Hi I am a educated chimney sweeper in my country, with 10 years behind me. This stove looks okay to me, if there is and guide for fire safety, and installation. But I can see some major security breaches on the fire safety. First the chimney pipe must be safely fastened, to something strong and not flammable material. And keep at least 3+ inches to flammable material all around. Secondly. The Stove Shall never ever stand on an flammable material, but on stones / clinkers / metal or Heated Glass (I do not regiment heated glass due to it is to heavy an it can break) I'd recommend 20+ inches in front of the stove, and to the sides 6+ inches. Be aware of that the plate need to be goes all the way to the wall behind the stove in a square shape. (This is so if you drop some sparkle or bigger in the dark there is a lot less chance of fire inside the house.) For the third. For the stove to flammable material, there need to be at least 3+ inches all around. Or whatever the manufaktur prescribe. (!!Remember to always follow the manufacturers advice!!) And if you want any other boring advies I am here.

[@1111-t5n]

Hmm the combustion chamber is fine yet any bigger you will need b-vent material if you would like to get deeper into the aspects of the install the oven part changes its over all volume related to combustion factors which is the only reason you are allowed single wall pipe in this situation. Also when installing 26gauge 4inch for exhaust venting please install it going in the proper direction the crimped end away from the combustion box. This will prevent a down draft from blowing carbon monoxide into your home during said emergency situation. Also remember tolerances are based on btu burn rates and the size of the burn box for the amount of ash soot and carbon left in the box on an average burn hour. Please always remember to clean the burner box area as excess ash and hot coals could burn through the burner box the reason for never mounting on wood. If you must use this save me stove buy a piece of durarock concrete board 1/2 will be sufficient to prevent a what if scenario till you can put out the ash if it does burn through and lands on the floor plus durarock is fire resistant for number of hours. anything bigger the burn box would need the proper stone hearth to prevent heat damage to the floor and surrounding areas this obviously not a cast iron design. I'm also in the heating cooling industry I'm even thinking I may want one of these for my self. Just to have in that what if moment

It's interesting how you set this up because I have a Colorado Cylinder Stove and I set mine up the same way. My stove sits on a fireproof blanket and I use a cement backer board to protect the wall. I have used it in two real-life situations where we lost power for over 12 hours (and it was 0 - 10 degrees Fahrenheit outside). I don't have the little oven attachment but that also seems like a good idea. The water jacket is also a great addition for things like coffee, soup, and dishwashing.

I'll stick with my kerosene heater. Kerosene can last for years, properly stored. A 1/2 gallon in my heater(a rectangular one, with removable tank, heats up to 500sq feet, fits my needs) lasts for 14 hours, so that's 140 hrs, almost 6 days, from one 5 gallon can(I have multiple 5 gallon cans). This has worked well for me over the last 40 years(I've replace the heater about once every decade)and I live rural in northern MI. It has never failed me in a power outage and since I'm almost 70, this is very easy for me to fill(I fill the tank outside), start and run.

My thanks to WWH for taking time to make this video, strictly for the benefit of others. It's an excellent suggestion and one I'd never before considered, even though I've been looking at these stoves for winter camping for quite some time. Kinda justifies buying MORE camping gear. Roy, this is for EMERGENCY USE and will obviously be attended to at all times. A spark is NOT going to ignite a piece of plywood and burn down the house. Some tinfoil around the wood would do the same thing and not require purchasing a sheet of "Cement Board" (which will be a crumbly mess as soon as someone steps on it). For a temporary set-up of a few days or a week or two at most knowing what to use from what we already have readily at hand is useful. There are obviously safety considerations, such as ventilation, chimney support, rain deflection, wall protection etc, but when the SHTF anyone with a modicum of common sense could make this work.

[@johndoe-uz2kc]

A cold air intake is a good idea to, just have another tube going to the bottom of the plywood to the stoves damper,it stops the stove from drawing air from the home, making it safer for co2 and stopping cold spots.

[@TheRebelmanone]

@CJ Wilemon Yea but you missed what he said about the cold spots, the drafts the fire causes by consuming o2. If you don't hook the combustion air intake to a pipe leading outside, then your stove will cause a vacuum in the living space and now those little cracks anywhere and everywhere in the house will be blowing because of the negative pressure your stove fire created in the living space. If you bought a new wood stove, a real one, it will have like a 6" input combustion air intake connector for 6" pipe, and it is for what he is talking about, to run outside. But in this case not thru a window either. But you get the point, it stops the vacuum in the living areas and now instead of having negative pressure allowing all the doors and windows blow cold air right at you, you will now be building a positive air pressure in the living area because your are heating it, and this is the point, now the drafts stop/slow down. You have positive pressure now and any crack the air flows out not in, and the windows won't act like they are open blowing a draft across the room to your fire. Depends on your windows, and your house but you might always feel a draft no matter what, but it helps to not suck o2 out of your living areas with fired appliances, so much safer anyway. Note: all your fired appliances should be hooked up like that nowadays. Your water heater, furnace, wood stove, etc... high efficiency furnaces and water heaters will have combustion inputs hooked outside. Modern wood stoves have them too, real ones.

