In the Cabin with the Wood Stove.

[@judyl5260]

Memories i have of watching you and Angel in your cabin. Especially cooking and baking! Be well Dale🌈

[@RobsAquaponics]

Now you have a stove it's a real cabin Dale... Hope you enjoy it this winter..

[@NotTelling51]

Such a cool little place. As I've told you before... only thing wrong with it is it's not on my property.

[@Flowerhen]

Wow, what a quaint and cozy set up !! Love the video !! =)

[@renidees1250]

2nd clip I've watched love it so interesting, great info and details of all the work you have done..in love chickens too 🐓🐔🐣 can't wait to watch more of all your projects the green house looks great will watch that one soon🤠😎👍cheers

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@tiggasmum]

Oops don't know what happened there anyway I meant to say.. I am so envious, I would love to come home from work & sit in that little cabin with the wood burner on,. It is so cosy and is in such lovely surroundings. ;0)

[@MimiZ914]

Thank you for healing our souls with these videos.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@LoveIsBeautiful1910]

Hello,I am a widow who lives in Alabama,I love your cabin and I am wanting to put in a wood burning stove in my home for my main heat source to save money on heat..I am so glad I found your video showing the board I can use. I was worried about what kind of base I would need on top of my laminate floor to be able to set up the stove.Now I can just put that down. I will have the chimney installed and the pipe going to it. I also like your gardening video. Thank you....regards Maria

[@milesainlaw5802]

A really informative, comforting and gentle video.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Miles.

[@LostCaper]

Great video. I lived full time in Newbrunswick for 35 year but now I am back and forth between N.B. and Cape Breton. Love NewBrunswick and your cabin.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@BasBleu02]

Nicely done -- Charming cabin! Your friends have sent lovely gifts. Thank you for the tour.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you I do love my cabin and yes friends have given me lovely things for it, even more since this video was made.

[@lorals2220]

I have never heard of bio bricks before. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheSonoman1976]

Great job with the cabin Dale! Can't wait to see you build the little front porch and to see how it holds up in snow.

[@MartinDoyle]

Excellent video. Well paced, honest and informative. You have a reassuring voice too! I'm about to fit a mini wood burner in my little shed here in the UK.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you very much. Good luck with your stove.

[@c2h2o9c9olate]

Nice cabin! Very easy place to "get away" and relax, read, enjoy the fire! I love it!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you David I look forward to using it in the winter never seem to have the time in other seasons.

[@ncautoman57]

Very nice and cozy.The bio bricks sound like a good thing. Let us know how well they work for you.. Thanks for sharing..

[@relevant.c5411]

lovely. just beautiful. good job!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you! 😊

[@jetpowered1]

That's a beautiful setting. Thanks for sharing!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

jetpowered1 Thank you glad you enjoyed it.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Just something I have wanted to have for years but never could afford but last year I built my own chicken coop and discovered that I like building things so with out any expense for labour it made the cabin more affordable.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you I have enjoyed it very much this winter and now I looking forward to using it this summer.

[@lb3153]

It is a very nice little cabin. Good job Dale! I hope you get a lot of joy and use out of it. Maybe a small portable rechargeable dvd player.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Lenny Brown Thank you I love to be out in the cabin especially in winter. I have plans to eventually install some solar power, not a lot but enough for some lights and maybe a small fridge.

[@lb3153]

Nothing wrong with a little at a time.

[@chuckwosilis1247]

With that size cabin and and nice cast iron stove, i betcha it must get up to 90-degrees in there, even during the winter. I utilize both firewood and some bio bricks without going crazy with roaring fires, and i keep my house quite comfortable, and i am lucky my fireplace is "centrally located" for improved convenience and heat distribution. 72-74 degrees in mid-winter for living room and kitchen, 66-68 degrees in bedrooms for better sleeping. 1000 sq ft ranch home. Normally 2.5 cords firewood and 1 TON BioBricks. Keep warm folks.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Even in cold weather it is hard to prevent it from over heating.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. I have wanted a cabin for a long time and it is a long way from perfect construction but I'm pleased with it because I was able to build it all by myself, something I never thought I could do. I usually dread the onset of winter but I'm looking forward to it this year. I have a large property 8.5 acres and I would like to have the cabin further out in the woods in a clearing but it was hard enough carrying all of the materials by hand out to this location.

