TESTED. The BEST Wood Stove for our Off Grid Homestead

[@dainwilliams4265]

For all the Families out there that dont have a son or sons in there family well it is so CLEAR TO SEE THAT ALL IS VERY MUCH STILL ALRIGHT. Having both sons and daughters in the family arrangement is awesome but My GOD LOOK WHAT THIS FAMILY IS DOING WITH just Dad, Mom and 4 awesome girls. Your channel is much more than entertainment its so informational and most importantly therapeutic. MOM and DAD I want to say what a tremendous job you both are doing growing up those Eclxceptional young ladies. Its such a great privilege to be able to get a glims into your world because it's so amazing to see how well rounded you all are. My only recommendation to you guys is that you never stop doing what makes you happy and keep on improving on your improvements. Looking forward to all the new episodes to come.🎉

25 years ago I bought a cottage on a lake in Ontario 1100 sqf built in 1950. It had a beautiful Fisher heavy duty large wood stove that was only 5yrs old, worked great and heated the whole place, lived there for 5 years, 5 cords a wood a winter, average. Renovated, and lifted the cottage, slab on grade with 5 course of block, new beams, new windows, spray foam under block wall, and packed the attic with pink, new front and back door, it warmed up faster, and no drafts anymore. The 3rd year I bought a Pacific Energy catalytic medium size meant for up to 1500 sqf. Well let me tell you it was a sauna, took a while to learn how to run it. How to control the burn, minimize coal build up, and make it last when your not home. Replaced the upper air manifold once, the side and back metal pieces that holds bricks upright twice, did the rope on the door a bunch of times to keep a good seal, and that's it. Oh ya and the bricks once. My wood usage went to a 1/3 if not more, best investment ever, and still goin strong, oh ya and that beautiful 1200lb Fisher, its in my shop keeps it warm, put a brass valve in the side of it, copper line and have a reservoir, and burn all my used motor oil. Keep the videos coming, enjoy the ride, and stay warm this winter.

[@The_Easy_Life]

Wow thanks for sharing. I upgraded from a Blaze King to a Liberator Rocket Heater. I went from 7 1/2 cords of fire wood to 2 1/2 cords equivalent wood pellets. I don’t have wooded lands to harvest firewood so I had to purchase wood $150 per cord approximately $1200 now $350 per pallet $700. $500 savings. The best thing is that it’s totally gravity fed, no electricity required and I can fill the hopper and not have to worry about it for 14 hours

[@chapter4travels]

Are you using pellets or split logs? It seems like pellets would work best in that stove?

[@cousinrustyyall3071]

I have a Liberator in my house (92% efficient), I use about 3 tons pellets per year.

[@gullinvarg]

I was wondering how it compares to a rocket stove. Thanks. ☺️

[@Ang.0910]

Yes but you’re relying on someone for pellets and not up to code in some states I think. I would love to have one but I think home value is better with a wood stove

@@Ang.0910 it is UL certified amongst other certifications. I got the impression they made certain compromises to the best rocket stove design specifically so they could get some of those certifications (because the certifications are based on regular wood stoves not rocket stoves).

Any suiter that comes would be verry lucky to have them in their life. What skill tests do you have for them or what they have for them would be a better analogy. I can see them " I bet I can skin a pig faster than you can, split a cord before you can" These young ladies are the ones every young girl should be looking at as roll models. Well done folks.

[@brianlamb2117]

Your channel is the best...love it

[@jsytac]

That secondary combustion flame is what is making the burner more efficient. The lack of secondary combustion is why the smoke from your charcoal maker is inflammable (it can burn). If you add air holes two-thirds the way up the charcoal maker, you should get secondary combustion inside, creating a more efficient machine.

[@calholli]

I'm still using an old 55 gallon barrel kit. I put a plate in the top of it, so that the smoke has to roll forward towards the door before it can go up above the plate-- and then roll all the way to the back again before it can escape.. So it traps the heat really well. It's very efficient as long as you keep the fire hot; doesn't smoke at all.

Nice data analysis and comparison. Greetings from Czech Republic.

