You may want to add another length of pipe on your chimney to bring the height of your exterior pipe a bit higher above your roof. This may create a better draft for your stove and move the smoke up and out the pipe and not into your house.

I'm an electrician... We use 5 inch hole saws to install recessed lighting. The trick is to run that thing backwards. Go slow and there will no tendency for that saw to grab.

30 something years ago I lived in an uninsulated house in Northern Scotland over a particularly icey winter. The house was in the middle of nowhere down a very muddy farm track. We had a small pot bellied stove in the main room. It was made of cast iron and was from an old railway workers hut that had burned down and we 'rescued' it from the rubble. We did what you did with the corrugated metal siding to act as a heat reflector around the back. One of the differences with our set up was we hung large woollen blankets (from a charity shop) on the walls to act as insulation. It worked really well and that quite large room was always toasty toasty. Maybe you could try this idea in your shed. Putting the stove on a solid stone slab will also help. Both to protect the floor, but also to act as a heat sink. As you probably know, stone is a great storer of heat. Which is beneficial in a small uninsulated shed. Anyways, I hope this helps.............

I just watched this whole video, enjoyed every minute, learned a bit... then went to see the subscriber count of the channel, expecting to see 500k and I was shocked it was only 13k. You certainly earned a sub from me!

I would build two bathrooms on each side of the walk-in and shelves to hold the women’s winter, clothes and boots and the men’s winter boots then you would walk into the living room. The living room would be very big and in each corner it would have a fireplace.😂, then I would keep on adding, onto it I would build an underground house, a mud stove, and a mud fireplace . Thank you very much for all you do. I hope you enjoy your life.

I love it bro! finally a practical and modest build. There's hundreds of videos on "cheap" container homes that have everything but a Jacuzzi and a helicopter pad.

High heat silicone works well sealing these little stoves. Adding a dampener at the top before the exit helps slow the burn a bit when you want to. I got one in my tiny home and one for my ice tent.

Love burning wood. My stove heats my 1,700 sq ft house. Sure, it might be 80° by the stove, but 60° 50' away in the bedroom. PERFECT. I'm lucky with having many acres of forrest. Only cost is gas for chainsaw and wood splitter and maintenance. Yes, we get snow here. Great exercise, too.

I built a 12x12 cabin in Arkansas, 17*F outside, I built a Rocket Mass Heater, 8 hours after the fire went out, it was still baking hot inside. Best heat you can have.

Great video. I have several years experience heating with wood and installed a few stoves having said that and knowing what I know I always have the stove pipe going straight up through the roof with the top of the pipe higher than the ridge cap. That gives you the best chance you’ll have for adequate draft and A lot less smoke when you open the door.

Great video Steve and I love the cabin! Also love the Matt's Off Road recovery hat! I got two of my favorite channels in one video. Keep the builds coming my friend

I would be adding another joint of stove pipe to the outside to get it up and away from the roof and create a better draft.

I love the tea kettle!!!

That reminds me of a similar story when I was 20 ,21 when I first got out of high school.

Great video man. Loved the narration, the tips, information and the quick wit too. Thanks for this!

I would install an fresh air inlet pipe on the wall bottom and terminate it right below the stove air inlet. It would probably feed the stove with fresh air without drawing cold outside air from the bottom of the door

Friends in England use the stove fan on their Narrowboat. Love it

Insulate the stove pipe that is outside the cabin and extend it by a few sections will improve your draft and prevent the smoke when opening the door

Love it. Keep it coming

Elbows in stove pipes espically external uninsulated ones will creosote up badly. I'd go vertical through the roof whenever possible, it should increase your draft too. JMHO. Good luck!!

Love your cabin and fire

Cute little stove! Should work great for that little cabin. Love your stories Steve👍👍

Cool cabin, I think the size of that stove is actually going to be perfect for that. It gets so damn hot in little cabins and small spaces with wood heat. You definitely need a draft to keep it comfortable when you're trying to sleep. One thing you got going for you, that place is about as insulated as a potato chip, You kind of built it like a fort instead of framing it like a house. That gives you a lot of draft which will very much be safe for you. Just a little trick from an old frame carpenter, next time you have to cut a hole that big just get what's called a rescue blade for your sawzall, put it on the high setting and move slowly with it. It'll cut it really clean. I like the hole saw though, that was pretty cool. I guess that would be manhole size, haha!

