Building a masonry cooking stove in our cabin | Story 17

Hi! We are Laura & Jonas, a Belgian couple living on the Estonian island Saaremaa. Here we are in the process of building up a permaculture-inspired farmstead from scratch.
In this story we share the build of our new cookingstove and some other developments on the homestead.
Here are the plans for a masonry cooking stove mentioned in this video:

You are an amazing artist. I am simply blown away by your talent. Your husband is an amazing builder as well. Such a wonderful couple you make.

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Ahw thank you so much!

[@maryhart637]

I am so happy to see your viewership rising! You are so deserving as your videos are not only beautifully filmed but also your narration is so lovely and informative. The stove looks great! hope it dries to your liking. See you next time...

[@hordescoffeecwest6203]

You picked a great area for your homestead. White clay, is great for pottery and for plaster. And your garden, the darker the soil the better. Outstanding. And your drawing and doodling. I like those. Your home is new to me. I guess that means im out of touch with new ideas. Your husband is a great carpenter. Great job

[@GardenForaged]

I love the way you tell a story in your videos! The stove looks great. I hope it dries out well

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Thank you for that compliment! I try my best, I don't find it easy :)

[@alexesdohr6485]

What a stunning video. The soil looks amazing. Can’t wait to see if the stove works as you hope. I am wanting to build one of these also.

[@tomjensen618]

You can sell those beautiful prints. Thanks for the awesome channel. You are about to go viral. Keep up the great work! Love Tommy.

[@lindabrooks8242]

The house is looking awesome, and Jonas has done an amazing job with the brickwork, and stove build! I know I keep saying it, but your artwork is stunning!❤

[@madleech]

Having watched your later videos, I can see that Leopold chose very well! Jonas' has done an amazing job of the stove, it looked very complicated to build but has come out great. Your carvings are amazing, and I enjoyed seeing you joke with Jonas :)

I watched this early this morning, but had to come back and write a little comment. I love your fish with hands and rooms, the mirror in the first room and your brief words about how it has been languishing in your imagination for a while, the unconscious is a place most people are frightened to go anywhere near, I love the way the rooms in the belly of the fish are like steps through the levels, once to go through, it’s another process. Also your woman of the oak in her solitude, and the gifts that can bring. I didn’t realise Fouks was a rescue, what a lovely story, he is a character. You made the stove look easy, I’m sure it wasn’t and from consequent videos I can see how well it works. Thank you for sharing 👌💚

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Thank you for your beautiful comment!

[@LindaBrandtArt]

You are both very talented, thank you for sharing your journey 😊

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

So glad I found your channel while researching thermal mass stoves. Love your art, your way of live and your production. Looking forward to more adventures with you.

I dug a giant hole in my backyard and made a pond. I got liner to put in it. I didn't want to buy or move big stone, so i planned it to be done with rocks that are a size i can move and carry by myself with no equipment. So I left middle with no rocks and easier to clean with a broom. I made shelves along the edges on the pond. I used cinder blocks and put wood beams through them to create a barrier along the shelves to hold back my rocks from falling into the middle of the pond. Behind that each shelf gets tubing and medium size rocks to help with water volume and circulation. Then I got mesh produce bags and filled with gravel and put the bags along the shelves on top of the pipes and medium sized rocks. Then some loose pebbles ontop.. all the shelves are submerged underwater. If I run pumps I have them return the water to the tubing in the shelves so the water gets cleaned by the rocks. Animals love it. My dog and chicken prefer to drink out of it. Bees and dragonflies too. It's helped so much with pollination of my garden, a flower garden and pond have done wonders for keeping butterflies, bees, dragonflies and others around even through a current heatwave. Plus we cool off in it too. And if ever needed we have over 10,000 gallons of water we can filter and boil if needed

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Wow what a great comment; Quite interesting to read this, as I'm just currently working on our pond - digging the giant hole and the plant shelves. Thanks for sharing! Hope to make something similar to what you have going on there. Sounds great.

[@Wanghuiling211]

I love your art!!

[@LindaBrandtArt]

You are very talented

[@WoodRanger138]

Subscribed right away. I have the same stove plans. Collected all the materials but as it's Winter here in Ontario, Canada i will have to wait till Spring for the build. We are kindred Spirits. I live off grid and Loved Every Word You Spoke. Kindred We Are.

[@gardentours]

It was a good sign that Leopold climbed directly on your lap. So he was choosing you 💕 I really wonder how the stove will turn out 🤔 I had something similar in my first flat as a student.