[@Na-if5ze]

I have a wood stove in my livingroom. Professionally installed. The peace of mind is worth the money ten times over. With the things going on in the world today, it's not out-of-line to think we could lose power for long periods of time this winter. Remember Texas last year? If you lose power in December, the insurance company will be the furthest thing from your mind. Freezing to death will be your main concern. Install it like he says to and you should be fine. Use your head; take anything combustable (easy to ignite and catch fire) and move it away at least 4-5 feet. Don't run the chimney outside too close to the house or deck or trees, etc. Stock up on wood. Cut the plywood for the window and fit it now, before you need it. That way, if you lose power you're not trying to do it in the middle of a storm, and with no power! Then, you can just leave it sit in the garage or basement ready to be installed in a few minutes. Good firewood can be found easily pretty much anywhere right now. I'd get some now. Old pallets make great firewood for a stove like this, and it burns well. Pine will leave too much pitch in the chimney that could cause a chimney-fire fairly soon. Pine is used for framing houses (think construction sites), which is where a lot of people will think to get firewood first. Not a great idea.

Interesting thx for posting. Do a lot of winter hot tent camping in -40 and wind will blow that chimney apart. Hook 3 s hooks onto end and then use string to tie it down in 3 directions.

[@douglasdailey5998]

It is always good to have a backup heat source. Whether it be a wood stove or a small generator to run your furnace and fridge. You can hook up a 110 volt box on the outside of your furnace to plug in a generator. It is better to have a electrician do it to be prepared for long term blackouts . You all have a blessed day.

[@feralbigdog]

you dont want to use a generator for heating, let it be your power plant if needed, but have another means to heat an cook. that was what was said on the self defense show "the best defense: survival"

[@johnassal5838]

@@feralbigdog I think he meant to run the igniter and blower fan off the generator. It'd be pretty involved as a DIY thing *even if done safely* but you _could_ get a tremendous amount of heat from the exhaust of a generator since likely only 20-25% of the fuels energy makes it into generating electricity. Purpose made devices are called "cogenerators" that use the waste heat for hot water and space heating, meant mostly for off-grid settings but in places with large heating loads the nearly 100% efficiency makes their operation cost competitive with grid powered heaters.

Penny Kelly said it's 7 to 9 years from height of the mini ice age in northern climes (e.g. Canada) - people in the Northern hemisphere definitely need this kind of solution/wood burning stove.

[@roydesignedthat]

While I like the idea of an emergency heat source, this set up is dangerous as it is shown for a few reasons! The Flake Board is one problem here! Please consider Cement Board instead on the floor. It is used in showers and bath surrounds so should be readily available. With a non flammable floor area no spark falling on the floor is a problem! This would make this safer assuming a carbon dioxide and smoke detector are also part of the package! Also keep in mind that a makeshift chimney could easily back draw and smoke inside your home with just the opening of a door or window causing a negative draft! If doing this for an emergency situation, I personally would either not burn when sleeping or if too cold at night, suffer and babysit the stove, while the children sleep then shift off when your partner can takes over! And did I say the obvious, a fire extinguisher! I have lots of experience with small stoves. Beats freezing for sure but just be aware of the dangers! All the bestRoy

[@tammamshud]

With how he set the chimney up i cant wait till it rains.

[@sonofeloah]

If the stove is running during the rain, the pipe will be hot enough to vapor off the rain. Same if it is snowing. BUT! One can get some "stove rope" that is fiberglass rope for sealing parts of woodstoves such as the door and what we have here, the stove pipe. Wrap the length of rope you need with some aluminum foil and then press it into place going from the outside in. That will solve any potential issues. Also, I would run some bare wire to wrap around the stovepipe and attach the ends to the eves so the wind does not blow the pipe away.

[@mcard48able]

[@erichanastacio9695]

You probably need a small metal umbrella on the exhaust pipe.... So nobody could shoot a photon torpedo through it... Right, Anakin??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Now safely attach the stovepipe while standing on the top step of your ladder. If you survive that you'll get to do it again after a breeze blows down the unsupported pipe.

The only problem I see with this is that there needs to be a rain cap on top of that chimney pipe with a spark arrestor built into it. It' suck to get a stove full of rain water

[@kerim.peardon5551]

Can't you just turn the elbow joint sideways so that it's not facing directly up? Old-style British chimneys had a t-joint on top of the flue so the smoke went out the sides and rain didn't come in the top, so I don't see why smoke wouldn't come out of this if the joint was turned to the side.

Interesting. Many years ago, I made a rocket stove ( 2 old propane tanks) heater, water heater ( will actually create steam), cooker and built an oven hooked into the exhaust pipe made out of 2 ammo cans. A lot like your set up.

