Wow, folks please note that he is saying “in an emergency “ what your “insurance company says” is a nonexistent background noise when your family is freezing in an emergency situation. Most of you folks probably have an app telling you when to drink water or go to bed for you as well. The government is not your friend and they certainly are not there to help you. Be self sufficient.
Plumbing and Mechanical codes have all the info you need on venting. I highly suggest you get familiar with those chapters and nix the info on this installation
The only thing better and less expensive than this would be a rocket stove with mass heater! They are very simple to build and a 55 gal barrel makes a good cook top! Adding an oven is the only thing I haven't done yet, but I already see how easy that would be to add. This is an excellent info video! Thanks for sharing!
Light a fire in that or any woodstove outside of the house before you use it inside. You need to burn off any oil or chemical residue before using it indoors. Survival stoves are not supposed to kill you
I used to install stoves for a living. Respectfully, you are wrong. More importantly, don't set this up like this guy did with no stoveback. You'll burn your house down easily if installed like in this video.
@@jerrodlopes186 I know you're not talking to me.. right. I ran a Blaze King for 10 years with OSB all around it, never had a problem. All it did was get a little warm. But this guy's chimney I will agree is a bit dubious. Should have at least double wall if not triple going through that plywood.
Need to Protect wall behind it- yeah, insurances won’t like it.. but better than dying. Also- I would put wire to support pipe outside from weight of snow or strong winds 💥
Scott S. your insurance people are humans. If SHTF they're gonna be home trying to figure out how to survive too. Not in the office pushing pencils and making phone calls. If the grid goes down, none of that will even be possible. THINK
Hi I am a educated chimney sweeper in my country, with 10 years behind me. This stove looks okay to me, if there is and guide for fire safety, and installation. But I can see some major security breaches on the fire safety. First the chimney pipe must be safely fastened, to something strong and not flammable material. And keep at least 3+ inches to flammable material all around. Secondly. The Stove Shall never ever stand on an flammable material, but on stones / clinkers / metal or Heated Glass (I do not regiment heated glass due to it is to heavy an it can break) I'd recommend 20+ inches in front of the stove, and to the sides 6+ inches. Be aware of that the plate need to be goes all the way to the wall behind the stove in a square shape. (This is so if you drop some sparkle or bigger in the dark there is a lot less chance of fire inside the house.) For the third. For the stove to flammable material, there need to be at least 3+ inches all around. Or whatever the manufaktur prescribe. (!!Remember to always follow the manufacturers advice!!) And if you want any other boring advies I am here.
Hmm the combustion chamber is fine yet any bigger you will need b-vent material if you would like to get deeper into the aspects of the install the oven part changes its over all volume related to combustion factors which is the only reason you are allowed single wall pipe in this situation. Also when installing 26gauge 4inch for exhaust venting please install it going in the proper direction the crimped end away from the combustion box. This will prevent a down draft from blowing carbon monoxide into your home during said emergency situation. Also remember tolerances are based on btu burn rates and the size of the burn box for the amount of ash soot and carbon left in the box on an average burn hour. Please always remember to clean the burner box area as excess ash and hot coals could burn through the burner box the reason for never mounting on wood. If you must use this save me stove buy a piece of durarock concrete board 1/2 will be sufficient to prevent a what if scenario till you can put out the ash if it does burn through and lands on the floor plus durarock is fire resistant for number of hours. anything bigger the burn box would need the proper stone hearth to prevent heat damage to the floor and surrounding areas this obviously not a cast iron design. I'm also in the heating cooling industry I'm even thinking I may want one of these for my self. Just to have in that what if moment
I was thinking the same thing. Never put flammable material under or around the stove. Make sure to allow plenty of space around it. Those things get HOT!!!
ha! I'm glad I'm not the only one watching this video FOR THIS WINTER CONSIDERATIONS, even though the video is over 4 years old---I would actually like to install a more permanent cast iron wood burning stove---but it would be a bigger renovation that this quickie. Still, it would be great in an Emergency.
@@bobcat8439 I asked My Son in law we’re I could install on in my house.. HE KNOWS HOW TO DO IT, BUT Wont.. he said if my house catches on fire my insurance wouldn’t pay off .. UNLESS PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION.. this video doesn’t show using a triple pipe insulator.. ?