[@jjdogfather5604]

I love your cabin. You did an awesome job building it.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you I surprised myself it did turn out looking quit nice.

[@shadowofjuniperhill]

I love your cabin! It looks so cozy and peaceful out in your garden. You have done a wonderful job on it. The deck will just add that extra little touch that will make it the perfect place to be all year round. I am having a serious case of cabin envy :)

[@DCARA06]

Love the decor! Especially the windows and doors with the trim & your oil lantern. BioBricks, what a great idea! So much cleaner and easier to store. I just did a quick search on them and it states that a pallet of the bricks is equivalent to a cord of wood. I also read that you should not overpack the stove because of the intense heat and that the bricks will grow in volume slightly as they burn.

[@christophermckellar1352]

Lovely! Looking forward to more of your videos. Well done!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it .

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. The bricks sure burn nice and clean and none of the mess from carrying logs in. Waiting for some cold weather to give them a good test.

[@Kennit45]

You have a very secluded private get away Dale....Nice cabin....I enjoy your cabin sharing videos.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Ken Lberry Thank you Ken.

[@Kennit45]

Your welcome Dale ...Keep making your videos and showing everyone what we all should enjoy in life.

[@ruthscott1367]

HI THERE REALLY ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO,JUST LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW AT THE WET AND RAINY CONDITIONS HERE IN NORTHEN IRELAND,WITH A GOOD SIZED MORGANS SPICE AND COKE IN HAND,BEAUITFUL LITTLE PLACE YOU HAVE,HEALTH TO ENJOY.

[@movedon12]

Great video thank you. I think your maple is beautiful

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Carole.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thanks Diane I want to try the bio bricks on some colder days but I think I will likely buy a pallet of them, they are so easy and convenient.

[@willowcoulter8274]

What a beautiful view of your cabin. TFS.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Willow.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

I will have to look into getting a little equipment and give it a try .

[@SamuelJaytutoring]

Lovely Video Dale! A real treat.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Samuel Jay Thank you.

[@princessrhondie]

Your cabin is adorable.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thanks for the information Brendan I remember your videos about the wood briquettes. I'm sure I will but a pallet of them nice neat clean and no chainsaw involved. That is well spotted yes I'm a lefty in a right handed world.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. I don't know much about carpentry so when I encounter a problem I solve it my way I'm sure a carpenter would be rolling around laughing. But it is just for me and I'm satisfied. I think the maple tree is safe. Getting colder here now so the stove will really be appreciated soon.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. I have a shipment of bio bricks being delivered this morning. Looking forward to enjoying the cabin in the cold weather.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. I can think of several places in the third world where I have travelled that my humble little cabin would be luxury accommodations .

[@pavman1000]

Nice little getaway cabin. I would love to build a small cabin like this someday out in the middle of nowhere to get a way when I need to.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you I really enjoy my little cabin.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thanks Freida. The only problem with doing it all yourself is you can't blame the mistakes on anyone. LOL From fatwood . com : "Our Fatwood comes from the stumps of a pine related to the longleaf but native to our Central American tree farms. By making use of the stumps, we are reducing overall waste while creating a sustainable and safe byproduct." I guess from what I've read the longleaf pine is almost extinct.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thanks Gary. I like the Bio Bricks too I'm sure I will get a pallet of them before winter sets in. I would like to try some in cold weather first.

[@jackwebb437]

Mr. Calder: I just wanted to tell you that I have watched almost every one of your videos. I've enjoyed most of them. Happy spring (at least it is here) from Kentucky.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Brooks Webb Thank you very much. We are having a very early spring here too.

