Fireplace hack: Hot tent stove mod to heat the entire house 

Get a heat powered stove fan to circulate the air.

Please make sure you have a CO detector nearby.

Being raised Asian means you don't liking waste anything, and you brother is a shining example of what that frugality means in terms of being a creative thinker!

Spray paint the whole thing with black stove paint. It will radiate a LOT more heat than the shiny metal

One of the hottest fires I've had was after trying to follow one of your battery wiring videos::)) Only kidding, simple ideas are the best. Thanks:)

You put out a lot of great videos. I have to go back and add a like to all the videos I’ve watched!!! LOL

Im sure Mrs Eco loves the new architecture , its sooooo aesthetically pleasing to the eye😂......You mentioned the moisture coming out of the wood, you might find that as the water vapour travels and cools along the exhaust it might condense in the aluminium section, and you get a nasty surprise flood, but hope not👍

nice work!

You need some sort of radiator that you can pipe the exhaust through, then have a fan blowing across the radiator to move the heat into the room. Its a shame that you can't use a car radiator for that, it would be perfect, but since it's soldered, it would fall apart with the high temps from a wood stove. I'm sure someone here knows a better substitute.

Curious on a damp rainy day if you will have problems maintaining chimney draft with that setup.

i was hoping you'd make some sort of condensing heat trap

Is your house leaking in the make up air to replace what goes up the chimney? When I had a woodstove that used inside air for combustion, the air would come in from all over the house. Cracking a window slightly open made an easier path and you could really feel the draft.

It can be dangerous to route your chimney like that. It won't create enough pull so it creates the chance that carbon dioxide will leak in the room. Like mentioned before buy a co detector.

You might think about those oven fans (instead). Forcing cold air over the hot metal might give more benefits than just letting the heat radiate. And they might be more pleasing to the eye of the Mrs.😂

It looks horrible but who cares when the main objective is to be cosy for the least amount of cost.

If the smoke is not hot enough, there will be condensation in the chimney. It leads to alot of problems. I don't remember exactly.

Hiya mate, a heat exchanger, with a fan, was something I skipped in building my DIY wood burner but always wanted, fairly simple to build, I'll try to get the link for you, hope crazy RU-vid won't delete my comment.