@@benholler1389 Maybe because that's one he's being paid to promote? Basically, the point is that people who live in cold climates should have a backup source of heat for emergencies.
I have owned the same exact stove for a few years now. It puts out alot of heat and is very portable. I used several times in winter during power outages. Heats your home and cook on it and the water tank on the side is awesome for hot water. Gives you peace of mind that you have an option in a bind if something happens.
Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Also, as a Marine Vet. Having canned foods, plenty of extra water containers and MRE's is also a great thing to have.

We use something similar at our 3-bedroom Fishing Camp in Canada. Only real pain is having to get up during the night to add more firewood. Cabin is just over 100 years old and that heater/stove has been here for over 40 years. We bring new Smoke Detectors/ CO2 Detectors every year but never an issue. Amusing reading many Safety Sally comments. All part of the New fragile America.
Muskietime: thank you...I needed some 1st hand experience about these types...I'm lady in 70s off grid cabin with temps nights mornings dip to teens & single digits...my antique woodstove blew out seams & sealers weren't holding & pipes started breaking jagged holes. Prices new cast iron stoves & double pipes increased beyond what I had saved back for new stuff. People keep telling me just get one of these campstoves to get by but companies warn only for outdoor use. Why would they put out more Co2? Seam leakage? I'm so weary being cold numb a'll night & morning. Appreciate your story, comforts me.
@@patriciamampel3601 I am sorry for your struggles but very impressed with your strength. Be sure you have a tight seal ducting (inside and out) as you do not want carbon monoxide buildup in side the home. Also, be aware of carbon buildup (need to clean the flu every year) as it can ignite if not maintained. Lastly, as mentioned before, please have at least one working carbon monoxide alarm in the area.
@Petal Pusher Unfortunately, nature only provides the trees that are around you. In some areas such as around our cabin on a Shield Lake in Canada, the soil is sparse and hardwoods rarely grow.
@@muskietime did you ever get a decent stove, I'm in the states, I don't think there's much I could do to help, but the idea of a lady in her 70s freezing all night really bothers me.
Thank You for sharing this video. Especially being that You had NOTHING to gain. It was to let other's know about the ability to have emergency (operative word) heat, cooking stove and hot water. All things that are very basic in a Non-Emergency situation. Your above description was incredibly clear as was your video. I appreciate your taking the time to make this and share it. Be Safe and Well.
I'll stick with my kerosene heater. Kerosene can last for years, properly stored. A 1/2 gallon in my heater(a rectangular one, with removable tank, heats up to 500sq feet, fits my needs) lasts for 14 hours, so that's 140 hrs, almost 6 days, from one 5 gallon can(I have multiple 5 gallon cans). This has worked well for me over the last 40 years(I've replace the heater about once every decade)and I live rural in northern MI. It has never failed me in a power outage and since I'm almost 70, this is very easy for me to fill(I fill the tank outside), start and run. I've always had a CM detector(update that every 3-4 years)which has never gone off.
That's cool to have and I think everyone should have kerosene or propane heaters. But there could come in time when we can't get kerosene anymore but surely we could find some wood.
This youtube said terrorist attack. Lincoln predicted that no one can mess with the USA. We are destined to live through the ages as free men or die by our own hand. I am having trouble telling the difference between 80's Russia and 20's USA
Another Texan here preparing for the next disaster also. I have been welding on my wood heater that I'm building from two large air compressor tanks my old job gave me. It will be an outdoor unit piped inside. It's time to prepare to go "Grizzly Adams", style now that we know our Texas tax paid government officials will take luxury vacations on our tax dollors while the rest of us here have no power, heat or gas in freezing temperatures.
Your best investment is a generator and a heat pump type of air conditioner which is fairly common in Texas. Make sure your heat pump has a switch over box so you can plug your generator into it. What good is it to have an emergency wood stove? If you live in the burbs, where would you get emergency wood that is dry enough to burn in it?

As a professional chimney sweep I can tell you that this installation is more dangerous than a cocked pistol. Plz don't do this !!!
@ I agree. That is strictly a camping stove for use outdoors. The plywood could easily catch fire from dropped embers or the stack pass through. Woah to the fellow who sets fire to his house with that and tries to get his insurance company to fix it. They won't.
