DIY Stone Hearth Pad and Wood Stove Install

We now have the stone hearth pad complete and wood stove installed in our off grid cabin! This stone hearth pad was very cheap since we used natural stones found around the cabin. I love how this DIY stove hearth pad turned out. Having our first fire in the cabin was an exciting achievement and makes the cabin feel so cozy in our Canadian winter forest!

I believe the word “Hearth” actually sounds like “Darth, like Darth Vader”… the ar sound is strong. It’s looks beautiful, l love what you’ve done❤️

[@gravedigger1187]

you need cement sheet first and then mortar and stone. Great cabin, good luck!

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

How exciting to finally have some heat in your gorgeous Cabin. Nothing better than free, so amazing! The idea you had for the hearth came out fantastic. Very nice in your placement of the stones. It is indeed rustic and looks wonderful.

[@backtothelandliving]

Thanks Debbie I appreciate it!

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

@@backtothelandliving You're welcome

[@jasonbroom7147]

Your cabin is so beautiful and you did a great job laying out that hearth and mortaring it all in. It's cool seeing everything come together. When you get a few minutes, look up how to build a "top down" fire. It's so much better than any other method of making a wood fire. Once you have it laid out, you light it and close the door. You don't have to tend it and keep it going, plus you get less smoke in your home. The smell of a wood-burning fire is nice...in small doses, but if you've heated with wood very much, you know it can quickly become a problem. The top down method of starting a fire is very efficient and results in virtually no smoke getting into the house.

I appreciate your enthusiasm. The hearth looks great.

[@backtothelandliving]

Thank you George!

[@lucyscottwalker2203]

[@TriCityConnections]

My gosh we are in exactly the same place - trying to build a cabin in the woods. Our plan design is very similar- wishing you the BEST of luck and many happy memories for years to come.

[@karenriggle1455]

Love your videos and how your hearth turned out...also if you have a cast iron Dutch oven you can put a full meal in it and cooked

[@backtothelandliving]

I am so excited to cook on it someday!

[@jemreandeau3583]

You place looks great, so nice to see you have heat. We also burn wood, and to make life easier my husband uses a fire starter every day to start the fire, with the bellows that fire gets going in know time.

[@maryrunnels6597]

[@karenriggle5435]

Your cabin is really coming along nice...you did a great job on the rock work and the guys did a great job with the chimney in I couldn't do that to far off the ground. A little high temp paint on it and it'll look like new

[@backtothelandliving]

Thanks Karen!

[@rainskitchenandgarden]

Good for you guys...great job. NB Power is SO expensive...I'll be heating with wood next winter when I get my stove/chimney up to code! Good job on the hearth floor!!

[@nixshimlite]

Please make a video tour from the inside

[@Iam_Machines]

Love the cabin, I am working on building my own now. I have a similar stove, wondering how big that paver was that you used to level the stove?

[@backtothelandliving]

Thanks! I think it was 12 by 12 inches. Best of luck with yours, I hope it turns out well!

[@yakhyokr2573]

Amazing

[@pappybigbearUtqiagkia5840]

What you using for back up heat. I live in near nome Alaska. Have 2 story home. Have. Bigger wood stove and 2 pot bellies. I burn coal in pots belly and different wood. Plus. Have gas heater. When needed

[@backtothelandliving]

Our plan is to have a propane heater as our secondary heat source but we have not installed it yet.

[@holymoly8718]

this one time, at band camp..

[@ErikAndAllie]

This is AWESOME! Do you guys sell the plans for this layout?

[@backtothelandliving]

Thanks! We have not sold them at this point, however I have an old video that shows the floor plans if you are interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jamqnnmmpa6VoMk

[@TheJagaa92]

A little hard to put together but got it done. This is my second one.

[@fardastevie2827]

why did you not use the mapie sealer before using the mapie adhesive

[@stevegreene842]

Where did u get ur board and button siding and wat kind of wood is it ty it is a beautiful cabin

[@backtothelandliving]

Thank you! Our siding is hemlock and we got it from my uncles mill, he owns a small lumber mill in New Brunswick.

[@gary24752]

You should have put down 30lb. felt before putting the mortar down.If you ever have to remove the pad it is going to be a bear to remove the cement residue. Have you asked the people you got the stove from if you should have a combustion air intake duct? Is there an air space behind the metal shield? If not there should be.

[@speakbulgariantoday]

A suggestive tone is always friendlier than a directive tone…

[@JessaLori]

What's the entire Square footage of the house 🏠

[@peaceenjoyer]

how much did the whole cabin cost?

[@peaceenjoyer]

i guess not

[@backtothelandliving]

We have not completed the cabin yet, but so far we have put around 40,000$ Canadian into it. Once we have finished I plan to do a video on cost. Thanks for watching!

[@jeanmassey667]

do you have a rough floorplan? t

[@backtothelandliving]

Hi, yes I have a video that shows the floor plan kzbin.info/www/bejne/jamqnnmmpa6VoMk Hope this helps!

You may be interested to know that you pronounce the word "hearth" incorrectly ....

[@debmorton3310]

It’s pronounced “harth” not “herth.”
