Great video. Suppose you have a pet , and you want the house to stay warm while you are gone for say 8 hours? How long can a load of wood heat the stove?
Hello, i had to write because i have come to find a certain peace that you and your wife seem to exude,yes you do not do everything perfectly but you try. If there was an award for “least pretentous” people online. I too have awoken to the self releance form of living. i too am learning and make mistakes, but people like you really are incouraging to people like me…..all the best for now….Luis
Some places in Colorado have banned woodstoves as so many people were using them, the air was so polluted. Wood smoke is still smoke. The “valve” in the pipe is called a damper and your lever on the stove is called the draft. This isn’t the greatest model of stove. I’ve burned wood all my life and bought the Canadian stove you have and have been very disappointed with it. I have a great Aspen stove with a jacket like an oil stove. The draft is regulated by a thermostat. Great stove!
@LethalResistanz on the better stoves you just need to use the lever on the stove the damper in the stove pipe is not needed and yes use the thermostat it will also help you control the stove and burn less wood. keeping the stove at the right temperature will reduce creosote .
try researching it. they give off emissions and pollute to a small extent (the more efficient — the less emissions). i wont argue that is definitely better than burning other fuels (gas, oil, etc). But it still gives off emissions.
Wood IS net zero and even less than zero. Natural gas, propane, heating oil, gas, diesel are ALL carbon polluters. Why is wood net zero? Because WOOD cleans the air! When? While it is ALIVE as a TREE! it pulls Carbon from the air equal to that which is released when the wood is burned. If you create any CHARCOAL from burning wood you have sequestered carbon in the charcoal and it can be buried in the ground for plants to use. This means wood can be net LESS THAN ZERO.
wood isn’t net zero carbon emissions.
there are a lot of efficient wood stoves out there (and this video will help you be more efficient), but I’m not aware of any products that boast zero emissions.
Woodstoves are awesome, my country stricker has a double burn system, the purple flame dances above the burning wood, really pretty, enough area on top to cook, it only has the oxygen control on the side. I’ve had it almost 10 years. I built a ceramic tile wall behind it. It’s a real blessing. Thank-You for your video.
Thanks , i hope that you passed a Merry Christmas .
The paint of my walls gets dirty due to the smoke which goes out when we open the stove to load it or the soot when we sweep the chimney , i’ll rebuild the wall(he’s old and craked) next summer and ” back” it with tiles to make it nicer and easy to clean : thanks for your advice .

You should always have a backing for all fire places (the tiles). If you are repainting your walls it means your heating them close to the point of combustion, just a matter of time for the house fire. If I was you I would install a backing ASAP.
Thanks for the laugh, I cracked up when you started laughing. I have the same wood stove as you. I think we’ve had it about nine years. EPA stands for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and probably the equivalent Of CSA Canadian Standards Association.
The epa certified stoves are better in many respects. Because they preheat the incoming combustion air they burn much hotter, stay lit easier on low damper settings, keep the glass clean, and dont send unburned smoke into the air. A hotter fire is a beautiful fire by the way with blues and greens in the flame its truly amazing to see. The tile wall should have a one inch air gap to be safe. putting even a small fan near the stove will increase the room heat by over 100%. wood net zero carbon!

Awesome & helpful video! Thanks for sharing this & all the others,we’re really enjoying them!
There’s a good draft on the young’un LOL

really neat video and thanks for all of the info. i actually stumbled upon your page by searching about kerosene lamps. we will be subscribing!
But wood burned properly is carbon nutral therefore has no effect on the enviroment.

see Psalm 127:3

say, where can I find that Bible verse you quoted at the end?

3 of us a row :s
EPA = Environmental Protection Agency,
Was in Simpsons the movie lol
EPA = Enviromental Protection Agency
Recirculating stoves (the newer ones) re-burn the gases, …….makes for a cleaner burn.

This man is an idiot
it helps if you have alot of draft