[@moongooat]

My first comment (after seeing a lot of youtube videos from your channel). First of all I love your channel, one of the best! And now I really feel the urge to step in with a comment. First of all, never ever start a fire from the bottom or in the middle! Allways start a fire from the top! Why? Because you will get more energy out of the logs burning and less sot into the chimney (and yes less smoke too). The part of saving wood, or getting more heat out of the same wood should really be a simle yes to start the fire from the top. Second on that, regular steel/iron woodstoves will still not be very efficient, most of the heat will go out the chimney (as said in swedish heating for the crows). The solution is some kind of mass heater (there are serveral, in sweden there are "rörspis" or "kakelugn", in the US "mass heaters"). Heating up a large peal of bricks through a channel system captures a huge amount of the energy from the stove, to keep the whole house warm just one fire in the morning and one in the evening is enough. Its a very big save on all wood!

[@oldpete3153]

Been using a Blaze King King model here in the BC Interior for 20 years now. I burn mostly Fir with a bit of Pine depending on the point of the season. It goes 27/7 for 6 to 7 months and I go through about 5 to 6 cord. I put 2 very large pieces of Fir in about 9:00 pm and it will get me through till 7:00 to 8:00 am no problem with an average temp around freezing. When it gets down 10 to 20 below then I have to load er up full. Wouldn't change to anything else.

[@justkelly6992]

I've been inside Blaze Kings plant in Walla Walla, Wa. They truly make a solid and safe stove. I tend to stick to tried and true and I have always felt that Blaze King gave me good bang for my buck. But technology waits for no one.

[@rogerf7265]

My parents stopped using electric heat in the 70's and we had a Heat O Later fireplace that did a pretty good job heating their three bedroom house wirh 12 foot vaulted ceilings but you had to burn a lot of wood to keep it reasonably comfortable. Then they got a Blaze King fireplace insert and not only did it burn a lot less wood it could literally heat you out of the house in the middle of December in the Oregon Cascades with little to no visible smoke coming from the chimney. Now that my mom is too old to be cutting wood she has switched to a Blaze King pellet stove and it is even more efficient than the insert. Blaze King advertises an 81% thermal efficiency which is right on par with what oil and natural gas furnaces typically operate at.

[@knoxmotorsports]

I have a older Blaze King king in my shop we load it about ever 14 hrs could go 16 , it sat in lower level of house hardly used in like new condition ,I paid 500.00 $ for it 4years later we had to replace cal co verter 400.00 dollars Blaze King awsome heat stove i also reduce to 6inch pipe

[@bheckner]

The efficiency of that stove is outstanding

[@HamidA-to8vy]

1- The unit you have invented makes sense in terms of comparing stoves, you definitely have a degree. 2- Single wall pipe is better, but it can cause a fire hazard where it meets wood. 3- At first glance when you notice how clean the exhaust is, you can tell which stove is better. 4- You can add thermal mass in the form of a chimney or a dirt seat to improve efficiency and comfort

[@calholli]

Your pipe should be single wall when it's exposed in the room like that.. It helps radiate the heat out into the room, but once you pass through the ceiling-- you would want it to be double wall/insulated in your attic... If it's just passing through your building/roof-- it's fine to keep it all single wall, as long as you have a proper roof adapter, that keeps everything far enough away from the wood. You're golden

[@MrMagoo321]

Once the the house gets warm I only burn couple of logs. I can get 25 hours of burn at number 3 setting. The set at 75 degrees all the time.

Have you ever thought about a rocket mass heater style? Trying to convince the wife to leave the city fro a while, and i use your videos as proof its possible and not without luxuries. As always enjoyed it immensely

[@mikewurlitzer5217]

As good as the Blaze King was in this example, a Rocket Mass Heater would be significantly better with exhaust temperatures probably down around 120F as they extract so much heat PLUS burn at a higher temperature to consume as much of the combustibles in every piece of wood.

[@Maxid1]

9:58 Single wall pipe gives you more heat into the space. You really only need double walled pipe where it goes out through the roof. Or if you have a well insulated space and want combustion air to come from outside instead of burning your breathing air from the inside. That tends to make you dizzy and fall down. and die.

[@gerrylarson3675]

I love this stuff! Your kids would hate me, cuz i would next say ok, now we do this for alder, lodgepole, cedar, fir . . Ha ha. Pretty fun.

[@calholli]

That's so funny that you "leave a tunnel".. lol I've been doing that trick for years.. What I usually do is lean two flat sides against each other to make a triangle tunnel; and light kindlin, twigs and a little cardboard inside that.. and it will burn and light the wood forming the tunnel; etc. Very reliable.. just light it and walk away... The tunnel is Key. It's funny that we can come to the same conclusions on our own.

