#73 FIRE 🔥 Wood Stove Installation in our Italian Stone House

We bought this stone house in Italy during the pandemic in 2020. The house was a ruin and we saved everything we could, unfortunately that meant only four stone and clay walls! The back wall, against the terrain, was close to collapse; the roof beams were eaten and basically reduced to dust; the inside separation walls were easily taken down and the whole project turned into a heavy renovation/rebuild.
Follow our journey as we turn this old stone house into a beautiful home 😊.

with every video the house is becoming more of a home. The terracotta, when combined with the stove, will bring a rich colour to the room. It's looking great!

Your stove is very elegant! I had two stoves installed by our local specialist. The one in the living room is 10 Kw and has a system of ducts which conduct warm air to the bedrooms above, without fans, electric motors or the need for an external air duct. The other in the kitchen is a modern wood burning cooker, which is fantastic. My house is quite large so we needed 20Kw of heat to kept all warm in the coldest days, though in fact we very rarely need to use both the stoves together. luckily we have a lot of wood and in 10 winters here have only used our own, from storm-felled trees and branches. Free heat!

[@erneststevenson3872]

I love what you are doing with your floors. YOU will love the warmth of the wood stove in the winter, as well as the black Wolfe!

[@cathybrewer8958]

The new stove looks beautiful, really dresses up the space. They did a great job installing the stove too. So happy for you both.

As an American, Your channel is the only one I watch with closed captions as I speak no other language (very American). I have loved construction since I was a child and I am now 80 and find it just as intriguing. I stumbled across your channel and found myself in awe of the thought, work, and effort that goes into the reconstruction of this old Italian structure. What city are you closest to, so you can obtain building materials and have a close home base? Thanks for such detailed and heartfelt videos.

[@ateliermavi]

Thank you so much for your comment! 🤗 The closest town is Imperia, we live there but we often have to go further to find the natural material we are looking for!

Good morning from northern Vermont USA where there is a lot of snow and it is cold. Morning coffee! It was interesting seeing you guys working on the floor wearing tee shirts while it it is all white with snow outside. Watching the wood stove installation and the seeing the warm fire made the episode all come together. Beautiful!

[@ateliermavi]

These images of us in t-shirt were shot about 2 weeks ago, it is now cold here too 😉

[@sydneyevans2637]

@@ateliermavi Then you were right on time getting it installed. You are probably finished with the tiling if my guess is correct. Your place is stunning. I can't wait to see how you will furnish it!

[@sandym198]

We have been following your labor of love with great interest. I was intrigued by the location because it reminded me of the beautiful Ligurian hilltops and towns of my ancestors. My cousin and his family restored an ancient bar run by my great grandparents in the mountains north of Genova. Their wedding gifts were fixtures for their new home and eventual restaurant. Look forward to more episodes.

[@ateliermavi]

This is indeed Liguria, near Imperia 😉

La stufa è la sua posizione in soggiorno e anche la canna fumaria fanno proprio un bell effetto. Pur essendo una stufa moderna non “rovina” il vibe semi rustico del soggiorno. Bravi, buona scelta. E poi vi meritate on bel like grazie al segugio fedele 🐈‍⬛.

Bonjour les archis, c'est Dame Mavi qui nous fait la lecture aujourd'hui et c'est bien plus agréable. Sacré bon boulot les jeunes, votre maison a maintenant un charme fou même s'il reste encore de nombreux travaux à réaliser. Je pense surtout au jardin qui deviendra l'écrin de votre demeure : quelques cyprès et un magnifique murier platane qui vous fournira une ombre bienfaisante et reposante. Si vous le désirez, je peux vous faire quelques plants de ce dernier, et c'est cadeau ! Magnifique votre poêle, très classe. Il ne restera plus qu'à monsieur Mavi de préparer un stock de bois.

[@bencellini4200]

I would like to offer some advice here based on a few decades of working with cementitious products, that is; concrete in all it's different forms formulas and additives; screeds and other mortar fractions. I would not presume to give craft advice but only safety. Avoid all skin and eye contact, even minimal. The injuries I have seen are horribly disfiguring (including limb amputation) and contact dermatitus will haunt you for ever. Wear your PPE.

Below the stove the technician drilled a hole in the bench to correspond with the floor vent. Will a pipe be added to connect the bench hole with the floor vent? The stove and it’s chimney are a striking addition to your living room. Wishing you and your family a blessed holiday season, gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace

No, the stove and the air won't be directly connected, it's an indirect intake! 😉

Hello guys, When I started watching your videos related to the house , I was very impressed by your boldness, I didn't give a euro for the house. In the end, I have fallen in love with your project. I think it's an impressive job that you've done. In the course of watching the videos, I always told myself that there was something missing from the house that would give it its personality. I'm serious, terracotta flooring is always on my mind. It is a dream house, I wish you the most sincere congratulations and happiness in it. Maddi and Vince eternal happiness for both of them.

[@SaintCoemgen]

21:28 I would like to point out, that the vermiculite is not what is really causing the double combustion. This is rather from the tertiary air coming from the back of the stove. Those little holes in the back let in tertiary air (primary air is from the bottom, secondary comes in at the top of the door, and tertiary comes from the back). All modern wood stoves have those little holes in the back to allow for secondary combustion, via tertiary air, regardless of the firebox material. My Italian made wood stove, with a cast iron firebox also has them. And I posted a video at my channel in January 2023 showing the same "fire balls" in my stove, in case you want to verify the results are the same regardless of firebox material. I, however, did give my video a more whimsical title, calling the "fire balls" instead "dragons breath". 🙂 Side note: Interesting that you imported your wood stove from Spain to be used in your Italian stone house, while we imported an Italian made wood stove to be used in our Hungarian stone house (our stove is also rated at over 80%). 🙂