[@jackwebb437]

Question: are you still using the pressed hardwood in your smaller stove now?

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Brooks Webb Yes all I use is the bio bricks.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Can't wait to test the stove in colder weather.

[@georgeryerson5788]

love that maple and totally agree with every posative reviews. thanks again great vid.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you George.

[@RVFreeDa]

Oh my goodness! You cabin is looking so good. It must feel so good to have made it all yourself. You have done such a great job.I'm going to have to try a branch off my pine tree to see if they start a fire. I like the cabin log book too. That is such a great little stove. And a little deck would top it off! Thanks for sharing!

[@lindaltsteele1313]

Love it ... Very Cozy 🍁

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Linda.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. I have got a lot of enjoyment out of my little cabin. A new video coming out tonight.

[@22justus24U]

The fat ligher comes from pine tree stumps or trees that fell and rotted, leaving the center core of the tree with concentrated sap. It eventually dries, leaving the wood solidified with the fat of the sap.. The woods behind my home is full of stumps with fat lighter in them. Some say it's from longleaf pine trees, and not sure if that's the kind in my part of the forest, but I have plenty of fat lighter and can easily collect a large pile of it in no time. It's hard to cut too being so solid.

[@debbie62140]

Great vid thanks. Love the idea of a cabin log book, should've started one when we built our cabin 3 years ago, we've recently upgraded with PV and a woodstove so will start one now, thanks for the idea. We're in France. Subscribed and liked.

[@dianemummvideos]

beautiful view at the beginning of the video.. I'm totally jealous.. looks so tidy and warm in there.. maybe someday our cabin can be like this.. love the wood stove.. let me know how you like those bio bricks..

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you I'm looking forward to that very thing.

[@jasonhowell8599]

the cabin looks so cosy.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you it is I love my little cabin and soon it will be cool enough to enjoy a fire in the stove.

[@timperley69]

Excellent little getaway.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+kevin timperley Thank you.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you they give a great heat.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you.

[@1965Pittsburgh]

Amazing! You are very talented!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

LOL I've been called a lot of things but never amazing.

[@joshconway7587]

But you haven't the Donegal accent. He was a monk in the 12century. He had connections in Carlos where I live. We have streets hall and places called after him. Thanks for replying its houses mom here. I just love the way you say it bye the way happy st. Patrick's day to you and your family. "Top of the morn." Ha ha take care God bless.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

It is amazing how easily it lights.

[@jaynemar1]

The Maple is gorgeous! Have been enjoying my own Autumn Blaze Maple the last few weeks. I love the oil lamp, quite beautiful. Me thinks you need a fire poker for adding fuel to the fire! I think I shall start calling you Henry David..... Seems fitting.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

LOL Thank you I do have a poker and a better stove now.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

It's great stuff must be nice to go out in your back yard and gather some.

[@debrahemerson7238]

I love your videos ❤️

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thanks that's an excellent idea I will get a pair.

[@sugerbear520]

Looks good!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. I have a cast iron Chiminea too. I think with a more efficient stove than the one I'm using the Bio Bricks would be almost smokeless.

[@ACheshireCat2001]

Have been enjoying your videos, you do a good quality job on them. I was on youTube today looking at stoves and fireplaces.... I had built my own out door fireplace where I cook with cast iron, your demo on the rocket stove got my attention first. I have a cast iron chimeria that I took the spark screen out of for a short time....it did go off like a jet engine. In the part of the US I am in, wood stoves are very restricted in design for air quality reasons. The bio bricks sound ideal.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. The log book idea really appealed to me too if you watched the video that I took the idea from his cabin is in a remote location and he never locks it so friends drop in and use it anytime and leave messages in the book.