[@greenman4508]

In Maine we like to say wood stoves with catalytic converters are best filled with concrete and one end of a chain attached. Best used as anchors 😂. They are great if your wood is split small enough, the exact right seasoning moisture content,and you don’t shut it down too soon because you’re in a rush. I’ve had a Vermont castings that would build up gas and ignite with such force it blew the door open and coals shot all over the yurt floor. If you buy a used one you gotta really make sure it’s never been overheated because warping ruins everything. If everything is done just right and you operate it correctly, they are awesome. They go and go and go and waste nothing. I’m an old rectangular jotul guy now. Thanks for sharing your adventures 👍🙏🏻

Im heating a 1800 sq ft 2 story house with a lopi freedom bay fireplace insert. 22 yrs now. Start it late sept till late April or mid May. Wood comes from tree trim co's at 18". Use a hydraulic splitter. I split a months at a time. I don't like risk of it all split and stacked. I think over a 2 year supply is here, a few or more sheets of old OSB lay on top of it stacked. Keeps it dry. This stove is EPA approved plus it has a fan pushing room air in the bottom front atound the stove, out the top. Mid size fire heats good. Sub zero its running 600° at its most efficient. House is perfect.

Great stove You should always seal your flues, and never reduce the spigot size on the fire The flue should be the the same diameter as spigot on the fire

[@calholli]

You can also really effect the amount of loading that you do if you just take a bit more time and actually puzzle your pieces in there better, rather than tossing the in randomly. You don't have to go overboard, but just choose a little wiser and spin and turn your woods so that it all stacks together better and you can always get more wood in there. My problem is that mine usually starts getting too hot and tries to run away. lol.. Even with both flues shut. I have to toss in a cup of water sometimes if it gets way too hot like that.

[@TheMarlboroMan1969]

Its not that hard to figure it out. But putting it in numbers after the test makes it so much more clear. The old Stove looses a lot of its heat because it goes straight up in the chimney. The Blaze King has that Valve that can reduce that loss and in that way you get more heat out of the wood instead of blowing it straight in the air through the chimney. The fact you have the Pipe as single tube is alsa a win, that way you get some heat in the room to :P

Interesting unit that you invented.

Make sure the gasket-ropes and gaskets are in good working condition. Do a lighter-flame check along the hatch, for draft issues, if the flame is sucked in or blown outwards, theres a problem. Bad gaskets, loose, with holes, not sealing tight, is a major issue, and it burns fuel much faster than when things are working correctly. Also, make sure there's a tight seal around the new outlet, might need some flat gasket to seal it up. Yup..definitely seal that up with some gasket.. There's many ways to start a fire, using the top-down approach is considered the best for indoor wood-stoves, its virtually fool-proof, pre-heats the chimney and reduces smoke and soot-production.

[@mb210047]

I love data

[@MHawkeye]

based on what ive read on diy forums and other videos, the main reason your kosi stove was inefficient with wood seems to be from not having a chamber to retain heat. in the videos ive watched, people created an enclosure at the top or added an extra layer in the wood chamber to increase the surface area of heat absoption(pretty much whats in the new stove). that setup allows the stove to burn at a higher temp, which inproves burning efficiency. spending 2500 on the stove is quite an investment, especially given the minimal return in what was emphasized. personally if youre looking for a more automated process, i would be looking into a pellet setup instead. a pellet stove with an automatic feeder and ignitor would reduce the need for manual refills and you can make them yourself, though i havent used this type of stove so im not entirely sure of the specifics.

[@WhatDadIsUpTo]

I've been accused of thinking outside of the box. My response is, "There's a box"? That said, I build and use wind turbines that compress air instead of making electricity. All that said, I have a plethora of compressed air (2,000 gallons) at my disposal. I use a variation of a rocket stove / mass heater, but the catch is, I feed the fire with compressed air, much as a blacksmith uses a bellows. Hot? Oh, baby! The take-away is COMPLETE COMBUSTION. A modicum of wood turns into a blast furnace and heats the mass (concrete) untouchably hot in about half an hour. That mass then slowly (all night long) sheds it's heat to the room. All that's left is a rouge- sized powdery ash. A "normal" RMH would cut your fuel consumption way down too, without any fancy combustion air introduction.

[@robertmclean6629]

Do a test of the Blaze King with a 6” stove pipe versus an 8” stove pipe. I have a feeling the lower velocity but higher flow of hot exhaust will give you better heating results with a catalyst. This means more dwell time for the smoke to interact with the hot catalyst enhancing secondary combustion.
