You are so right.....we actually installed a damper in the pipe in the next video.....or in the video where we did the first fire.....it helps a ton you are right....nothing better than heating with wood....and doing it effiecently 😉

Yes, I, too, grew up with wood heat being used in our home which sat on three acres of land. My mom had a wood stove for cooking-- wood used to cook with has its own unique aspect to food flavor not realized by gas or electric ranges. That's my humble opinion! Then in 1966, a natural gas line was put in through our County Road, and out went the wood heater and stove. After my mom passed away, I became the owner of the family home and immediately put the wood heaters back on both ends of the home. The wood cooking stove, still in storage, is next! I'm glad I did put the heaters back where they were because natural gas has doubled in price in New Mexico, USA, compared to last year's winter months, as it has in the rest of the U.S. where natural gas is used. I have another home in Albuquerque, NM and I have a wood heater , with flue!, in my Office/Workshop. Now, I'm considering, actually going to put a wood heater/stove in a Great Room in the main house, but didn't want to go through the ceiling and roof for several reasons. That's how I found your off- grid videos. I was weighing going through a window or the wall. Your video on putting the chimney pipes through the wall is the way to go. Both gas and electric utility prices are skyrocketing, and a coal burning generating station was closed by the state of New Mexico. Both utilities are hitting the NM-PRC for rate increases at this writing. I've decided to go off -grid to an extent but not entirely but certainly blend in wood heat for cooking and heating to prevent so much dependance on electric and gas usage. For example, people's natural gas bills doubled from last winter. If your monthly gas bill was $70, now it's $140 -- with same amount of gas used! Electric bills -- the same thing. Gas was the cheaper option but not anymore. Wood will save me money, I know it will because it has before. :) I, too, have a lot of projects going! But, an install of a wood heater/stove combo just bumped up to the top of my to-do list, but installing it with safety features I saw on your video. It's chilly outside, now! Thank you for making these videos. They help quite a bit. God bless. /s/ Robt. 🍊 Albuquerque, New Mexico USA

New stoves should have built in dampers and they say don't put one in the pipe

Means so much to us Sue, you're the best.

Awesome, Welcome. Best of luck with your build. we will check you out. Best wishes

You got this.....not that bad..thanks for watching

Absolutely, thank you Grace

Thanks Ginny

Ha, just figuring it out right??? Lol

Thanks M, appreciate you being here. Best wishes

Thanks mike, even better once it has an orange glow glow inside right? Best wishes.

Thank you.....we love ours too. Function and beauty ....awesome

Thanks Sam, they need some protection too ya know, lol. Best wishes

I struggle with how to videos, since I'm kind of learning as I go. I just like to show it being done in real life....as a rookie. Hope it helped some best wishes

Glad you liked it HBSL 😁👍

Lol, it's a flexible term for sure. Happy to have ya here Scott. Best wishes. And big woot to ya in NH

Being in a quiet place, with only the birds and trees to listen to. Once there, when you leave, it seems the world gets noisy and fast. Best wishes CQ

@@OffgridwithJayandJen Thank you, good health everyone

You as well Antu, thanks for being here. Best wishes.

Thanks Sheila, we appreciate that. I'm glad we can share it with you and others.

Ben is thirteen and a half. We have had Timber for.a year now and he is teaching him to love us and trust us, but he is still a bundle of energy. Glad you appreciate our style, I know it works for us and I hope it continues to keep you all interested. Thanks for following along.

@@OffgridwithJayandJen We also have a blood hound named Chester besides our chocolate lab, Winston. I tell you what, I would take the worst chocolate lab over the best blood hound. They are dumber than a box of rocks. Lol Chester is only 1 also.

Lol, that must be why timber is stubborn, his mom was a chocolate lab, but his dad was some kind of hound....maybe beagle, but hound either way. They have a mind of their own sometimes.

Funny thing.....we bought ours for our old motorhome, cuz our furnace didnt work.....kinda like a kilt wearing dude I know. Lol

Dont hesitate with adding a woodstove, you will love it. If you shop around used it doesn't have to cost a lot. We installed one at our home ten years ago, literally paid for itself in the first year. Shop smart and wait for a good deal. Best wishes JC.

@@OffgridwithJayandJen thank you!!

Some things we have to learn the hard way right?? Lol. All our friends have kids who visit and it's a running joke how non kid friendly our house is.....I say, they'll only touch the woodstove once.

