Installing a New Wood Cook Stove in my Off Grid Log Cabin

[@olisykes27]

Oh my God! I live near the factory of nordica in Veneto Italy. thats crazy seeing this at the cabin!

[@deannacalef3513]

What a wonderful addition to the cabin. Fresh baked bread is awesome.

[@freddyjholst60]

There are so many times when I watch this channel and think, "This man needs a hand truck." This is definitely one of those.

[@michellelyon3149]

Or at the very least sliders!

[@Jeff_MT09]

There was a hand truck in the cabin. I don’t know why he didn’t use it (on camera)!

[@freddymax5256]

Bull headed determination.

[@warrenstanford7240]

There’s an old saying “ strong in arm, thick in head!” 🤔😆

[@leighdf]

@@warrenstanford7240 Funny saying, but I wouldn't apply it to Shawn. Watching him build that cabin by himself is a masterclass in self-reliance. Moving the stove by hand stands out because he's never been shy about using levers and pulleys.

[@schwabrichard9829]

Shawn, that is like saying goodby to an old friend. You built the cabin around that stove!

Hi Shawn, quick tip for you when using baking paper to line a bowl. If you quickly scrunch it up into a ball, open it, and scrunch it up again, it will then conform to any shape you put it in. So it will fit right in that bowl without popping out. Great video. Enjoy your new cook stove.

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

I like how you show how you sometimes do things with just the natural light to illuminate your way. It helps people see the reality of living without light switches to willy nilly flip on everywhere. I think even for those of us who will always remain in town, it makes us more thankful for all the conveniences we take for granted.

[@ericwitt4586]

You can send that old stove to me lol been looking for one for my cabin the fire place eats too much wood about every 2-3 hours I’m putting wood in it it makes for very little sleep lol I like the new stove it’s awesome buddy

Truly you are jack of all trades. You can build a cabin with your own hands, and make the most beautiful loaf of bread ever. You are blessed with many talents Sean.

[@theresalero7039]

As a woman without a lot of strength, here's how I move big heavy things in the house. Rug, towel,or blanket underneath to reduce friction. A good stout flat strap is very helpful to lever things around too.

Better yet get two of your strapping menfolk to move the item. 🤔👍

[@VikkiBernson]

Ovens and home made bread. Nothing better , how perfect 😍

[@pyroslev]

Cali coming in hearing the oven door close is perfect. Reminds me of my mom's old dog. Pawed at the door whenever she'd open the oven.

[@peterjones4621]

The new stove is nice, the cabin is essentially completed and now you're living in the comfort you created. I think one of the best parts of your videos is watching you cook healthy and delicious food, I love vegetables and egg together and fresh baked bread is the nectar of the Gods! Great video Shawn, I hope to see you have a fun and relaxing winter, you deserve it.

[@ericlahtinen2796]

Hey Shawn if you get yourself an old broom handle and cut it in half. Lay underneath your pallet or whatever you're moving, makes it a lot easier to move around and won't damage flooring. Great looking cookstove. Nothing like the smell of bread baking. I foresee some excellent pizza in your future.

[@aubieal0878]

Baking bread, frying bacon, coffee perking, and a hickory wood fire are wonderful fragrances Shawn!

[@RatdogDRB]

Now I see why you hadn't greased those hinges on the wood stove, new wood stove in the works. Yep, freshly baked bread rocks!

Food always tastes better cooked on a wood stove. Grew up living with my grandfather. We heated and cook on a wood fired stove back in the 50's.

[@livelife4471]

Nice addition to the cabin. That will expand your menu. The smell of bread baking will certainly add a homie aspect to the cabin. I will be curious to hear how you like this wood cook stove. It seems to be a popular style. Enjoy it.

[@michaeltablet8577]

After years of watching your videos I still look forward to the next one!!

[@christinetaylor1431]

Is that fire box smaller? Hope you don't have to keep getting up to add wood. My father said back in the day, if your wood stove just can't heat your cabin, put rocks on the cooking surface. The rocks will add more heat. Thats what they did in Sweden. Love the oven.