It's interesting how you set this up because I have a Colorado Cylinder Stove and I set mine up the same way. My stove sits on a fireproof blanket and I use a cement backer board to protect the wall. I have used it in two real-life situations where we lost power for over 12 hours (and it was 0 - 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside). I don't have the little oven attachment but that also seems like a good idea. The water jacket is also a great addition for things like coffee, soup, and dishwashing.
If the stove is running during the rain, the pipe will be hot enough to vapor off the rain. Same if it is snowing. BUT! One can get some "stove rope" that is fiberglass rope for sealing parts of woodstoves such as the door and what we have here, the stove pipe. Wrap the length of rope you need with some aluminum foil and then press it into place going from the outside in. That will solve any potential issues. Also, I would run some bare wire to wrap around the stovepipe and attach the ends to the eves so the wind does not blow the pipe away.
We used to have a 55 gallon drum converted to a wood stove & that thing saved us every winter when the power enevitabily went out due to ice taking out power lines. Cant beat wood heat either 🥰
Set the stove on fireproof material such as patio blocks. Put a vertical section of stove pipe before the spark arrestor (even better, use a chimney cap). install multiple CO alarms. Keep someone awake and alert while using the stove like this. Someone on "Firewatch"
We live with a homemade woodstove and been using it for 10yrs. Yes, set it up on blocks, but also use some sheet metal on the blocks that the stove sits on and also some mounted two inches away from the wall behind the stove to protect the wall. And if the pipe is clear, co will not come into the house. That most alawys happens due to clogged stovepipe. And firewatch? Not needed. But on really cold nights one does need to get up to feed the stove.
@@dan0711123: Only problem with the barrelstove kits is that it has the barrel on its side and you can not cook on it. BUT, I took a 25 gal steel oil drum and turned it into an upright barrel stove so we can cook on top and it works great. Been using it for 10yrs now. And folks ask how it is that the fire has not eaten through and here is the trick, do not clean the soot out of teh top half of the stove. It acts as a barrier against the fire eating through the top.
@@xtreker15 I originally set my stove up using the large steel oil drip guards (not to be confused with the little round oil pans). These drip guards are about 3' X 4' in size. They worked great but I ended up replacing them with some cement board because they tended to get a little hot. I also ended up getting a fire blanket for the floor and it works well too.
While I like the idea of an emergency heat source, this set up is dangerous as it is shown for a few reasons! The Flake Board is one problem here! Please consider Cement Board instead on the floor. It is used in showers and bath surrounds so should be readily available. With a non flammable floor area no spark falling on the floor is a problem! This would make this safer assuming a carbon dioxide and smoke detector are also part of the package! Also keep in mind that a makeshift chimney could easily back draw and smoke inside your home with just the opening of a door or window causing a negative draft! If doing this for an emergency situation, I personally would either not burn when sleeping or if too cold at night, suffer and babysit the stove, while the children sleep then shift off when your partner can takes over! And did I say the obvious, a fire extinguisher! I have lots of experience with small stoves. Beats freezing for sure but just be aware of the dangers! All the bestRoy
The next piece of pipe must go over the previous one (or the previous one must go inside the next one) starting with fireplace connection, here all next pieces going inside the previous ones what is potential carbon monoxide hazard. Those perforated ends of the pipe give you ideal channels to leak carbon monoxide into the house. It is an easy fix, unclear why it is done this way.
this is a commonly misunderstood topic. Within a minute or two of hot exhaust going up the chimney the entire vent will suck air into any cracks in the vent (opposite of pushing smokes exhaust out). This is called "drafting".
You do realize that the OSB plywood is mainly GLUE AND WOOD CHIPS Which BURNS/IGNITES REAL EASY 🔥🔥🔥 Do yourself huge favor and use DURA ROCK CEMENT BOARDS used for a underlayment for ceramic tile floors /walls 👍
This is absolutely unsafe. Please get a better wood stove, proper stovepipe, and a safe installation; your life depends on it. Keeping this video up on RU-vid is irresponsible.
This is far out of code. If you want a wood stove, ask the fire dept and town how to meet fire safety codes. Learn to dispose of ashes safely. Get the chimney swept annually. etc.
All proper and timely advice, but this is an emergency stove for emergency use. I once stacked bricks in my living room and put a propane cylinder stove on them during a week-and-a-half power outage in bitterly cold weather, but I used my brain while using it. It was a necessary stop gap measure. Sometimes it seems like we're much too cringey for our own good.