Glad to hear that

@@OffgridwithJayandJen Your welcome

That will be nice for sure, hoping for the best. Thanks JB. Best wishes

Thank you Ct Bt....glad you enjoyed it. Best wishes to you.

No ladders required......best thing ever. Thanks for the suggestions Sandra. Best wishes.

@joann Loves CountryLife it's two foot above the highest point within 10 foot radius of the pipe. 😁 but three foot would work too. 😊

1948 8n, she runs and works like a pro. She is in a lot of our videos getting things done if you do back and watch a few of the older ones. I'm happy with the stove, im sure your friend will like it too. Thanks for watching and being here.

Thanks Rich, that's kinda how I have to roll for sure. Best wishes bud

Welcome Scott, we are happy you're here. Dont be shy and thanks for subbing

Thanks so much. I've got a plan...long as I can get the part.....lol. harder than I was hoping. Best wishes

😀

I looked for that fitting for my specific pipe style and couldn't find one to fit, So if you watch the next video or two, you will see I ended up getting a longer section to go through the wall and it made for a nice straight shot. Hope you are enjoying our vids. best wishes

Ya but then I have to put a giant hole in my roof and climb up there to clean it....this way no more roof or ladder. Which makes Jason a happy boy.

It was figured out in the videos following. Hope you can find it.

Lol, I see that now. I.did the math before and was hoping I was wrong....but hoping to extend the section from the inside to the T now and correct the angles. We will see. Best wishes Lora

For sure. best wishes

We have a smaller solar set up. we have a whole slar playlist if you want to check it out

Good work, exciting to get to some new projects.

Very nice.....this is our first soapstone. We have traditional steel stove down state. The stone definitely holds the heat until morning......now weather or not it really helps maintain the room temp I don't think it helps that much, but we do absolutely love the stove. We bought it second hand for a steal I think so it just worked out to have it.

@@OffgridwithJayandJen Thank you for sharing. Wow! Sounds like you got lucky with the stove. Are you in Michigan? I’ll have to look at the map, haha. I’m Canadian living in southern Japan at the moment, but am planning returning to my home country of Canada and building a cabin in northern BC. I’ll be trading subtropical for subarctic! 🥶 I’ll need a warm stove for sure.

It does , that is the whole purpose of the thimble. The clean out T has a short section that goes from the inside wall to the outside T

Keep watching install videos my friend. It is not that hard....but nice to have a lending hand.

the kit came with a 9 inch straight pipe and i ended up buying a 12 inch to push it out a fe w more inches.....it made a huge difference. I show that is how I did it, but it is a few videos later down the road. check out the next few videos and you should find it, appreciate you asking

@stevecipolla

Working on getting an extension, hoping for a better outcome the next go at it. Hope your weather is holding out for your build WW. Best wishes.

Lane, I love my beard. Wish I could keep it all the time, but it doesn't bother me for months......then like the snap of a finger, my face tells me it want to see some sunlight, lol. Best wishes 😁

We have a wood stove Playlist that shows all the stuff I did shortly after this video. Distance is the most important factor to safety, but I ended up using metal with a gap behind and tile underneath. Had to buy a 12 inch pipe rather than the 9 inch that came with the kit to push the whole exterior stuff farther from the cabin. If you go on our channel page you. Can find the wood stove Playlist and see what else I have done with the area I'll try to put a link in the next reply. kzfaq.info/sun/PLKURa6vtPai6LPZuHbcRGHbqsEHgBKUzT

Let me know if you see this. Thanks kzfaq.info/sun/PLKURa6vtPai6LPZuHbcRGHbqsEHgBKUzT

Your stove manual should give you the clearances to combustibles. New stoves have low clearances, mine is 9 inches

Crimped goes down.....otherwise liquid creosote will drip down and end up on the outside of your pipe.

I'm not familiar with the gas pipe to be honest. If I were to guess i would say no because the gas pipes might have a lower temperature rating.

Tractor supply company

I purchased it at tractor supply company.....

The double wall insulated pipe that attaches to the Thimble was included in the Kit. If you find the next woodstove video in the series, You will see I had to actually buy a longer one to help get out past my overhang and keep the stove pipe closer to Plumb. But no single wall through the wall, unless you are doing it OLD school style and not using a real Thimble kit

@OffgridwithJayandJen I have the thimble installed, I just didn't get the full kit (yet) I will check out your next video. I have to clear my eve overhang too, about 2ft, so will probably have to rig up a custom brace under the T since it won't reach.

