you don't dry out your lips and such. Was there a reason you couldn't put the stove pipe one section to the left and do away with the angles in the exhaust pipe? Great job. I always am paranoid about putting holes in my roof too!
Just tripped over this video, so sorry I am late. I learned to cook on a stove much like this one and no gas or electric is quite as good. Though I will admit they are cleaner. The comments suggesting you put water on the stove are quite correct. Otherwise you can drag your foot the slightest bit and lose all the data on your digital device. Speaking from experience. Did you notice if that is a multi fuel stove? Many of them will also use coal. All mining issues aside, there are old piles of coal around mines and railroads where they put coal on the trains. Get yourself an oven thermometer (or two if you have an oven and warmer or oven and broiler. It would be good to measure the temps of the stovetop, as well. You can get the laser gun temp calculator or a stovetop ‘sticker’ for the stovetop. You will have to learn by trial and error, and will learn to ‘know’ the temp by looking at the top. But the temp gauges will shorten your learning curve significantly. Good luck!
Make sure you always keep a water pot on there, wood heat will dry out your entire home
How are you liking your La Nordica stove now that you’ve had some time with it? Your videos helped me decide to take a job assembling a 35’, tall wall kit from Smiling Woods for a client here in Maine. The job went well and my client is so happy with his yurt shaped house.
We still like our stove quite a bit. It does have a couple quirks but we got used to them and we use it all winter. It is cool that my videos helped you, and I'm so glad you let me know about your experience. We like our "yurt" and I'm glad your client does too.
I am sure you realized after the fact, that you could have put the diagonal piece of pipe further up the stack so it is less obvious to look at.
P.S. There are lots of Celsius Fahrenheit temperature converter apps and websites. 100°C is the boiling point of water (depending on elevation) 0°C is the freezing point of fresh water.
i just an observation, an interesting use of the word yurt, it is a russian word that simply means tent, it was used by the russians to describe the circula tents of the peoples of the russian steps, but the occupants of these tents themselves call them gers,
we have a culture many thousands of years old here in the UK of building roundhouses , I think your building has more in common with these than the tents of the mongols, nice stove better in use than the cast iron ones
+Devon Blacksmith This is a fun history lesson. Thanks a ton. I have learned a lot about yurts since starting this project. It seems that round house is a good fit too. Thanks for watching
Enjoyed the video, beautiful stove. Jobs like that are always a bit overwhelming when you've never done it before but you did ok in the end. Glad you got the haircut, thought you were going for the wolverine look
LOL !
Thanks. And yeah sometimes I go a while without a haircut. But it all works out.
1 tip and 1 question : Tip for Celsius , just remember 3 steps : 0 celsius is freeze point, 100 celsius is water boil point, 200 celsius is baking temperature for most things like bread/cookies/pies: ...
And 1 question : is there a specific reason why you didn't go for the "Termo" model of the XXL Rosa? This would give you the possibility to heat your entire house by hooking it up to radiators.
+cfen matisse Thanks for the tips, that is helpful to think of.
Wow, that "Termo" is a nice stove. It must not have been available when I bought my stove. It definitely wasn't offered by my supplier or in any of the other suppliers I was looking at. I guess I missed out.
Hi Simple Ground. Unfortunate but not a drama ;-) Almost all the La Nordica models have a "thermo" version. for example the Suprema also exists as "ThermoSuprema" , those have an advanced boiler system that you can connect to central heating and domestic water heating systems. Best regards
does the cook stove keep your house warm in the winter my house is 1040 sq feet I plan to place the stove in the kitchen im not sure if I should get the wood cook stove and a wood burner
i came to watch stove NOT ADS
Amazon must have been looking at the long range view in not making a lot of money in the early years as their products were a lot cheaper than the mom and pop stores, unless the mom and pop stores were a little greedy, but who knows.
I want one
wonder how hot it will get in the summer when you are canning and cooking. are ya'll going to have an outdoor stove for that? Know some of the other channels do.
+Mary West We currently have a camp chief that we plan to use in the summer for canning and cooking. We also have dutch ovens that we use quite often.
100 degrees C = 212 degrees F.
Calculation from C to F is: F = (degrees C x 9/5) + 32.
Calculation from F to C is: C = (degrees F - 32) x 5/9
So your thermostat in increments of 100 is 100 celcius 212 fahrenheit,200 cel 392 far,300 cel 572 far,350cel 662 far,400 cel 752 far,500 celcius is 932 fahrenheit. hope this helps 350 celcius for most baking or cooking.I really have enjoyed watching your vids,keep up the great work and I hope all goes well.
+joe lefaivre Thank you. This is helpful. Glad you are enjoying the channel.
350 Celcius for baking and cooking ????? I'd strongly urge you to recalculate ;-) 200 Celsius would be more like it !
joe lefaivre "350 celcius for most baking or cooking."
Only if you're making charcoal. 350C is 662F, and that's a temperature that even many pizza ovens don't reach.
A common temperature for cooking in an oven is 375F, which is 190.5C.
Greetings from Scotland, we are about to buy this stove, love your video 😀... was wondering what the latest was, do you still love it?.. any problems ?... do the hotplates stay hot without lid ( optional extra ) and do you need to constantly refuel to keep the temp up?
