It’s so great meeting people who appreciate these sort of things and thank you very much for checking out my silly videos

Wow. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. Made my day.

Hi Sylvia 😀

Hi! 😊

Nice! I’ve been eyeing this new stove. Hope it works out well for you.

Sorry man. Really forget that detail. We used all the factory lines for the 4 banger i remember for sure. And i remember right we just went with some rubber hose with good tight clamps. Been driving it for years now. Never a problem.

Only using a small amount of wood like 4 small pieces and a fire starting log

I miss my quad sometimes. The open free air. Maybe ill get another one.

Im sure your way is the only way. Been heating my house for years this way. Works great. Its my only heat source. My house is always warm and i dont use much wood. So it must be just fine.

@@AlfonsLC No not the only way. You have another heating source ?

@annaaron3510 no other heat source. Just firewood from one stove.

While heat sink is real. My house is ok a hill one side is rock. The other side is insulated wall. You can also insulate over the foundation to dramatically counter a heat sink. So still convection is working just fine for years for me

The ash pan door seal needs to be changed. It’s regular maintenance only cost about five bucks. The ash pan is one of the best parts of the stove. In my opinion. I know some people do this and I’ve heard they even make a version without the ash pan now. It is not something that makes any difference to me in Burn times because I change the seal

Its on there.

@@AlfonsLC nice looked like you went into the cab from the back in the one shot

@SJ_999 i did. I dont always leave it in. Took it out for filming some things. And when its real hot. Thanks for

I have a video up with my mirrors. Mine are fine. Its always the same mission. Beware cheap chinese crap and youll be fine.

Drys and burns better as winter goes by. The temps for it to burst into flame are much higher than it could ever get that far from it. The floor above would burn first.

@@AlfonsLC Don't play smart. A spark set fire to my friend's barn. You can't imagine how FAST it was.

Are you sure i cant imagine ? A spark can come from anything and set fire to any home at any moment. On the rare occasion this stove throws sparks. You keep the door cracked until finished. Even when thats not being done. Those sparks dont travel more than 15 inches from the open door. The wood is 7 or 8 feet from the door. Either way. Caution isnt a bad thing. You do what you feel comfortable and i will do the same.

Yes. Right in front of my house

The only model now available is the cat oslo. I cant imagine the burn times being that long. I suspect whoever told you that is exaggerating. But again. It depends on what you cann burn time. My holds hot could to start another fire after 25 hours or more. But the stove is cold to the touch

@@AlfonsLC Thanks! Been doing a lot of research. I was looking at some soapstone stoves, they claim 30 hrs but I think that is more heat retention via thermal mass. However it seems as though some of the Blaze King stoves can do a very slow and low controlled burn for 20+ hrs as this one review claims. Seems similar to your Oslo. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJq4p3mVo55jn5I

@hapaboy0808 ill check it out. I dont consider a bed of coals. Burn time. But. It maybe fair to say so. It produced some heat that way

I have no experience with that machine so I cannot say

Does it hold up under high heat??

Awesome comment to read. Thank you so much for taking the time.

I've had the F500 v3 since Aug 2020, what I've found to work well is after the overnight burn, I use a flat shovel to move the ash/embers around so whatever falls through the grate goes into the ash pan. There has always been big enough embers that stay up in the stove to do a restart without "relighting." I usually crack open a window to allow a better draft until the flue heats up. I then empty the pan every morning prior to reloading with wood. I dump it outside in a metal pail so the turn around time is pretty quick, than empty the pail when that gets full. If I'm primarily burning Ash wood everyday is almost necessary, other well seasoned hardwoods you can go two days, "usually" between pan dumps. Just for the few moments that I have the pan out, not enough falls below to prevent the pan from going all the way in so the door can close. Doing this, I hardly ever have to clean under where the ash pan goes.

The stove is a bit picky and when the coals get too high. You have to open all the air up and they pile up. Also. Its a good idea to clean out the air inlet holes and passage a few times a year. Or the stove is so air tight it may put the coals out and you will have a stove full. Keeping those holes open and clean is important for function. Also. You need to empty the ask pan more is all it means. And only after you raked the coals to let all the ash drop. I empty mine every other day during lots of burning. It’s been way too long since I’ve made videos. But I do have the third video in the works likely to be released in the fall. And i will cover these topics

@@kennethconner5260 When reloading always from the side door, shovel the ashes from the rear to the front. Then when reinserting the ash pan there will be no ashes at the back of the ash pan slot. Try a small hand hoe to clean out the ash pan holder before reinserting the ash pan. From over a decade with the Oslo.

Its enough. Burns fine. Chimney is clean. But i still agree. Two years is better.

Amazing. Thank you for letting me know

Thanks for reaching out to tell me

Awesome. Thanks for letting me know it helped

Thank you