I think I follow you, I felt the way you did about that connection or union as well. I believe my kit came with this extra coupler pipe, believe it was stainless, and I sort of forced it inside that union. I'm not 100% sure it was meant to be that way, but it created a solid inner liner for that spot. I hope that makes sense. Sorry I didnt get any footage of that step, having no REAL directions that showed that made it a but difficult.

@@OffgridwithJayandJen Funny I just installed that setup today and was wondering the exact same thing.

It worked well, but was not part of the original design I dont think. Hope yours works out

It is held in by the rest of the setup not being able to move, it slides into the stainless steel inner tube that the black stovepipe slides into from the other side. I thought the same thing, but I realized that there isn't a way to get access to it once you slide it together. Make sure you use 3 screws per pipe! Very important! Look up "wood stove back puff"

It is very slightly, but not much.

Hey there, we actually went with 9 foot walls and a 10/ 12 pitch. It was good enough to allow us to stand in the loft rather than just be hunched over. Happy with it. If you went with a wider cabin it would allow even more space.

Also....I put the loft at 8 foot rather than 9 so there is that extra space up there and it still doesn't feel cramped under the loft

@@OffgridwithJayandJen how wide is your cabin 16 feet?

Yes 16x24

@@OffgridwithJayandJen thanks for the quick reply...love your cabin..well done

I show what i ended up using to fix it...but yes I just used a 12 inch straight chunk rather than the 9 inch one they provided in the kit. My over hang is only 6 or 7 inches so if you have a 12 inch over hang I would think you could buy an 18 inch straight pipe and that would work well for you. let me now if you got this reply, thanks

@@OffgridwithJayandJen Yes, I got your reply and thank you so much for your time. I bought some steel pipe at Lowes yesterday. It's the Supervent/kielkirk brand. Turns out no one has the tee pipe that goes on the outside at the hole, all sold out, so I'm trying to figure a different way, maybe a 90 degree elbow and build a stand to hold it and the chimney in place. So you used a 12 inch pipe through the hole, but how did you mount the tee pipe? I'm guessing it had to come out which wouldn't allow you to screw in the support box below it, do I have that right? Btw I'm working on living in an off grid barn on my property where I have a small business that's paying the bills. Your place looks awesome.

@@jackkerouac8439 I didn't have the interior finished yet when I installed this t brace, so I lagged a couple chunks of 4x6 treated beams to the wall outside to full the space between the clean out T support and the outside wall

@@OffgridwithJayandJen Awesome I love it!!!!

Included in the kit was a couple coupler type pieces. They were 6 inches long. It was not clear on the directions exactly how or what to do with with those parts, but the way it seemed to fit best when the stainless coupler was inserted inside the pipe to act as a sleeve between the external pipe and inside pieces. After that just the cosmetic ring was installed to clean it up.

The black single wall pipe gets too hot to attach to the house. I have also heard that when running it a long distance like this it the cool outside temps will cool the smoke and cause excessive build up, NOT sure if that is true or not.

Tractor supply company.

Yes. Single wall inside and triple wall to go through the wall and up outside. 😊

Are you getting sparks and embers flying out the top? By the chimney cap outside?

@OffgridwithJayandJen yes its like a Roman candle . It's not a issue since I have a metal roof . I need to re locate the stove to come out a wall instead of the roof . ( I'm getting to old to climb up a 12/ 12 pitch to clean it ) if I had a 90 degree pipe going the wall and another coming out would that block the embers from coming out ?

It would help, but sounds like you need a chimney cap with a spark screen on it. It is basically a piece of chicken wire, or hardware screen that has half inch square pattern. Only problem with them is they get clogged with creosote and have to be cleaned occasionally. Most people take them off for the winter as the sparks are not such an issue when there is snow on the ground.

@@OffgridwithJayandJen thank you for the suggestion . I'll try it

I'll take a peak and comment there.

@@OffgridwithJayandJen thanks for looking at it it will help i am sure

@@rgarizonahomestead2729 Hey I just watched your latest video. Honestly the best advice I can give you is to go watch Dave's videos of his latest little cabin build. His channel is called Bushradical and he shows perfectly how to cheaply and simply do a through the wall kit for a simple set up. If you watch his cabin build there is a easy set up there where he just uses old metal and cuts a whole in the middle and uses one single piece of triple wall pipe, the rest is all single wall. cheap, safe, and simple.

