Installing a Wood Cookstove in the Outdoor Kitchen at my Off Grid Log Cabin

[@jenniferpatt4355]

It is just so amazing to watch someone with this level of skill, in the middle of a forrest without a big box store 20 minutes away, it is absolutely beautiful artful design and also practical and efficient, what a mind Shawn has!

[@hdrvman]

Wow.....we've had a Heartland Oval in our home since 2003 !!! The previous owner had it installed for "Y2K" and never used it....we bought it for $500.00 !!! It came with coal grates , water manifold and attached copper water reservoir !!!! We absolutely love it !!!!

[@damogranheart5521]

At $500, it's a great bargain 👌 WOW

[@scrappyquilter102]

$500 - you STOLE IT! Well done!

[@dcranch4820]

That cook stove was a excellent find! It really looks good in your outdoor kitchen! The outdoor kitchen build really blends nicely with your cabin. Cant think of anything that would make your builds look better!!!

Just wait till he gets the extra bedroom done and indoor outhouse done I think this is where Shawn intends to stay awhile. . .

[@michellebershers]

There is a store in the US that specializes in this type of equipment. The Amish and menenite communities only use wood fired stoves to cook on. All of their tools are hand operated. Old time butter churns, slicers , milkcans, lanterns ,etc.

[@toolkit71]

We have that same stove/oven at our families cottage....amazing thing that is almost 100 years old...even has a bread proofed, my grandparents and great aunts would cook on that for a party of 25 sometimes….very well built

That's quite a stove, Shawn ! It's a real gem, even got a bread proofer on it ! Looks like something right out of the 1930s or 40s ❤ My Great Grandmother had a stove like this ! I remember when I was 4 yr old we went to her farm. She cooked up a storm for us for Christmas. cooked us Cakes, cookies, bread, pies, turkey, and a bunch more ! took us at least an hr to get in the door because she had the stove going all day. It froze the doors shut from frozen ice. Took 4 big strong men to open the door ! Must have been -20c that night ! But man, oh man, it was worth it when we sat down to eat 😂 The farm has been sold now, and they built Ottawa Airport there ! 😢 But that old stove had some stories behind it ❤ Mike.

[@dorothyallen3614]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful memories of your journey and your precious family time together, nothing could ever replace those very special times together ❤, much love and happiness to all.

[@arthenry498]

OOooo, the stove brings back memories. We had a kitchen stove much like that. It was a Kalamazoo of much the same design. It got retired in the early 60's. It cooked a lot of meals, canned a lot of food, and baked a lot of bread, and made a million memories. Thanks for waking them up for me. I did have some sweat watching you with those guillotine sheets of tin again. Noticed the safety rope too Shawn, SMART!! That is looking REALLY good now. Where is the orangutan in your linage that allows you to scramble the beams like that?? LOL Great video sir, thank you very much for educating us all. I thank you for all your work and effort here. I enjoy it all a heck of a lot.

[@Mulberrysmile]

I’d make some shutters from clear poly panels for the big openings….at least to the sides of that gorgeous wood stove to keep blowing rain and snow off of it. Plus, it can help extend the comfort for more of the year by reducing wind. The clear poly helps keep the nice open feeling and light.

[@dennisdavis8649]

My grandmother cooked on a stove like that all of her life. She had a big steel water tank that had pipes running through the back of her cooking stove. It heated the water for the whole house. Her life was kind of like Shawn Jame is making his life. She and my grandpa lived on a 100-acre farm in the mountains of western North Carolina. They didn't own a car or a television You either walked to town or rode the old gray horse that they plowed the fields with. I like your video, Shawn.

The farmhouse where I grew up, had a tin roof. There were 2 bedrooms and a huge open area upstairs. My brother and I shared one room and one bed, and our sister had the other smaller bedroom. To this day, I love to hear the rain hitting the aluminum gutters as I fall asleep, bringing back memories of that old farmhouse and rain on a tin roof.

Amazing, seems there is nothing that you are unable to do beautifully

[@jamiemoen-bi3gd]

My late grandfather was an antique dealer, he didn't have a store, more of a traveling antique entrepreneur! And one of his hottest items were old antique wood stoves and wood furnaces! He would restore them...I'm talking complete restorations! New nickel plating, paint every last minute detail! It's a very fond memory being with him and seeing these old stoves and furnaces become just as, if not more beautiful then when new! And not all, but most were sold to people that would actually put them back to their intended use. Some were bought for display/ art. Nevertheless, great memories and awesome pieces of our history! 🇨🇦🇺🇲💯✌

Nice stove Shawn! My grandmother had a wood cookstove very similar with firebox , overhead bread warmer, oven, 6 removable stovetop cast iron inserts 3 different sizes for cooking & cleaning. It also had a huge water heating cast iron water reservoir tank built to the right side of the oven to heat our water with. I’d love to have that stove now in the shape it was when I was growing up. But as all things greedy family members sold it as well as my grandmothers mountain home & her land after she passed.

Nice. I am a 70 year old man, but I remember that we use to rent a cabin for a week at a fishing resort in Colorado almost every year. I was shocked to see my mother cooking on a stove very similar to yours. She even baked a cake in the oven. I found out later that every one in my family grew up with that kind of stove. It's amazing what one generation to another can change everything. My wife probably has never even seen those stoves in use. All that I can say is that my moms breakfasts that she cooked at 9,500' elevation tasted wonderful. Loved the show and the memories. Take care. Vaughn

Hello Shawn. Big fan of your channel. My husband and I are living a similar lifestyle in Alaska. Just wanted to give you a trick to install metal roofing. We call it the Chris Razink method, since it was a colleague of ours from the State Parks who showed us this, we have been used it ever since on several houses and outbuildings. You screw a 2 by at the end of your roof rafters. On this, you screw another 2 by, but sticking up 2 inches higher than your base. You then created a ledge which you can use not only to install a ladder where the feet would rest on that ledge and you can stand on, but your metal roofing sheet as well, creating a perfect line up at the bottom and extending 1.5 inches passed the rafters. Will take pic tomorrow, worth a 1000 words. Keep up the good work and enjoy life.