[@mikehoward8201]

My wife and I built our own home some 40 years ago, it has a 3/4 basement and in it we have a large wood stove. It is flat topped and comes in very handy as both a heat source for out home and to cook on. This looks like a good emergency set up when the power goes out, but I suggest you set it up and use it to get familiar with its operation. And you will need to obtain some aged firewood as you cannot just go out into your back yard in an emergency and make some. Do not expect this stove to solve all your problems however, because in a power outage, you will soon lose all your food in both refrigerator and freezer unless you have a generator and fuel for it. So canned food that you like is a necessity. Finally consider what you need for lighting. Long burn candles can help a lot, but you will not be able to read a book using them. Keep several flashlights and some packs of appropriate sized batteries also available. This should be the basics of what you need….food, water, heat, lighting, and a way to cook. If you have to, you can live a week without bathing. Keep a few bottles of scented rubbing alcohol on hand, put on wash cloth, rub over face, hair, arms, and then the stinky parts to keep clean.

[@shelleymessier1494]

The stove is amazing absolutely looks great. Absolutely functional in all aspects. However, I must say that if any normal household in the city were to do this they would be fine because of the dangers and their house insurance would be void. Just a caution. The stove is absolutely 😊

[@danlauer9676]

In the city, they probably wouldn't have enough fuel to last more than a day or two. Furniture would be all burned up after one or two days. So, in the city, it's not really even a consideration unless you have a whole room filled with seasoned lumber.

[@lynneclark5313]

Wonderful video and very informative. Personally, I would put fire-proof tile on the lower piece of plywood, just in case. Also, get some thin metal and use it, under the stove pipe, onto the plywood to protect the plywood from the intense heat of the stove pipe.

If the pipes are galvanized they should be burned off outside as the off gas from the initial burns is highly toxic. This is an excellent vid. Suggestion: A stove jack at the least for the pipe going through the OSB/plywood. Risk of fire greatly reduced.

[@Robb403]

Your best investment is a generator and a heat pump type of air conditioner which is fairly common in Texas. Make sure your heat pump has a switch over box so you can plug your generator into it. What good is it to have an emergency wood stove? If you live in the burbs, where would you get emergency wood that is dry enough to burn in it?

[@kaehuesantos2418]

Wow!! Great info. Where can u by this stove from...

[@anthonymazzone2875]

For an emergency stove, it's an ok idea. For a main source of heat, a very poor idea. Without internal baffling, the majority of the heat escapes through the stovepipe. The only benefit is that the pipe is single wall. That gives a bit of extra heat. Best thing to do it to get an actual wood burning stove that has a cooking shelf. The new ones are extremely efficient. Efficiency equals saving money because wood will last longer, and you'll need less of it.

[@THEGLASSMANSWORLD]

a rocket stove with mass heater would work as well.

[@oneyaker]

Using galvanized pipe indoors (with sublimating zinc) is insane and not screwing the pipes together is even more insane. No chimney cap is also great so you can get gallons of water inside in heavy rains.

[@jaanushiiemae2164]

The next piece of pipe must go over the previous one (or the previous one must go inside the next one) starting with fireplace connection, here all next pieces going inside the previous ones what is potential carbon monoxide hazard. Those perforated ends of the pipe give you ideal channels to leak carbon monoxide into the house. It is an easy fix, unclear why it is done this way.

[@dspiercedylan8926]

this is a commonly misunderstood topic. Within a minute or two of hot exhaust going up the chimney the entire vent will suck air into any cracks in the vent (opposite of pushing smokes exhaust out). This is called "drafting".

[@fastacker2]

Well, as you show it, with the oven, water heater, etc, looks to be more like $800 or more. Not exactly the cost of 1 month insurance. Also, you need to support that chimney or the first gust of wind will blow it down. And you need a collar to seal around the pipe where it goes outside. And you need a damper to control the draft. And it should be sitting on a fireproof plate, not a hunk of burnable plywood. And of course you need saws and splitting equipment, and a place to dry the wood. And the wood you bring in will also bring in spiders, ticks, etc.

[@davidhouston5783]

The problem i see with this might be that the stove pipe is not high enough on the house. A chimney is supposed to be higher than the peak of your roof or you might get a downdraft if there is any wind.

[@jonrosenow5812]

Not necessarily. Triangulate the vertical 10 feet from the horizontal edge of roof and your fine.

[@vyger6336]

@@jonrosenow5812 Actually you are supposed to measure 10ft from your chimney to a level point on your roof then add two feet or more to the chimney height. Any peak that is within 10 feet of the chimney can compete with the chimney. This can cause draft problems. This is why the rule calls for the chimney to extend 2 feet above any structure within 10 feet of the chimney. This chimney is piped so crazy it just might work or not... LOL.

[@carinabakewell2311]

My question is, if you have the end of the chimney pointing upwards...won’t it get full of rain or snow? Also if it’s not fixed to the wall it could just break off in the wind?.....anyway thanks for the video....interesting stove and idea...

The snow & rain will melt & evaporate as it gets closer to the heat. But it would be a good idea to replace it with a covered vent for the time its not in use.

This was a guide. Use your own common sense.There is no need to "seal" the pass-through. if you want to, be my guest. There are many ways it could be done. The takeaway from here should be, one of these stoves could be a lifesaver. Some might not make it.