In the woods....close to the Mackinac bridge. 😊

@@OffgridwithJayandJen we are north and west on UP- outside of Marquette- we are just getting started-

not sure what you mean, I finish it up on another video

I bought all the chimney pipes at the local tractor supply company. TSC

@@OffgridwithJayandJen thank you

@@Birdknowsbest no problem. I think I had to buy a couple support poles at menards to go from roof to pipe to help support higher up. But everything else TSC

This stove has a large door that flips down inside the top of the stove, but in the next video or two I install one in the pipe about two foot above the stove.

Bought it at tractor supply company...dura-Vent

It is shorter than I had hoped but wanted to make sure it was secure on the outside. I'll make sure I add a damper and hope it holds the heat in better. Hoping the small space will heat well regardless. Lol Love Dave's channel and his wife Brook. They have good spirits and have a wonderful way of going about life dont they? Thanks for being here Joanna, glad you are enjoying our journey. Best wishes

@@OffgridwithJayandJen awwww. That's so nice of you to say. I enjoy your channel very much ❤️

Bushradical and his wife's channel are awesome (she's Girl In The Woods).

Jen is out running around at the moment. When she gets home I will have her share the ladies Facebook and webpage. Local small homebase business, love them.

We use have the rain coats for Timber and Ben. They have a nice inner liner and shed water and moisture well if it is raining or snowing outside. Please let me know if you have seen this post and let the owners know off grid with Jay and Jen sent you. Appreciate you supporting their business.

@@OffgridwithJayandJen thank you so much, the coats look so good on your dogs, I have 2 large dobies and cannot find winter coats for them , I’m so glad I stumbled across your video, which I enjoyed a lot , and you do an excellent work. I will be contacting the web site you provided to order some coats for my babies. Once again, thank you for sharing, and keep up the good work.

@@baderhaddad5728 SO glad we could help. The lady that makes the coats only needs a few measurements and she custom makes them upon your order. Always fairly priced and good timeline. Happy you are here enjoying the vids and best wishes to you.

There are two, one in the stove and one in the stove pipe a foot above the stove. Best wishes

I just remembered that I just test fit everything in this video and actually installed then damper in the next video just prior to lighting our first fire. Sorry I forgot it was not included in this video. take care and thanks for being here Richard

Hearthstone.....I have a playlist with a few other videos about its journey here, if you care to see more. THanks

The stove kit through the wall kit was bought at tractor supply company. Think it was all the most popular brand around.....durastove or something like that

There is a large damper plate in the top of the stove, I'm not sure if I need one in the pipe with that one being in the stove. I'll have to see how the stove functions once it is fired up

I will check it out James The clean out T came with the thru the wall kit I purchased at tractor supply, the whole kit was $359.00. Everything came in that kit for supporting the chimney system. the only additional thing to buy was the pipe sections up, and I bought the extra support poles that reach up high closer to the chimney cap, that kit was $45.00 and was purchased at Menards. Hope this helps buddy.

Well everyone's situation will be different. Typical install mounts right to the cabin. In my situation I show what I do in future videos. I have a woodstove playlist

@@OffgridwithJayandJen Those eaves get you every time. I found a way to avoid having to angle away from the house to avoid the eave, myself.

@@plumbsquareandlevelish4475 I ended up just pushing the support T out 3 more inches with a longer piece of pipe thru the wall. Then added chunks of wood between the t and cabin

@@OffgridwithJayandJen Thanks for responding - this is the part that everybody runs into, I think. I think I can strap my wood stove chimney to an abandoned chimney if I place the stove correctly.

It will be fine. Thanks

Jill I did notice that at the end once we uploaded it. When I make the videos I'm wearing headphones so it sounds different than when it comes out of a speaker on the tv or phone. I try to spend more time than most editing out the loud audio noises and making audio pleasurable so your not turning the volume up and down so much. Sorry about that. This video did take a long time to make also, so I might have rushed that detail at the end. Thanks for watching still Jill. Best wishes

I don't think you really understand what you are saying or understand the function of the single wall pipe. If you don't have this style pipe indoors.....you lose all the radiant heat that comes from it. The more single wall pipe indoors the better, if it was all double wall or insulated you are losing efficiency. Hope this helps Dave.