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Yes, Leopold really choose us! He has become such a cuddly cat nowadays. We're curious too!! Thanks for following along :)

[@alessandrac3126]

A lot of work on the stove and it looks very good! Good job, you are both very handy!

[@MahatmaMichael]

Low-temp exhaust gases from the stove - I have installed suction ventilator at the top of chimney with 2 power / speeds - very high for starting the fire for efficient sucking all water vapor which is unbelievably voluminous and moderate speed for normal operation after burning chamber reaches enough high temperature.

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Interesting, I haven't heard of this before!

[@Diego_Leon]

You did an amazing work! Its looks so nice

[@Esther-1914]

Awesome stove! Well done!😃👍

[@elizabethstreeter2145]

Your art work and Jonas carvings are both very beautiful as will be your house.and your garden is stunning. I have heard from a chimney sweep that if you burn dried potato peel it helps clean the chimney

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

That's interesting!

[@luckyhomestead]

Thanks for video :)

[@hosung82]

nice house.

[@ingmarvangaalen8806]

Nice work!! Looking cosy!

[@br00728]

Goed bezig!

[@zalek27]

Super to wszystko wygląda, gratulacje pomysłu i realizacji. Mam pytanie odnośnie szkła, które jest zastosowane w kuchni. Jaka to rodzaj i jeśli to nie problem, to proszę o podanie jego parametrów. Pozdrawiam.

[@ridetofreedomf.e.3039]

👏👏👏

[@reframeyourbody]

Amazing video! Such beautiful scenes! as a woodworker myself your carvings are stunning! Wondering how is your oven working for you guys as wanted to build a similar one…

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Hi there! Thanks for watching! The oven we have below is more like a slow cooker in wintertime or can perhaps serve for smoking meat, there is a possibility to tweak this design a bit and extend the whole right side of the stove, so a hot oven can fit in there. Too little space for that here so I use a dutch oven for doing my baking! There are multiple designs you can find on Walker stoves, where we got it from. Good luck!

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

But in general we're pleased with our cookingstove😊

[@reframeyourbody]

@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living Thanks a lot for your reply! I'll keep that in mind when designing the oven... The ceramic fibre board is holding up ok? You mentioned in the video it was breaking up a bit...

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

@@reframeyourbody We've replaced it actually with firebrick after a month and found it a lot better, much stronger :)

[@buddtwin2]

Your mortar looks pretty wet there.

[@lizzie3991]

Beautiful woodcut! What kind of wood do you use for your carving?

[@fraserstewart7359]

I wondered if you can share where you got the doors from

[@growyourownfreedom2191]

Well done! it ended up looking really nice. Is the surface you used as a cooktop salvaged from a halogen cooker, or a different kind? i have always wondered whether they could withstand the intense heat of a wood stove. I'm really enjoying this whole channel, I love the gardens and the buildings and the cute cat! Thanks for sharing from Birmingham uk

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

The stovetop is actually salvaged from an electric cooking stove, it's like a ceramic surface , we removed the electric stuff :)

[@synnest]

Hi, are you planning to build a sauna? No Estonian farmstead is complete without one..

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Yes, at some point in the future!

[@synnest]

@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living Rahulikku jõuluaega! Hopefully this video about traditional building will give you some ideas, or at the very least some tips and tricks kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3-XaImDo7eWY7c

[@sarahj2743]

savusauna!

[@peterbeyer5755]

See Walker Stoves for a great design.

[@MahatmaMichael]

Hah! --> 'In the mouth of the beast' I like it a lot - it reminds me nicely Esher 'impossible' graphics and scenes from Inception movie Laura, (?) are you familiar with creation of stereograms - 3-dimentional shapes emerging from chaotic patterns when we focus eyes at different distance

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Inception movie, that's a good one ! :) No I don't think I'm familiar with that? :)

[@MahatmaMichael]

Inception movie - I highly recommend recent 'Needle in a Timestack' movie

[@cyobytm]

from where did you buyed the stove equipments ?

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

our local hardware store actually!

[@mauricebrown9094]

The start and end of this video is there any fishing in those areas??????

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Perhaps in the place at the end of the video, some local fisherman go out with their small boats there

[@robertdelagardie9918]

Suur töö ära tehtud...aga miks ise jalgratast leiutada ja igasugu mitte praktilisi asju välja mõelda...kui palju lihtsam on ehitada teada tuntud ja läbi proovitud süsteeme.

[@kenfox22]

Need a bigger stove that burns wood all night long