Nice little cabin. I like it

I just built one exactly like that with an enclosed cage on the front for my wife's chickens

Great little cabin and the stove looks like just the ticket if you can fix all the smoke coming back inside.

Love the repurposing of the stop sign

Nice video man. Also the music at 0:57 sounds like a Home Depot commercial lol pretty cool

Hello Steve, great story😂 nice little stove🪵🇺🇸

Found your channel. I live up other side of Hazard. Nice looking setups.

I saw somewhere that adding a small fresh air vent below the stove will help with the draft. 3-4" hole, could use a shower drain grate.

loved it

Here in the mountains of Colorado, we locals have been talking to the state Gov't for years about possibly putting in some tiny cabins for the sole purpose of survival for people lost or encountering bad winter weather. There have been a lot of people die over the years from exposure. We have been talking for about three years on the subject and have finally gained some progress and hopefully things will work out, it always comes down to money in the budget.

you had me subscribed at the wood splitter. :)

Great little cabin, Good job nice stove Bud :) Put your pipe up two feet higher it will draw better & the stove shouldn't smoke back on you then,

That looked like a cup of mud! I love the walls on that shed.

A metal ash can and a clean out tray would be nice to have with that stove. Looks awesome. Open a hunt club if you have the acreage and you would definitely have something

I was checking out the cabin at Sunset Ridge. While you made it accessible with the ramp, the fire pit area does not look like a wheelchair or a mobility chair could get to that space well.

You should mount a small- medium galvanized bucket on a shelf under the kindling maker to catch the kindling and it could double as an ash bucket for the stove, nice setup though.

GOOD SHOW , new subscriber here , i like to support all CANADIAN CONTENT that i enjoy... thanks

My wood stove is 22 \38 wide bi 25/78 long in a 14x14cabin and its a beast 1/2 inch steel

WOW NICE MUG! LOVE IT! Ahh those are so cool! Where did ya get it? :) Cast iron stoves are BS to move lol that little thing will be handy for sure! Im not the wood stove police but when I did my galvanized sheet metal behind the stove I used 1 inch collars to keep it 1 inch off the wall which will allow it perform as its designed (air flow behind it). When you stich it right to the wall it wont do what its suppose to do as you need air to flow behind it like a heat shield on a exhaust.

I Like it!

I love the tea kettle. I was wondering if you could put a small camp stove like that inside a cabin. My cabin is 800 square feet but I would like to have a small stove just in one room of it, for convenience, cost-saving and just for emergency purposes. You have beautiful eyes by the way. Awesome ending on this video. 🎉😂

Dude where I come from we call that a shed! Nice build.

I'd give one of those little steel tent stoves from guide gear they look like they mite fit the bill for your project

So I have a small stainless steel boat stove (Newport solid fuel) installed in my van. The firebox is the size of an ammo box, probably was an ammo box in another life. It was just beautiful when first installed but it was my only heat source at the time and I was inexperienced with small wood stoves, so I put too much fuel in it, fired it up and saw the pipes glo cherry-red. Kinda scary but nothing bad ever happened, unless you count a bit of warped steel. I still use it reuglarly and under the right conditions it will even sing. It's a nice little stove, go easy on 'er 🤠

Safety glasses are a must when drilling. One tiny splinter from that hole saw spinning through lumber can cost you an eye.

I have spent a lot of time in cabins. While I love the nostalgia of a wood stove I would not recommend it. You go to bed burning up and then you wake up in the middle of the night freezing. It takes up a lot of space when space is limited. I recommend the Mr Buddy propane heaters with 20 pound tank. Keep the cabin evenly warm and a lot less work. Very high quality cabin and good workmanship. I live in Kentucky so I will check out renting one.