My question is, if you have the end of the chimney pointing upwards...won’t it get full of rain or snow? Also if it’s not fixed to the wall it could just break off in the wind?.....anyway thanks for the video....interesting stove and idea...
The snow & rain will melt & evaporate as it gets closer to the heat. But it would be a good idea to replace it with a covered vent for the time its not in use.
We heat with wood all winter, my husband was a fire fighter always states how dangerous this type of stovepipe can be causing house fires, even if you use double wall stove pipe. If you ever have a fire in the pipes you need to completely replace the pipes because more houses burn down if not replaced. You need to know what your doing to stay safe.
The huge problem is they don’t know or realize what needs to be done to maintain their chimney system, especially if they use green or wet wood which builds creosote in their pipes or chimney. In other words it’s a disaster waiting to happen.
Everyone I have seen putting wood stoves in their homes do not use a block chimney instead used insulated pipe, this what I was explaining. The temporary stove can also be dangerous if you don’t know what your doing, you can still get too hot a fire and have problems.
Good idea, in Germany the most people on the country side have wood stoves generally, additionally I have a diesel generator as well, a fresh water well is already in my garden, means well prepared.
The only problem I see with this is that there needs to be a rain cap on top of that chimney pipe with a spark arrestor built into it. It' suck to get a stove full of rain water
Can't you just turn the elbow joint sideways so that it's not facing directly up? Old-style British chimneys had a t-joint on top of the flue so the smoke went out the sides and rain didn't come in the top, so I don't see why smoke wouldn't come out of this if the joint was turned to the side.
@@kerim.peardon5551 ...and everyone should move to the country..buy Turbines GREENERGYSTAR.COM and farmland etc .. ICEAGEFARMER.COM food shortage coming etc
It's a camping stove. Of course you're not going to have it installed all the time (seemed clear to me anyway). Keep it with your camping gear. Have it in an emergency. Don't know why anyone would need to hide it from one's "insurance guy"? The vast majority of insurance claims are for "flood damage", y' know, like when pipes burst? Staying in one's home and protecting one's property during an emergency is the best insurance.
@@UguysRnuts wood stoves are slowly going extinct due to insurance companies dropping customers that have them. I don’t agree with it, but it’s happening.
It's a great product for any time... Grace and peace. Believe Jesus Christ is your savior and you are sealed with the Holy spirit according to the scriptures Romans through Philemon.
This is the worlds best stove. I have had one that was built in 1990. I am an outfitter and hunter for over 55 years and this stove is my favorite camping stove. Thanks Cylinder Stove of Utah.
A cold air intake is a good idea to, just have another tube going to the bottom of the plywood to the stoves damper,it stops the stove from drawing air from the home, making it safer for co2 and stopping cold spots.
@CJ Wilemon Yea but you missed what he said about the cold spots, the drafts the fire causes by consuming o2. If you don't hook the combustion air intake to a pipe leading outside, then your stove will cause a vacuum in the living space and now those little cracks anywhere and everywhere in the house will be blowing because of the negative pressure your stove fire created in the living space. If you bought a new wood stove, a real one, it will have like a 6" input combustion air intake connector for 6" pipe, and it is for what he is talking about, to run outside. But in this case not thru a window either. But you get the point, it stops the vacuum in the living areas and now instead of having negative pressure allowing all the doors and windows blow cold air right at you, you will now be building a positive air pressure in the living area because your are heating it, and this is the point, now the drafts stop/slow down. You have positive pressure now and any crack the air flows out not in, and the windows won't act like they are open blowing a draft across the room to your fire. Depends on your windows, and your house but you might always feel a draft no matter what, but it helps to not suck o2 out of your living areas with fired appliances, so much safer anyway. Note: all your fired appliances should be hooked up like that nowadays. Your water heater, furnace, wood stove, etc... high efficiency furnaces and water heaters will have combustion inputs hooked outside. Modern wood stoves have them too, real ones.
everyone in Texas should be researching these stoves no one would be cold.... great idea we have pellet stove but with no electricity doesn't work this would be awesome!
Make sure you have a large supply of seasoned hardwood cut and split to fit in the stove as well. There should also be a damper in the pipe above the oven. Also don't forget kindling and newspaper.
I gather sticks for kindling, never burning brush outside. I bet you could cook/heat w/ just sticks in an emergency (if no firewood) since it's so small.