Very solid looking stove. You will love that oven as you have already learned. Next thing we know, you will be baking cakes and cookies! I grew up with a wood cook stove on our farm in Kentucky in the 50's. It was a bit bigger than this, had a warming oven above the cooking surface where one could usually find something to snack on and a reservoir on the side which the kids were responsible for filling every night.

[@richardsims1551]

[@jeangreenslade1790]

My grandfather had a wood cook stove. We had Sunday dinner cooked on it. The cook stove was in a separate room from the modern kitchen.

[@ws4860]

I almost had the same oven in the place I lived before and I loved it and still miss it. I never had better chicken wings and other crispy stuff. Also cooking on wood is something very special. My stove model had what we call a “water ship,” a kind of bain marie, a pot integrated into the side of the stove with a connection to the water pipe. This means you always have several liters of hot water available. Another addition is the water pocket, also with a connection to the water pipe. A closed system with internal hot water also integrated into the stove. A type of boiler with a water pump that allows one or two radiators to be connected in the adjacent rooms.

[@joelhumphreys915]

Shawn this might be the best episode ever. The new stove is outstanding, Excellent choice of the stove for the cabin. In 1967 I went up to Thompson Michigan with my grandparents the man that had the cabin it was name Stahl cook breakfast on the stove, which was Wood, fired, bacon and eggs, and all the rest, but it was a similar stove to what you are cooking on now, I can still taste it. I just love for a long time your KZbin channel I watch. Emily is also love her channel. This was exciting because it reminded me of breakfast morning in Thompson Michigan. Very good choice on the stove. Wish I could be there.

looks like Calie is slowing down a bit ❤ Shawn use oil on the bench instead of flour, it keeps the floor cleaner and stops criters comming in . It's also better for the wood. Flour dries out the wood and makes it splinter. I was a Baker for 25yr. I know these things. you only need a little bit. Mike.

[@hanneken4026]

​@@sidb37I think he means it's better to keep the workung surface oiled, to keep it smooth and stop the dough from sticking; rather than dusting it liberally with flour, some of which could fall to the floor and attract ants.

Firebox half the size? Hope you get the same heat output at -40, totally understand why you made the switch for cooking but I wouldn't get rid of the woodstove until you used the LaNordica for a season. I would have both.

[@aadij1]

Yes! My La Nordica is the PITTS! I used it for just over two years and was cleaning it two months ago and noticed the boiler has a hole! Discovered it was no longer under warranty but there is ‘0’ customers service anyway. It was a huge financial investment and my only source of heat here in cold wet NW Europe. I couldn’t get it hot enough for baking bread (due to boiler I guess). Ok for warming stuff. I DON’T recommend La Nordica products. Peace🙏

[@LorisHartland]

This stove can heat up to 1400-1900 sq feet. My home is 1900 and it gets toasty. I cook and bake on it exclusively all winter. Its a great stove. I cant speak for other lanordica stoves but this one is a gem!

Great upgrade on the stove, sorry to not have been leaving any comments. But, I had been dealing with severe chronic nerve pain in one of my legs.

I order to get rid of the pain and to walk again with a prosthetic leg. But now I can’t wait for the 29th of this month to have it done!

Fresh bread. Yummy! Love the stove ❤

[@tommychew6544]

This episode reminded me of when my Mom would make homemade rolls and tell us we couldn't run in the kitchen out the back door while they were settling back in the 70's. Those rolls were so good I wish I knew how to make them; it was a receipt she was taught by my grandmother. Likely similar only smallish balls of dough placed in the pan in a grid pattern, four across in the standard sized pan, put a little butter on those and you knew what bread was meant to taste like! Already watch the Shawn James episode so I'll leave this one to the cook stove side of things. Looks like a great choice.

[@BarlowRootsHomestead]

You will love it! We looked at the Nordica stoves a lot but decided to go with the Regina cookstove. It’s super versatile and heats our house wonderfully. Congrats!
