If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. Along with my husband Clay, our dogs, and some poultry, we live in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming and are working on setting into our own new little homestead. I've been living this lifestyle since 2014 and my wonderful partner has joined me more recently. What will you find if you follow the channel and watch the videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. We split wood for heat, fill the water tank from a gravity fed spring, and attempt to grow as much of our own food as possible between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
We live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning scenery and wildlife that we are surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at mewe.com/join/arielcelestepho... or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!

I too run my wood stove from about the third week of October clear through and tapering off in May. I'm pretty sure my neighbors thought I was crazy burning that late in the year, but if its 50 out, my house won't warm up without at least a small morning fire. (I'm a tiny old lady so I'm always cold.)

@damogranheart5521 2 года назад

Most people who don't live in cold climates don't realize that it takes a house sometimes quite a while to heat up! The body of the house absorbs the warmth like a heat sink.

4:50 To avoid waking up at 2am because the stove went out and it is freezing cold you probably need thermal mass, so if you put a big pot with rocks in water on top, sometimes that will help radiate heat through the night. There are many other ways too.

Every gallon of propane burned in a fire with no external flue creates a gallon of water vapor which condenses out on every cold surface in the house. LP is a lousy space heating fuel for it's cost or efficiency...but good for cooking. NG is bad for the environment but goes well in furnaces...

This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list ru-vid.comUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.

Subscribed. Because of your knowledge about how burning pine vs deciduous trees really affects creosote production. Nice. Since my parents burned wood for heat when I was just a pup my body has been heated by wood, and at times overheated by wood, for many many years. Locally, burning pine is considered a no-no (ostensibly because of creosote buildup) and whenever I'd get in a discussion with someone anti-pine burning I'd ask what they thought people burn where there is no hardwood, the discussion would generally come to a stop.

Well, can always check out pellet stoves. Some can look just like wood stoves but easier to refuel as you can do things like have a gravity fed container auto-refilling the stove, and it can even be controlled by a thermostat and timer for leave it and forget it like a modern furnace heater... They also sell versions for outdoor grilling/smoking... While, a larger home, you can opt for an exterior wood furnace that can feed the heat into the home, as well as act as boiler for hot water, and being much larger can run for many hours with just the occasional refueling...

I've had a stainless pipe for 40 years. Unaffected by corrosion. Came in 3ft screw together single wall pieces. I put it up through a lined chimney and poured vermiculite to fill.

I have a big stove, but I have to cut and split small pieces 8-10 inches long because regular size wood would be too much at one time and it's difficult to light and burn a single piece. I usually light two fires per day in colder weather, one in the morning and one in the evening. I usually can't maintain a fire continuously as it's far too much heat. I like single digit temps as I can keep a fire going all day. It's all about insulation.

In addition I have also added a thermometer to the flue to monitor how hot I am burning. Same stove (airtight with brick lining) 1- the double wall pipe retains much more heat, pretty much turning it into a rocket stove. 2- I burn at 400-475°F, at this temperature I have zero smoke out of the chimney. I have zero problems with creosote and after 4yrs of running like this, haven't had to clean the chimney yet. Inspections are regular and the flue is still sparkling clean, only a bit of fine dust in the bottom of the tee.

@08:28 - You could always use the ashes leftover from your fire with newspaper to get that glass on the door to sparkling new! 😉

I have a rather small house of about 1000 sq ft. It's 130 years old but I've insulated it quite well. It had a central fireplace. 40 years ago I put a single wall 6" stainless flue in the chimney and installed a steel wood stove. I poured vermiculite down the chimney all around the pipe. It took a lot of vermiculite to fill up the space around the pipe. This insulated the pipe tremendously. As a result of this I've never had to clean the pipe. I suspect that it has something to do with how well the flue is insulated. The walls of the pipe are kept hot and don't condense any of the flue gases. Who knew this would work? I always burn small hot fires with well cured hardwood. From this experience I always recommend people insulate their flue pipe as much as possible, especially any on the outside of the house. Might I suggest putting an insulated 6" pipe over top of the 4" pipe. It would increase draft and prevent or reduce creosote/carbon build up.

I originally started out with a small Jotul Nordic woodstove and had a real issue with that flaky creosote buildup you mentioned. Once a week I would hammer on the side of the flue to get the crap to fall down into the elbow area going into the back of the stove, pop off the baffle and vacuum out the creosote flakes. Then I switched up to a much larger stove - the next to the largest one made by Jotul. The creosote problem became nonexistent. I suspect the reason was even if I burned a really "hot" fire in the smaller stove, it still was nowhere near as hot as a medium fire in the larger stove I purchased. Hotter fires mean less creosote. So a larger stove results in hotter fires which results in less creosote. That you have to dig out large amounts of creosote produced by that itsy-weenie stove of yours is no surprise.
