So glad to hear! We're getting ready for our 5th winter season using this stove.

It can beat up rotten stumps, but I don't try to use it with fresh stumps. I just use a stump grinder.

Really no smell until you take the lid off and get into the tank. As far as walking around in daily life, we don't smell anything.

@@Green_Heart_Family_Farm Amazing. Thank you so much for getting back to me and for your very informative and helpful video! I’m needing all the help I can get. Subbed.

Thanks, really appreciate you telling us!

Hi, welcome and thank you for saying hello!

Thanks! Yes, ventilation and cooling is on our mind for the summer time. Vents and fans will definitely be used, and potentially misters.

That sounds great to me. Another thing to do would be to have some thermal mass inside to store the heat, such as rain barrels full of water.@@Green_Heart_Family_Farm

@@Jade-d I love the idea of using thermal mass, because that will be helpful in the winter as well.

Thanks! Feeling good about our progress.

Check out the follow-up videos, we go over some troubleshooting about that over the years of operating it. Long story short, we've figured out how to operate it, alternating between two tanks, so we never get full and run out of space.

Thanks! Yeah I was glad the kids were able to come help during this phase.

Yep, these are great ideas, thanks!

Thank you!

We're only 1 early harvest in, so we'll see; I'm hoping these big logs turn out to be more prolific than our smaller logs.

Thanks! Old pink house is acting as a workshop; the miter saw bench and work tables are getting a good amount of work while I prep materials. Haven't got around to some of the other improvements I'd like to do; plumbing, electrical, etc.

30 foot diameter from Pacific Yurts; thank you for the kind words!

@@Green_Heart_Family_Farm thats great! I guess is good enough for a family like yours, enjoy it!!, 🥳🥳🥳🥳 thanks for your answer. 😊

Not that I know of; we followed the instructions that came from our yurt manufacturer, Pacific Yurts.

@@Green_Heart_Family_Farm thank you, looks great

Thank you!

Thanks! Yes, I milled all the lumber for the greenhouse. The kids are definitely eating and growing!

This video & those like it are why I come to youtube 😊

@@jennyjohnson5428 Thank you for the kind comments!

Nothing at all; they came to our farm infected because they were kept in poor conditions. Keeping the pigs out on pasture for years after this video was filmed, including having 20+ piglets, we never saw another case of mange mites.

Glad you like it! I've been perfectly happy with the slate tile, and I don't think I'm missing anything without a layer of pavers. Maybe they just wanted to build up some height for the stove pad? I recall researching recommended clearances for the stove during the planning stages. You've got it, good luck!

Yes, switching tanks more often seems to really help the system!

Thank you! 30ft diameter, so about 10m diameter.

@@Green_Heart_Family_Farm thanks 🙏🏽 it’s lovely space

Thanks for the kind words. We're really busy lately but I could possibly set up time aside time for a consult if you're interested in that.

Thanks! Really excited to get those trusses up there.

We're in Western Oregon, so yep, Pacific Northwest!

I watched lots of rocket mass heater videos in previous years, and find them very interesting, but I find the small, modular footprint of the wood stove much easier to work with in a yurt. The large barrel, all the clay, etc. for a RMH doesn't seem like a good fit on a raised wooden foundation in a yurt.

Hello, welcome! My ancestors are from Denmark! Family name "Jensen"

@@Green_Heart_Family_Farm ja I am a german Livingstone in denmark. And my grandma was from polen. So Kind of multikulti 😄🫣 Your yurt is a model of how to build beautifully. I am trying tp figure out how to sew the Roof

I agree with some of your points and disagree with others. I've filmed two follow-up episodes in the years since that first installation video. If you want to take the time to watch them and then have a discussion, I'd be interested. I'm leery, though, based on your comment that "worms don't eat poo". That's just false, and if you think that's true, there's really nothing else to discuss around this system. I'm happy to engage in constructive criticism and discussion, but I can't tell if you're in that category.

Thank you, let us know about your journey as it develops!

Thank you for such kind words!

Glad it is helpful! We're here sitting in our yurt now, and love it!

<3 thank you for the kind words

Thanks! Yes, we're looking forward to scaling up our gardening.

Thank you! Our entire yurt package was purchased from Pacific Yurts. Good luck!

Thanks! We feel so good about the tree planting; an exciting investment in the future.

Mind sharing the exact name of a diagram you like? I appreciate help, but your comment wasn't really helpful but just discouraging.

You realize the system is over 4 years old now?
