How I extend the burn time of my tiny wood stove to survive -25C temperatures

[@shermanhofacker4428]

When the pets come around, grab them and give them a cuddle!

[@homesteadingmillennial5875]

Oh, I do. Maui (my dog) isn't into cuddling much and he's a forest dog now so he's kinda stinky no matter how much I brush him 😂 but my cat, Ninja loves to cuddle. Cats are ultimate cuddle buddies!

I just got the exact same stove and I absolutely love it! I’m appreciating your videos. I’m building out a37 foot Skooly.

Good! I'm glad that you're enjoying my videos. I'm working really hard on them! I also enjoy my wood stove a lot. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours just as much as I enjoy mine! I don't have any complaints about it tbh. Seems well made, shipped well and works great!

I like what you do. No religion, no racism, no criticism, nothing bad here. Just thousands of people to bless each other and share.

Anthracite coal will extend the burn time, add a barometric damper to the vent to increase the out put of your stove.

That is interesting , just bought a tiny wood stove. I am using 50 aquire foot cabin. Well it's a pappy shack a hunting camp.. wish me luck

[@homesteadingmillennial5875]

That's awesome! What brand of wood stove did you buy?

[@rickayers3150]

Survival cub camp stove

I think that if it's not your permanent residence, you'll be fine. Like, if it's just a hunting cabin. No problem. If it is your permanent residence...well, you can do it, but it'll be tricky, especially working around first world kind of stuff like working a day job away from the homestead. I do work away from the homestead, but I make it work.

Something you should consider if you haven't already is getting rocks or bricks to create a "mass" to put around your stove. You want that heat to absorb in the mass and then it'll slowly release for many hours. I know it takes away the esthetics of the stove but sometimes practicality must take first priority.

[@homesteadingmillennial5875]

I have actually considered this! My local hardware guy suggested it and I really think it's a great idea. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily) the weather has been quite mild for most of this year. We had -25C temperatures in December, but have never reached that close since then and spring is on its way!

Am I understanding you correct - you can't run the wood stove for days & days? Or you don't bcs it puts out to much great .... thx

[@homesteadingmillennial5875]

Thanks for the question! So, a regular wood stove will run for anywhere between 8-12 hours at a time. You'd load it up with kindling, let to burn to coals and then put some larger pieces on it. My wood stove, because it's so tiny, has a burn time of only 1-1.5 hours instead of 8-12. So, it's a shorter burn time, but also, if my wood stove did run for 8 hours, it would be way way too hot because I only have to heat 150 sqft of space. I hope that answered your question! Feel free to ask anytime :)

With all due respect - As a beginner, you need to write an Outline before filming, as you are frequently all over the map on your verbals. Keep going....
