Definition of "Off-Grid": Off-the-grid or off-grid is a characteristic of buildings and a lifestyle designed in an independent manner without reliance on one or more public utilities. The term "off-the-grid" traditionally refers to not being connected to the electrical grid, but can also include other utilities like water, gas, and sewer systems, and can scale from residential homes to small communities.

Try using one of the sun reflectures people put on the dash of their cars , behind the stove to protect the tent and reflect heat back into room .also try using double or triple stove pipe where it goes through tent for extra fire protection . Also at lumber company you can get silicone glue used around chimneys rated to 5000-8000 degree to seal around patch instead of a heat activated glue . Hope this helps . "Deeds not words"

Holy cow, we had those same stoves in the military and used them in smaller tents. They were called Yukon stoves and have been around forever. I remember back in 1988 being in a blizzard with my platoon and these saves our butts. Same stove new name I guess, but I'd love to add this to my equipment. Man, memory lane here. LOL

16:21 can't imagine how many wagons it took to wear that rock down. Awesome!

@mikegurney9278 4 года назад

Amazing wagon wheel tracks, I’m just blown away. The settlers did as required, we lose sight just how tough it was and how tough they were. I’m still trying to picture their efforts and tenacity.

@defend223 5 месяцев назад

Awesome setup! Giving me ideas, but I'll suggest switching that galvanized vent pipe to stainless steel. Keep em coming!

@ritasemones9865 4 года назад

Just thinking about how determined the people were to make that hard journey. Everyone should have to walk a mile of an old wagon trail. It would show how lucky we are today.

I saw a vid on RU-vid where a guy used oil drip pans for under a car as his reflective material. He said they were cheap. Plus they are large and seemed to make good heat reflectors.

@MakinEndsMeet69 4 года назад

You know if you think about it too if you had a sliding window in your camper top on your truck you could even almost run that stove a little at night with your window open heat rises and it would come in your camper top but yeah that's the bomb set up man thanks for bringing me along brother

@josephgrant9137 4 года назад

I love the old wagon trail so cool. Don't forget to get a false bottom for your kni-co or put sand on the bottom. That will keep it from burning out. I have had mine for a long time and its amazing. Did you get a side table or water tank for yours? You might want to stitch your stove jack in place i wouldn't risk it with just glue. Thanks Der Guy.

@drewa3597 4 года назад

cool tent, glad sierra is doing well

@kenmarapese9085 4 года назад

The stove will be a nice addition to the out door room. I would put up a fire break between it an the canvas on the back and left side. A couple of pieces of plywood hinged to the floor piece and latched together when up would do the trick.

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures 4 года назад

Yeah, I agree - I need to figure something out for the back wall. I'm loving this little stove...just had a great nights sleep at camp and now I'm getting ready to warm up some coffee before the sunrise.

@MrSTOUT73 4 года назад

You may have to sew that stove jack on.

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures 4 года назад

Yeah I agree, I'll be doing that over the next day or two. I'm surprised how well the hot glue is holding that stove jack in place. It's on there really good! But I think the sun will degrade the glue over time so it's better to sew the stove jack on and not worry about it.

@davidmesser8619 4 года назад

Nice little stove. It went up snap! That's a great system that they came up with. You could even use it for a table or desk after the weather warms up this summer. Take care. Vaughn

@TravelerBrad 4 года назад

I have that same stove and love it. You need to feed it more often but there are some tweaks you can do to it for better burns and cooking.

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures 4 года назад

Yeah, I think it will take a few evenings to get the hang of the stove but so far I'm really pleased with it. Very lightweight, super easy to set up, and it kicks out plenty of heat. I noticed this morning when I woke up that the ash can build up rather quickly if going through lots of wood so I'll need to be diligent about ashing the stove box.

@johnzellers495 4 года назад

Something to think about. Get your self some stones and cover the bottom of your stove to keep the fire off the metal to help save your bottom.

Cool wood stove. Love the mini stoves that are coming out now, basically i think because of you tubers. Hope you find a good place for the snow that is coming today and for the next few days. Course here in the upper 50s mid 60s Grand Valley we are getting rain while the Grand Mesa is getting snow :) Have a great week and here's hoping for a snowed in video :) Peace.