Exactly. Without fuel, this stove is a giant paperweight. The fuel is more important than the stove, IMO. You could always improvise some way to burn the fuel, as long as you did it safely. But without a large fuel supply at hand, you're hosed.
My thanks to WWH for taking time to make this video, strictly for the benefit of others. It's an excellent suggestion and one I'd never before considered, even though I've been looking at these stoves for winter camping for quite some time. Kinda justifies buying MORE camping gear. Roy, this is for EMERGENCY USE and will obviously be attended to at all times. A spark is NOT going to ignite a piece of plywood and burn down the house. Some tinfoil around the wood would do the same thing and not require purchasing a sheet of "Cement Board" (which will be a crumbly mess as soon as someone steps on it). For a temporary set-up of a few days or a week or two at most knowing what to use from what we already have readily at hand is useful. There are obviously safety considerations, such as ventilation, chimney support, rain deflection, wall protection etc, but when the SHTF anyone with a modicum of common sense could make this work.
Well, as you show it, with the oven, water heater, etc, looks to be more like $800 or more. Not exactly the cost of 1 month insurance. Also, you need to support that chimney or the first gust of wind will blow it down. And you need a collar to seal around the pipe where it goes outside. And you need a damper to control the draft. And it should be sitting on a fireproof plate, not a hunk of burnable plywood. And of course you need saws and splitting equipment, and a place to dry the wood. And the wood you bring in will also bring in spiders, ticks, etc.
im curious about something, that is a lot of length on the chimney outside the window and i dont see anything there to support it, and i saw nothing about sealing around where the pipe went through the boot you screwed to the board in the window.
This was a guide. Use your own common sense.There is no need to "seal" the pass-through. if you want to, be my guest. There are many ways it could be done. The takeaway from here should be, one of these stoves could be a lifesaver. Some might not make it.
We had a small cast iron stove and made sure to protect the wall. Glad we had it because that's the only way we survived the ice storm. We were without power for a whole month.
I would probably just use cob and maybe some stones, etc...if i had to leave suddenly if things got that bad. You don't have to buy it, stores can't run out of it because they don't even have it to begin with, but it is almost everywhere under your feet. You have to have some tools, that is what i like to carry, not just for cob but as many tools as i can take. I am just saying, things would have to be really bad to have to set that thing up because what is temporary? 1 night, 2 weeks, 3 months, 1 year? If 3 months or more i would call it permanent because that is a whole winter. But to anyone setting that stove up, please at least put 3-4 screws into each and every pipe joint, and use real woodstove pipe, it is black. You can reuse the screws and the holes, just never over tighten them to strip them. I already have wood stove. i already asked myself those questions in the video, i had the wood stove since i moved in and installed it, a real woodstove. And if i had to leave suddenly, then anywhere i would be able to set up that stove, i will just build a cob stove. But that thing could work good for camping, but screw the pipes together, and to the stove, and use black woodstove pipes, especially that very first pipe between the fire box and the oven it gets the hottest.
The stove is amazing absolutely looks great. Absolutely functional in all aspects. However, I must say that if any normal household in the city were to do this they would be fine because of the dangers and their house insurance would be void. Just a caution. The stove is absolutely 😊
In the city, they probably wouldn't have enough fuel to last more than a day or two. Furniture would be all burned up after one or two days. So, in the city, it's not really even a consideration unless you have a whole room filled with seasoned lumber.
So this isn’t an all-in-one kit. it’s two kits combined into one it’s an oven kit and a stove kit purchased separately. Just found out. Maybe it will help someone else.
One more elbow, on the outside of the house, and you will have the pipe vertical but a little away from the house. You can then easily secure it with banding strap to the house.