Sorry so many questions 🤔
Make sure you are careful with the little ones around the stove. When I was little we had a wood burning stove and while I was learning to walk, I put my hand on the side of the stove and was burned so bad that I almost lost the use of my hand.
You should cook a frozen pizza in that thang
CreeperVan Kevin I should.
Better yet, cook a fresh, home made pizza in it. Yum!
for cooking some things you should get the oven up to 400. Can you get the oven up to 400 .
Hi there! Love the video. I've just purchased the same model for my place in rural Italy. However, I am struggling to get the oven above 110c, and it's instead favouring the water heating. Any tips or tricks that I might have missed?
My model doesn't have the the water heating feature. But it does seem to take good dry wood to get hot. When I need to get my oven hot in a hurry I start with a bunch of small pieces that burn hot and once the heat gets up there I start some medium logs to start creating the coals for a long bake time.
is it fitted for heating water also ?
nice video
Hi, thanks for this informative video! If you don't mind, would you please share about how this stove is doing on heating your home? :) I'd love to get this same stove but we need one that will be our main source of heat for our home (1200 sq ft). Thanks in advance!
Frances, I have a similar model (the Rosa L) and my experience with both it and the other stoves I’ve owned is that even a small stove will heat 1200 sq ft easily IF you have decent air circulation. Where wood stoves struggle is when a house is chopped up by long narrow hallways. The heat won’t magically migrate down those hallways without help, so you can end up in one of those scenarios where the living room is 80 degrees and the bedrooms are all uncomfortably cold. Open floor plans and a few ceiling fans running are key.
You mean its perfect for summer?
Congrats! Super cool enjoy, & save me a cookie please,lol!
How well does it heat your house
How much money sir please tell me please
very nice sir!! me & my wife r debating if we should buy this or the kitchenQueen cook stove. so after 4-5 years in ur honest opinion do u regret or any regrets buying this brand? any issues so far, sir? thank u in advanca
btw new subbed here!
It is definitely a functional stove. We have enjoyed using it and it does bake well. It does have some things that aren't built like they used to. But it seems like it would be on par with what I know of the kitchen queen.
ok thank u! we decided to buy this one lol. anyway pls let me know where did u purchase it? there r too many fake website online selling wood stoves. pls provide where did h buy this one. if u can leave a link or something. tia
a good rule of thumb for converting C to F is by multiplying with 2. so 100C is ruffly 200F. (it would be 212F if you convert it precise) but it's good enough for cooking :)
There are 180 Fahrenheit degrees for every 100 Celsius degrees, so yeah, multiplying by 2 is pretty close.
The exact formula is (C X 1.8) + 32 = F. Going the other way: (F - 32) X 0.555... = C.
Hi there! I would like to ask you a question about the kitchen stove, is about the tube that you have use, is a 150 mm diameter? Do you think is enough? Thank you very much in advance and we like a lot Your vídeos,Greatings from spain.
Perdón cuanto es el costo solo por saber
I've figured out how to perfectly cut the cylinder into the angled roof without making a mess.
If I may make a suggestion,make sure you don’t remove the ash that will land on top of your oven portion, under the hot plates. The ash will give your oven a more even heat,
new subscriber here . it looks like ive got some catching up to do
+carterk Welcome and happy watching. Feel free to ask questions as you go.
La Nordica stoves are not made in Italy, as a former dealer I was left with in excess of $1500000 in stock because of the problems I had with customers.
Wow. What were some of the common problems? Maybe this can help some people.
Yes please tell us what we’re the problems ? Thanks
Did you buy special baking pans to fit inside your oven or would standard pans work? Is it large enough you could cook a turkey in the oven ?
Most of our pans do work. A regular sheet pan is the max size.
i live on the Navajo Reservation in Arizona and cooking a turkey in a wood buring stove? nope! We cook our turkey on top in a stew pot and the turkey in a oven bag.... or we cook it in the ground... sooo damn good the meat falls off the bone.
You left us hanging on the solar system and batteries. What's up? Also you might consider in investing in a cheap hand truck/dolly. It will make life much easier.
+John Smith sorry to leave you hanging. I'm literally working on that one right now. You won't see it for a few days though.
Thanks for the reply. I will be looking forward to seeing what you worked out.
I allso do that error whit my sauna fireplace. When i start warming the sauna it scares the hell out of me when the factoryoil start burn and making the smoke. whole sauna was full of smoke and I was sure that I fucked up the fireplace instalation and the whole house is burning down 😂
Fahrenheit to Celsius is easy, 100 F -32= 68. 68 times 0.55 = 37.4 Celsius. That's it.
You should ALWAYS KEEP THE STOVE PIPE 24 INCHES AWAY FROM FRAMING AND RAFTERS AND NO INSULATION WITHIN 24 INCHES FROM THE STOVE PIPE . YOU PUT THE STOVE TOO CLOSE TO THE WALLS !!!
Inland hurricane is called a TORNADO..
HEY GUYS DOES THIS HEAT THE HOUSE TOO
Yes it does.
👏👌👍
You used the wrong flashing for a metal roof. That will eventually leak.
I can already see you guys stubbing your toe on it. 😂😂😂
14:26 Lmao.. Sometimes i laughed when i realized American doesn't know Celcius
Any way, great video sir!
Oh god not another.
100c is about 212f
А почему не позвали соседей помочь или друзей....Печька отличная!