[@enoch5157]

Just found this video. I live in Orange, Texas. Those fire starting sticks, are from the stumps of Short Leaf pine trees. These trees are fast growing, and are used to make lumber, as well as paper products. The high levels of resin, only occur in the stump, as a result of the tree being cut down. These trees, are not native to our area, but we're introduced, because of there fast growing. Thought this little, factoid would be interesting to know. I can go into the woods behind my house, and kick one of these stumps loose. One stump will light fires for a year or more. I was raised up calling it, rich lighter pine.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you that was very interesting.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Ruth Scott Thank you glad you enjoyed the video.

[@ttitanic121]

Nice piece of Canadiana Dale...U probably could live in there.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you, yes on a minus 20 day even if the stove heats the cabin up to 30 degrees it will be wonderful.

[@rscottlogan9471]

30 degrees!😦

[@stephenweiss8457]

Depending on the stove that you're using their great I've been using it for stoves and camping 42 books before you read this I usually use it in a g stove and it takes me about 2 the three bricks and night but there have been some nights that one brake will usually do it I hope you did invest in that crate forward to seeing more of your videos

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Stephen I now use a Jotul a much nicer stove.

[@woodstockpotter]

I'll bet if you split one of those bio-bricks in half with a heavy knife or hatchet, insert a couple little sticks of fat wood in between and light it you'll find it will start right up. Like your cabin. Very cozy. We have a similar pressed wood product here in NS but they smell like pine. They're bonded by the natural sap and sugars in the wood under extreme pressure. Enjoy!

[@tinagillilan]

Love the hanging oil lamp! Would be nice to have a high shelf, to set a few things up out of your way while you visit the cabin.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Tina Gillilan Thank you. The lamp was expensive and a waste of money very decorative but gives very little light. There are two shelving unites now a short one and a tall one.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. Hopefully the snow is a ways off yet.

[@SamuelJaytutoring]

Beautiful wood stove

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Samuel Jay I replaced it this past summer with a Yotul which I love.

[@panchovilla1486]

I hope you enjoy it man it looks really nice

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you I get a lot of enjoyment out of it .

[@99somerville]

Always enjoy the videos. Those bio bricks seem to burn very clean.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. Yes amazing clean hardly any ash left behind.

[@quadrunner706]

here in the south we call that lighter knot. great stuff and it burns for a long time.

[@sev1114]

I love fatwood.....can even be used to start a fire when it's wet....we buy our stock of it early in the burning season, becauses it often sold out in my area by mid winter.. I'm going to give the biobricks a try. My quick calculations say it would cost about $300 for the equivalent energy output as a cord of hardwood, so it wouldn't be as economical, but more convenient I would think.

[@aflyingiwillgo]

Hi Dale! Enjoyed your vids. Like to see more on how you built your hobbit house(Ha!). Nice job on your vid production. Done with style. I like that. Looking forward to seeing your next Video. Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow. Frank.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

aflyingiwillgo Thank you Frank. I put out this video this morning kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYKUnnameZt3rcU more from the cabin. This is a slide show of building the cabin kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKm5ipSCfq50eMk there is a link in the description below the video to the free set of plans that I used to build it.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. I had to do some googling but I guess PV is solar power, something I would like to do at some point.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Maybe but it is pretty dense the manufacturer recommends adding the first brick to a bed of hot coals. That is how this is manufactured not sure if they are still making it I heard something this summer about the company being in trouble.

