Consider mounting the diesel tank on the adjacent wall instead for safety. I'm not sure how hot the heater body can get but, in case of a stray fuel drip during refilling, it's one less danger to worry about.

@TheOtherBill 10 месяцев назад

I'd also consider moving the controller to the same wall but on the other side of the wall in the heated area. That way it can be set to thermostat mode and save having to monitor the temperature and turning the heater off and then on every day. Also, having it thermostatically controlled will make being away from home for more than a day a lot more convenient.

@JimPeachley 10 месяцев назад

Consider drawing the diesel heater combustion air from outside rather than from the utility room. Drawing it from inside such a well sealed space can actually deplete the oxygen for the chickens. You could also install a 12v computer fan to circulate the inside air, maybe through the wall to expel some of that humidity, or you might find the door frozen completely shut. I'm sure the ladies (and gentlemen) appreciate and are enjoying their new luxury apartment. Good job

As a long time fan of the channel I can say that if you happen watch every episode from over the years and this journey begins! I just don't think that you will be at all disappointed. When I first came across the channel it had been up for a few months so I binge watched so that I could come up to speed and I wanted know how it all began and I soon found myself anxiously waiting for my notifications to show a new a new episode had posted from Simple Living Alaska they're warm adventurers coming across as showing a great deal of love 💕 compassion and understanding for one another. I still share their channel with friends and family and I believe that you may come to care for them as much as the other channel friends and supporters do as well. Enjoy

I’m in eastern Canada and have chickens too. I have scheduled my timer to turn lights on before the sun comes up . . . Not using timer to turn lights on in the evening because they need a natural slow light to dusk to complete darkness in order to find their perches at bedtime. If the light turns off suddenly they can’t find their way to the perches. I’m loving watching your RU-vid channel and admire your versatility!

@gmcbullet77 10 месяцев назад

Add a 12volt photocell after the timer and before the lights. This will turn the lights off during the daylight hours on the days that the sun actually shines. If cloud cover does roll in then the photocell will then allow the power to get to the light fixtures.

If you ever use that exhaust wrap again, if you soak the roll in warm water to get it saturated first, then wrap it tightly, you get a much better result and a much tighter wrap when it dries.

@SimpleLivingAlaska 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 🙂

@ClanXmigo 10 месяцев назад

Good advice, that's worked well on my motorcycle in the past. Also consider direction when using the wrap. If exposed to the elements, begin wrapping on the low side first so rain is more likely to roll off, same as installing shingles (if that makes sense)

@JohnCap523 10 месяцев назад

You should pipe the heater intake (not combustion air intake) to the coop. Right now you’re pulling both combustion and intake (return) air from the closet. It will also help to dehumidify the coop and it will be more efficient. Just have to screen it so it doesn’t suck in feathers…

@JohnCap523 10 месяцев назад

In effect you are heating closet air and blowing it into the coop rather than heating coop air and cycling it back to the coop.

@johnz9623 10 месяцев назад

You could get more air exchange by using outside air for the heater. Might have to bump the heater up because you're no longer reheating inside air. You might be able to leverage the hot exhaust pipe from the heater to preheat the incoming air. Any exchange of air will probably push moist air out into the tunnel and give you a ton of frost. They do make heat exchangers to recoup heat by using stale inside air to preheat fresh outside air but it might just plug up with the dust from the chickens. Might be worth a try if you can get one cheap. I think someone makes one to recoup the heat from a clothes drier.

Love what you have done here. I have learned a lot. You have given me some great ideas for my own place. I do have a tip for you. Have the lights turn on earlier and off before it gets dark out. The chickens naturally head to the roosting bars when light dwindles. Having the light turn off abruptly makes it difficult for them to roost. I have had birds fly into rafters and injure themselves. Keep up the great videos. God bless you and your family.

@hollandduck79 10 месяцев назад

hello from the Netherlands. Nicely done project in the chicken coop. two tips I could think of. Place a "light sensor switch" between the timer and the lights for the lights, then the timer decides the "day hours" that the lights can be ON, but the light sensor switch decides whether it is dark enough to having to have the lights on. The advantage of this is mainly how light it is when changing between the days. on cloudy "darker" days the lights stay on a little longer, the next day it is a crystal clear day so they turn off earlier in the morning. The "day hours" are also fully automatically controlled and monitored by the sensor. 2nd tip : perhaps set a timer on the heating so that it automatically turns off in the morning and on in the evening. I know that there are "diesel heating controllers" that regulate this and still continue to regulate the warm-up and cool-down . thanks for the video. Kind regards, Hollandduck

Hello, two things you might also consider is to lower your carbon monoxide alarm, (Carbon monxide sinks, its heavier than air.) also you might add some combustion air to your room. When you shut the door, it might starve the unit of air and cause it to flame out. Door grates work well for that. Love your videos.

Carbon Monoxide is lighter than air, so a detector should be placed high up in the space, but within reach so it can be regularly tested.

Maybe come up with a thermostat for that little heater so when you’re gone they’ll still be warm. Another idea would be heat lamps with timers when you go on hunting or fishing trips. It’s going to be interesting to see how they do over the winter in their new coop. That trail cam footage was beautiful. I’m looking forward to your next video. It’s looks like your all set for the winter. Sending love and blessings ❤️🙏🏼

Hey Guys to further insulate and fire protect the exhaust from the heater, I suggest a Hilti 4" speed sleeve (it opens and closes on a twist cap system and a Hilti FR sleeve to suit the overall diameter of the exhaust pipe. ( They are mineral woo impregnated with and can cope with thermal movement) graphite) check them out.