@thathikingguy 4 года назад

LOL not gonna lie the thought of putting a hole in my awning room gives me anxiety. LOL you are a brave man. I totally think it turned out awesome. Good planning for sure

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures 4 года назад

You gotta do it, this is such a game changer! Just had my first full nights sleep in here and it was awesome. Temps outside are roughly 25F but it's toasty here in the topper. These DIY stove jacks are awesome and really easy to install. I love this little stove, it only weighs 10lbs and is a cinch to work with. Thinking I'll seek out some colder, snowier weather over the next week or two and put this baby to the test!

@Amy_McFarland 4 года назад

I'd like to see a grate in the firebox. I'm surprised it didn't come with one.

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures 4 года назад

It's actually recommended from the manufacturer to use about 1 inch of soil or sand in the bottom of the stove during regular use to protect the stove bottom. They sell optional grates but sand/dirt works about as well.

@Amy_McFarland 4 года назад

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures I was thinking more in the way of airflow below the wood.

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures 4 года назад

@@Amy_McFarland Oh I see, I thought you were inquiring about protection for the stove bottom. I've actually never used a grate in any of my fireboxes and haven't experienced any issues with airflow.

@Amy_McFarland 4 года назад

@@OffGridBackcountryAdventures try it you'll like it. Better control over the burn rate with the front vent in combination with the damper. I'm not saying buy one, make one from scrap to try it out, then decide whether or not you get a more efficient burn rate.

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures 4 года назад

@@Amy_McFarland sounds great, I'm always up for more control over the burn rate! I'll give this a go, thanks for the recommendation.

@kitemanks 4 года назад

Nice!!! I was a bit worried about the height and mount....lol I didn't realize how maneuverable the stove pipe joint was. Nice to see the trails, and the wagon tracks. Glad Sierra is getting around alright and seems better. I've been thinking about a wood stove in my Van, is the new stove single burn?? and hot enough to run the Eco Fan?? I'm also curious about the heat plume around the stove. Keep the info and the videos coming bra.

@simonsharp9162 4 года назад

Hate to say so, but i just got off the phone with WinnerWell stoves and they refused to sell me stove for use in a polycotton structure. Now the ARB is polyester (i think) so is even more dangerous according to WinnerWell stoves' advice.

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures 4 года назад

WinnerWell is required by law to say that since it's not a flame resistant material. If you know what you are doing with a stove then you'll be just fine, that disclaimer WinnerWell uses is for those who have no idea how to work a wood stove. Order from Luxe-Hiking-Gear.com, that's who I got my awning stove and DIY stove jack from to make this ARB hot tent awning room. They are solid and have good prices.

@DavidWalker-wz9rl 4 года назад

Hey there, enjoying the videos, for setting up the DIY Stove Jack, will it work with the "New" 2500 Room you think? Not seeing any side panel on them to attach anywhere (as the doors seem to be full width) - maybe go for the older model for winter camping? (or go through the roof of course)

@TravelerBrad 4 года назад

I’m looking at those wagon tracks and thinking their not as bad as our roads hear in Michigan. I wonder who the contractor was. Have you ever found anything out there from the wagon trains? Many of the people walked along side the wagons to decrease weight or threw out stuff along the way for the same reason.

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures 4 года назад

Hey Brad, I've not looked into much of the wagon train history in these parts but I used to research that topic quite a bit when I was living in Kansas. The wagon trails on the Santa Fe Trail left tracks in the earth which can still be seen today in certain parts of KS. I think that era of history is fascinating.

@hugoi4604 4 года назад

Could you please link to the exact awning room you are using, I can't find it -_- lol Thank you.

@wyattsdad8561 4 года назад

That’s so cool man. What type of tent material is it? Is it just regular tent fabric, like non canvas? I want to do something like this in my Coleman tent.

@McCoymiked 4 года назад

Hey what’s the overhang of the awning off the cab rack? I’m being told I can only get a 1.4 meter awning on my 45” long rack. But it’s not really worth it to me to have less than a 2 meter awning. Thanks!

@andywales666 3 года назад

roughly how long must the stove be left to cool/fire die out before you can dismantle it? ps great vid :)

@OffGridBackcountryAdventures 3 года назад

Hi Andrew, this stove cools off pretty quick so I've found after about 15-20 minutes it's cool to the touch.

@gregyohngy 4 года назад

I would not trust myself placing the stove jack from the outside. I would have wanted to make sure my chimney was at the correct location and then make my hole.

First of all, love the videos. Quick question, is the ARB awning made of polyester or canvas. If it's polyester ,I've been told it's too much of a fire hazard.