People have a tendency to do as others do so not as others write here on comments,, many would sit the stove on a cut plywood as here provided which is no different than the flammable flooring seen unless this home florring is ceramic, looks vinyl too me.... as I wrote people do not do as every one writings here discovering the dangerous insufficiency...... one is to survive for a long time in case of collapse and not surviving just for a few hours to suddenly die of fire and or smoke ...... for $800 I think is an expensive dangerous incomplete apparatus that depends much on the intelligence of the user..... in a collapse in crude winter DRY wood may be the biggest asset AND Dangerous as well as any other fuel, let's get PLENTY OF GOOD experience first, and watch lots of BAD EXPERIENCES too
I have a wood stove in my livingroom. Professionally installed. The peace of mind is worth the money ten times over. With the things going on in the world today, it's not out-of-line to think we could lose power for long periods of time this winter. Remember Texas last year? If you lose power in December, the insurance company will be the furthest thing from your mind. Freezing to death will be your main concern. Install it like he says to and you should be fine. Use your head; take anything combustable (easy to ignite and catch fire) and move it away at least 4-5 feet. Don't run the chimney outside too close to the house or deck or trees, etc. Stock up on wood. Cut the plywood for the window and fit it now, before you need it. That way, if you lose power you're not trying to do it in the middle of a storm, and with no power! Then, you can just leave it sit in the garage or basement ready to be installed in a few minutes. Good firewood can be found easily pretty much anywhere right now. I'd get some now. Old pallets make great firewood for a stove like this, and it burns well. Pine will leave too much pitch in the chimney that could cause a chimney-fire fairly soon. Pine is used for framing houses (think construction sites), which is where a lot of people will think to get firewood first. Not a great idea.
For an emergency stove, it's an ok idea. For a main source of heat, a very poor idea. Without internal baffling, the majority of the heat escapes through the stovepipe. The only benefit is that the pipe is single wall. That gives a bit of extra heat. Best thing to do it to get an actual wood burning stove that has a cooking shelf. The new ones are extremely efficient. Efficiency equals saving money because wood will last longer, and you'll need less of it.
The stove pipes were installed incorrectly, the first elbow should have inserted INTO the second pipe and each pipe after that to fit over the pipe it is connecting to, TO PROPERLY VENT THE SMOKE. Nice set up though
Thank you, "WWH Destruction" for this. Like many I'm looking for a solution to power outages in winter. Very likely we will see such this year, & prolly next few years, too. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
You forgot the last step! "Start looking for new homeowner's insurance immediately because the second they hear you ran a woodburner they WILL cancel your policy."
When your home is freezing along with your family, screw it use the policy to start the fire. At least the insurance company didn't have to pay for broken pipes and your not displaced from your home for months while the work is done. It's EMERGENCY heat not a long term solution.
@@markw2266 It's amazing how seldom the insurance companies seem to think of that. The odds of a woodburner going wrong for the couple days it'd be used in an emergency are vastly less than the odds of disaster from a pipe bursting. And water freezes a lot faster than a couple days.
Sadly, this is a statement that has a myriad of application. So much of preparation for the possibility of system failure, does cut against the grain of system allowance. Showing its bondage.

@@vsgfilmgroup If the stove is going to set the house on fire it would be most likely in the first few hours...like flying, the most dangerous time by a factor of several hundred times is take off & landing.
you better rig up a brace leg for the outer end of the chimney pipe or the first high wind or snow load will take it down. and yes, a large fast snow fall will NOT melt on the exhaust end of the pipe unless you have a raging fire going.
As a former stove installer I have to say this setup will likely result in your house burning down. I applaud the DIY attitude. It may serve you well to research proper freestanding stove installation techniques and code in your state.
After watching this dangerous ad, I thought I would see a lot of messages like yours. But not so. Not at all. I have reported the channel, because of this wildly irresponsible ad, passing as some PSA. Those vent pipes will leak and burn. But those pipes are the only type they can cram into a DIY box, and ship to desperate people. You might want to complain as well. It seems most people don't know, or don't want to know simple facts.
how does the stove pipe not catch the wood on fire? WTF? don't show people that! they will burn their houses down. damn. use some concrete board - anything fire resistant or fire proof.
Never ever ever run singlewall pipe for a woodstove inside your home if there was an emergency that you just absolutely had no other choice you would have to use a little screws to actually screw that pipe together you can’t just insert it would have to be screwed together at the very least,,,the wind outside would tear those pipes apart,,,you can’t run that pipe at 45° angles outside or inside everything needs to be straight you use elbows to get it up to the window and up alongside the house not touching the house
Back in 1978 my parents moved into another house on the South Side of Glasgow. There was an AGA jacketed stove in the kitchen. It was plumped into the central heating (CH) system. They shared the water heating for the CH and a hot water holding tank in the attic. Only problem was the CH needed an electric pump to move the hot water around the 3 storey house. There were 7 trees in the garden that my father & I cut down. There was also a full coal shed left by the previous owners. Back them milk came in 2pint cardboard cartons. We kept them and filled them with a mixture of coal n wood n paper. With the way that Gas prices are rising in the UK, I wish I had that in my house.