[@ttfweb1]

Really nice video series

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Ttf Web Thank you glad you are enjoying them.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I love your cabin, I am starting to build one in March and although it is going to be a 'traditional' log cabin I am starting off with a small cabin like yours so I can live on site (my sister being around a quarter to half a mile away through the woods so initially I will be using her shower etc, I intend to be fully off grid and using a small (not one of the huge ones) wood stove with a hotplate and a single oven part. Later on I'm going to install a separate back boiler which will be fed from harvested rainwater and if need be from the stream (it comes from a spring higher up the mountain and is very fast running especially with snow melt) which is below where I will be building. I hope to try an ingenious way to make a water wheel out of an upright washing machine that I saw on KZbin, mainly to run a pump but if it works out well enough to supplement the solar panels. I was going to go for a solar/wind hybrid but the big National Grid Windfarm nearby keeps bursting into flames due to the high windspeeds we get in N.E. Scotland. I don't want to be burning the trees down due to my wind turbine self combusting! I wasn't sure if the idea of putting a small cabin would work but having seen yours I'm definitely going to do it. I live in London normally and wasn't looking forward to being under my sister's feet during the whole build or commuting back and fore. The smaller cabin which will be incorporated into the slightly larger log cabin is ideal and gives me extra space for a kitchen perhaps later on. You have a lovely spot there and I am off to see if you have more videos. Best wishes, A.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Anne Anderson (Foxiepaws) I replied to one of your comments with an Amazon link which google might put in your spam folder so have a look for it. I used solar on my cabin just because it is low maintenance with wind power when you have a problem it is hundreds of feet up in the air.

[@AnneAndersonFoxiepaws]

I never thought about it that way..but they do have a tendency to self combustion in Scottish winds!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Those Bio Bricks are an interesting product!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Yes I like the very much.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. You should have your stove and chimney installed by a qualified installer to make sure it is done correctly and follows all of the codes very important or you will have problems with your house insurance.

[@delphisfurlotte219]

very nice cabin.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Over packing them won't be a problem I will have to try for small fires or the cabin turns into a sauna. How much does a cord of wood cost you.

[@samraedeker8002]

Thank you for the video.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you David.

[@maineapple52]

Pine cones are great fire starters also.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Very few pine trees here.

[@jonesgerard]

I just bought the harbor freight version, vogelzang boxwood stove ($160), the problem is they tend to overfire and get way too hot. I fixed that by gluing the top surface with stove cement right out of the box, then added a seal around the door and using the same glass rope to block the open slot beneath the door....just push it in there, then blocked the slots in the hearth plate with a vinyl glove to try and throttle it down. Once I did that the temp dropped from 500 down to 350, I opened the door to look and the fire was going out. Now that its controllable I can't see anything wrong with it.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

jonesgerard I sometimes sleep overnight in the cabin and I wouldn't feel safe making these alterations to the stove I would be concerned that it might cause a carbon monoxide leak.

[@jonesgerard]

***** I sleep 6 feet from the stove, its in the bedroom BUT... its in a fireplace. When I was burning logs in the fireplace smoke was a huge problem, unless it was burning good with lots of wood the smoke backed out into the room, theres zero smoke now with just an 8" length of single walled flue pipe up the chimney. Making the stove airtight is safer, I can put the fire out by closing everything down, no fire=no monoixde.

[@baconsoda]

Brilliant! You have everything well sorted there and when you are sitting all snug and warm in a snow srorm I am going to be very jealous. Those wood blocks are produced under immense pressure which ruptures the cell walls in the wood to release lignin which then acts as a glue due to the heat produced by the process. I researched all this when I made the little briquettes because I wanted to see how the big guys did it. Are you left-handed? I noticed the orientation of the knives.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. I'm using a clear product that I bought that is just labeled lamp oil, hardly any odour. Hopefully not paraffin because the instructions with the lamp said not to use it.

[@w.a.stewart3191]

Dathank for your help.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

You're welcome.

[@nandpclement]

Your gonna need a pair of welders gloves,ouch lol... Nice job with the trim work

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thanks but the problem is that it is mostly too warm even in winter with the wood stove going. The floor has styrofoam insulation under it and is usually very warm.

[@hawaiidogs9277]

Ty sir

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Welcome

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

I'm thinking the same thing much more convenient, cleaner and a lot less work, no chainsaw.

[@jasonwakefield5477]

The cabin looks ready!ontp wonter what are you besy snow months? Peace be with you..
