Moving Into Our Off Grid Homestead
Рет қаралды 15,140
Жыл бұрынWhat a great week!
We're moving in! Watch this week as we cross the State of Alaska to pick up some much needed items. We finally have a comfy place to sit and lay our heads as we move into our Off Grid Homestead. Life just keeps getting better and better as we smile and laugh our way to living a more independent lifestyle. It's never to late to make a change.
We'd love to have you follow along on the adventure!

Once you tighten the house you may notice the wood stove will pull allot of air. If you provide the air supply via exterior vent to the back of the wood stove it will neutralize the air pressure in the house. If you don’t feed it air you may notice a whooshing sound when you open the door. That’s negative air pressure. They make shrouds for wood stoves with a vent to the outside. When I did that I found a burned less wood and the house got even warmer. Since it does not burn that air directly it replaces the oxygen in the home and preheats it in the process. Just a thought.😊
@wildwoodoffgridalaska Жыл бұрын
I’ve thought about get the direct air kit but I think there will be enough leakage around the house that we won’t need it. If we find a problem that’s the direction we’ll go.

I have blaze king around delta and there’s enough leakage you don’t need the air kit. Even my folks place in Fairbanks that’s built very efficient it’s fine

@@wildwoodoffgridalaska like you said in the video. It’s the result of your own work. That’s the best part and very rewarding. Glad things are warmer inside with the stove. There is nothing better than wood heat. We put a wood stove in our basement last year just to take the chill off and love it. We have a stove insert in out fireplace too and the outdoor wood boiler but the wood stove heat is the best. 😄 I grew up with wood heat at cooking on the stove. I believe it is good for my soul. Lol. One thing I did when we built out house was put some 2x6’s sideways in the wall in areas I planned to put deer heads and mounts. I’m glad I did. Might be something to consider as you progress. It’s easier than trying to find a stud and lot more robust. Keep up the good work!!

Maine Life, you are spot on about providing an outside source for combustion air! There is no reason to let the air one works so hard to heat just disappear up the flue pipe. A simple 4-6" round pipe run through the crawl space from outside to an elbow under the stove with a closeable vent grill is all you need. Be sure to add an 1/8" or less screen over the outside open end of the pipe to keep vermin out!

It’s a vapor barrier sealing the warm air in and the cold air out. If you do this you need a certain amount of air transfer to let the house breath. This is calculated by how much air is moved out of the living space via range vents and bathroom vents. Sometimes whole house vent systems are installed. It all in the name of energy efficiency.