Really like the stove, but those HVAC elbows leak like a sieve. I know because I install them everyday and we are required to tape them or use sealant because they leak so bad.
I like emergency & preparedness ideas like this. I'm thankful for my fenced in kitchen garden that we started in 2016. My family are making it look like ordinary plants & small trees in a minimal kept yard. When they are mostly edible. Outside the fence are some thorny Bougainvilleas that don't flower much, but disguises & covers what's inside the fence. I tell my kids not to spend too much time on social media. They understand that there are things they can post & things they shouldn't. That or get compromised in case of mass panic. It's a great help that we don't have to risk often going to the stores, with covid19 going on. That some 60 percent of what we eat these days are from the yard. The territory where we live is tropical (another thing I'm grateful for.) So no need for indoor heating. What we have is our diy outdoor covered barbecue grill. And that we gather & store dried fallen twigs at anytime we can get it. We like to think that we're ready for what's to come, but every little bit goes a long way. :edit: please weld to seal all the joints to this stove/fire place. The base shouldn't be wood but a thick tile or cheap piece of granite. The pipe outside should be screwed tied with metal to the roof or wall. Sorry I don't know a lot but, so it won't fly off?
Ok I'm all for having a legally installed wood burning stove or fireplace and chimney, whatever it should be permanent to your home and not removable garbage that zt the least burns part of your house down cause this crap don't fly. And yes, you should worry about homeowners insurance even if it's an emergency. No insurance is gonna pay out if this is your setup. Fact
My cylinder stove with all the extras I bought cost me less than $400. A fully installed EPA-certified fancy-ass wood-burning stove will cost thousands. Not everyone can afford that and some areas ban wood-burning stoves which means you might not even be able to get someone to install it for you in those areas. This is an EMERGENCY STOVE and they work GREAT. I have used mine twice in very cold situations and my house is still standing. Plus, if I move I can take it with me. It will last a lifetime. Your criticisms are NOT valid.
It is always good to have a backup heat source. Whether it be a wood stove or a small generator to run your furnace and fridge. You can hook up a 110 volt box on the outside of your furnace to plug in a generator. It is better to have a electrician do it to be prepared for long term blackouts . You all have a blessed day.
you dont want to use a generator for heating, let it be your power plant if needed, but have another means to heat an cook. that was what was said on the self defense show "the best defense: survival"
@@feralbigdog I think he meant to run the igniter and blower fan off the generator. It'd be pretty involved as a DIY thing *even if done safely* but you _could_ get a tremendous amount of heat from the exhaust of a generator since likely only 20-25% of the fuels energy makes it into generating electricity. Purpose made devices are called "cogenerators" that use the waste heat for hot water and space heating, meant mostly for off-grid settings but in places with large heating loads the nearly 100% efficiency makes their operation cost competitive with grid powered heaters.
Not if you position it far enough away. My research on wood-burning stoves says they need to be 36" from an unprotected wall, 12" from a shielded one. But this one probably doesn't get as hot as a cast iron stove; it is, after all, meant to be used in a canvas tent.
Interesting. Many years ago, I made a rocket stove ( 2 old propane tanks) heater, water heater ( will actually create steam), cooker and built an oven hooked into the exhaust pipe made out of 2 ammo cans. A lot like your set up.
Everyone should learn about woostoves before messing with them. Galvanized pipe gives off toxic gases when heated. The clearances are inadequate. Woodstoves are great but if improperly installed burn down houses. There are many issues with this installation.
After watching this dangerous ad, I thought I would see a lot of messages like yours. But not so. Not at all. I have reported the channel, because of this wildly irresponsible ad, passing as some PSA. Those vent pipes will leak and burn. But those pipes are the only type they can cram into a DIY box, and ship to desperate people. You might want to complain as well. It seems most people don't know, or don't want to know simple facts.
You really need more insulation in the plywood, that stove pipe can get really hot. Keep checking the plywood often (where it goes thru) to make sure it is not getting too hot.
You're gonna want to burn off that stove and chimney outside. Galvanized pipe will off gas nickel fumes that will make you sicker than you can imagine. Good video!