Always a critic. You did the stove pipe correctly.

I hope there isn’t a blind intersection that’s missing a STOP sign. That one looks like it has been used for a couple of years.

My best friend from my time in the Army just bought a 700 sq. foot "retired" look-out tower in Wyoming and he bought one of these Tent Stoves to keep it warm during the 11 and half months of winter they have up there, that's an inside joke between the 2 of us, he and his son stayed in it over a weekend in January and said that little stove kept it plenty warm even in Wyoming in the middle of January 25 feet in the air.

There are minimum height requirements for vent pipes to get proper drafting there should be very minimal horizontal runs or none . Raise the pipe and always if possible go straight up. You also need a fresh air source to create the draft so you definitely do not want an air tight building or an outside fresh air vent adjacent to the stove.

LOVE, the Sasquatch! I've had several sightings and encounters, lots of them, and I'm a friend and a buddy of Scott Carpenter who's in Heaven now with Jesus.

To attain proper draft a chimney should be 2' above the highest peak. In reality mainly you'll only see it on homes due to building inspectors. An expert can regulate the burn rate by adjusting air intake and draft in smoke pipe.

I'm wondering about an insulated pipe to bring in outside air to feed the fire. Maybe that would keep the fire from using indoor air and drawing more through cracks.

i started using a new small diesel heater they are amazing i bought a lab power supply to run it, i can heat the portions of the house i don't use from freezing while actually heating the rooms i use... it cost as little as 60- to 100 bucks

close the damper in the door down 90%, rt before you open it, it will create a draw in the fire place and extend your chimney about 3 feet

I have what I assume will be a silly question. Could you run the chimney pipe all around the inside of the cabin before it exits to radiate more of the heat inside? Or would the extra distance add too much back pressure and the smoke/fumes would travel back and extinguish the fire/occupants.

"...no one ever complained it was too big". Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

QUESTION-I'm in about 14x20 cabin and I was wondering if I could just take the pipe out the window? Of course use the same preventive measures but instead of a hole just attach to a piece of wood cut to fit the window(standard shed window)? I am in east tn..

Watching from Kentucky! Just checked out your cabin….hmmmmm!

We had a versionn of that stove in the old US Army. It’s a Yukon stove and we used Diesel fuel.

When can I move in?! Love it🥰🥰🥰

I have a stove similar to that one I use in my white duck Bell tent you're always putting wood in it constantly and the wood has to be cut to a certain length what has to be cut and split certain way

Well, when that lil stove doesn't warm you up, just walk to house. lolol. Thought cabin was out in the middle of woods.

Great set up love it... Great idea putting a fireproof mat are they expensive?

Darn we were ready to come stay at your cabins but dont go anywhere without our babies 🐾 they look beautiful though.

Your method of coffee making I wouldn't be able to afford today ;0) I have a little plastic one scoop coffee scooper and it saves me a fortune. You might consider finding a little truck camper that is no longer used and it might have a nice little propane furnace. They aren't very big but work nice in close space and they are clean burning. If you can snag a camper ice box you can have an ice box that uses propane, or electricity. The ammonia type refrigerators have a little bi-metalic piece of metal with a pilot light under it and it heats that metal which in turn heats the ammonia tubing and starts the circulation process. When you have electricity it uses a resistor that heats the ammonia tube and works just like the gas pilot would. Just think how long you could run an icebox with a freezer compartment by using a tiny pilot light. Several European countries use that style icebox, they are always smaller than US refrigerators but plenty big if it cost nothing to run it.

Very cute tea kettle! Where did you get it?

If you made a water filled bench that had a copper thermo-siphoning loop under the bottom of the stove... while your having a fire, the water gets hoter in the bench and than slowly emirates heat through out the night and morning long after the fire has gone out.

I would love to rent one of your cabins. Unfortunately I don’t have the time in the immediate future. I have ancestry research to do and I need to go to North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Texas.

Yeah like the other person said😅,your outside pipe should extend 3feet beyond roof line for draft

Try Puting a Pice of metal 2 inche Down infront of the Door, On Inside Opening is to short near Top door edge

The reason the pass through is a different diameter than the inside pipe is so you can use insulated pipe which is supposed to be used for wall pass-throughs.

1:06 bite a hole LMAO

My ex heated her house with just a cast iron wood stove. I built a fire in it one day and put some pine wood in it, I thought the wood was seasoned and dry but it still had pine resin in it. That stove got so hot that when it cooled down there was a white discoloration ring around it. Lesson learned.. always make sure pine is completely seasoned and only use one or two pieces per day.

Use as much pipe as you can that's where all the heat comes from. In old west stove pipe ran all way cross room

Crushed beer cans between the wall and tin and small gap off floor will offer more protection and better circulation probably not much but all helps- Northern Minnesota

This year i could not find stive pipe for along time

back when I was 25 I rented a 2 room cabin it had a propane heater but I had a wood burner made out of quarter tread plate six inch stove pipe my brother had a big pile of pallets oak mind you so I thought yippi free wood so I loaded it up got going good next thing I know it's fire engine red and breathing in and out got so hot 🔥 🥵 in the house 🏠 I had to sit out side in the driveway for around three hours my brother stopped by ask me why I m out side 😅 I said go look at the stove after that no more pallets and no more worrys. that little cabin you built would be great for a hunting blind.

In place of the wood stove I would just insulate the living crap out of it. Years back I worked at a walk-in freezer company and would also install them from time to time. If the freezer was outdoors in the winter we could heat a smaller one with a trouble light. The walls, floor, and top were 3.75" thick pored urethane foam, with a SS, galvanized steel, or an aluminum skin inside and out. A freezer that was 20' X 12' would get so hot inside from the body heat from four men working, you had to work in a T-shirt. Nice video, but you don't need all that heat.

Add a couple more lengths of stove pipe to the end of your pipe it will draw better

I used to rent a yurt wtih a small cast iron stove. I found plenty of evidence that renters do NOT know how to use stoves and that the stove had been heated to "glowing" multiple times. I would go with something safer in a tiny home.

If you wiggle that hole saw slightly while using it, it wont bind and break your wrist

these little stoves are cute but not made for constant use per say. now there are these little cast iron stoves you can get... Canadian Tire, Home Depout USA, Lowe, they all carry the same epa 2020 stove. price runs between 549-699. While expensive... ish... for a cabin up to 900 square feet its a good option. humor here is you could run a wood stove, with a small 3kw diesel heater for fast heat/overnight/low maintenance, and a propane buddy heater as emergency backup.

I'm 68 & never "took" a leak in my life.... BUT i hv left lotsa em.

Be careful with that long 90 degree angle with your stove pipe. My bad experience might save you the trouble. I had a gradual build up of soot in the flat spot I had because I had the same type of long horizontal chimney pipes. A piece of kindling kind of popped and flew up there and ignited the whole thing and I had a full blown fire. Lesson learned.

Would you rent the cabin monthly if so how much per month

How long is the burn time?

The metal of the. Stove is titanium/stainless construction. Carter Canada

Your horizontal piece of pipe has to be perfectly level or up on the outside just a little. It is sloped the wrong way. Just a little bit of slope the wrong way will make it smoke when the door is opened.

It’s interesting to read comments when channels are first starting out. For some reason it seams like people are kind of rude and very know it all ish. Diesel creek had some real hecklers for a bit but they eventually seemed to disappear or he just blocked them haha

The hot pipe bolted against your eve seems problematic. Also, has anyone ever hung a reflective survival blanket between the flu pipe and the wall. In theory wouldn't that double the invisible infared light wave heat radiating into the room from the pipe?

Where in Kentucky and how much you charging

I did notice you have a gap on the whole length of the doors right side. That might be something look at.

you should hold up your pinky when pouring that pot of water. Fancy pot there bub

Natural comedian…

Hope you got permits for all that work???

Wanna stop the smoke coming out the front of your stove, then make your exit pipe larger.
