Thanks for stopping by our off grid cabin build channel. We recently moved from the city with all of its conveniences to the middle of the forest near Sandpoint, Idaho. On our channel, we are sharing our journey from grid life to an off-grid homesteading life. We are starting from scratch on bare land. I hope you will come and join us on this journey as we build our off grid cabin and establish our homestead. You can learn more about our story here (link to video)

Don't stress all the negative comments,I'm from West Virginia and all the old timers got wood burners for heat around hear ,but yeah I'd say forget them instructions and get a damper control on the pipe a foot or so above the stove n just tinker with it until you get it to where you like it it'll definitely save you from burnin' up yer wood to fast and put out more heat fer y'all,man y'all's videos are great and very detailed and helpful for future ideas that I'll definitely be using when I'll sell my property n get my land up in the hills n get back in the woods,man yer solar system videos probably just saved my family alot of trouble by you showin' the brands n stuff thank ya so much!!!! I believe y'all got the very best off grid videos I've found,yeah we're tired of the bills every month to the power companies!!! Now ya just need a mountain cur dog n yer set!!! Hahaaah jk.-dustin

[@rogermontee8264]

In my opinion Selkirk is the best stove pipe there is. Nice wood stove installation looks very professional. Thanks for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍

[@MrKylebeard]

O Brother Where Art Thou! Great movie. Love seeing the house come together. It's getting close!

[@juliejohnson9531]

[@NorthCountryOffgrid]

You’re close to that first fire guys!!! Pretty cool moment for a family 👍🏻

[@juliejohnson9531]

North Country Off Grid Thanks! 😃

[@annamaybeekman5152]

Congrats. It muct give you great comfort and peace of mind knowing you all will be warm and toasty for the up coming winter season... God is so good. I am very happy for you all

[@TWiGsADV707]

REALLY wished we would have started our homestead when our kids were younger... instead of now that they are all grown up!! Not only the building of self responsibility, the pride in building, and respect for the home they helped make, but also the amazing memories these days will bring to them and you guys as parents. :)

[@oldfart5127]

Very happy to see you getting a wood stove in place. This will make your winter more bearable. You all are a joy to watch. God Bless

[@manolisgledsodakis873]

Where I live we have to put that telescopic section the other way up so that condensates can't seep out and run down the outside of the pipe.

[@garyballard3484]

That's what I was thinking. I'm trying to connect my stove pipe to the chimney pipe and can't figure how to do it without crimping the chimney pipe.But if I could put it like he did it would be easier but according to the specs I can't do it like he did.

[@abbatemarco]

I like this guy

[@jameskennedy9655]

Hey mom and dad you are amazing ❤️. Yep your children, amazing! I am so thankful for you and your children's first day in your beautiful house. I'm Older now but my most cherished memories, my parents making available my young labor. Then and even more now I loved it!

[@juliejohnson9531]

Bob Joncas thanks! 😃

[@byronk1987]

Fwi to those who know best, read deeper into the comments and see your demand for a stove pipe dampener is obsolete. New stoves are very efficient at burning wood gas and capturing heat. The flame does not just shoot up the pipe, it's forced to go around and through tubes or catalytic type converters. Also the interior double wall is not upside down! Good on this family for being so polite to the know it all keyboard warriors.

Thanks for the video...was one of the ones that describe most of the installation...excluding the how to seal it on the roof part...

[@KoalityofLife]

Nice. You have heat! Stay warm guys. :)

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

I'm very happy for you!

[@drmoynihan]

This video has been so helpful!!! We have chosen the Englander 2000 for our Cabin and considered doing the chimney ourselves. You have convinced me to hire it done!!! Not because I couldn't, but because at 69yrs, I shouldn't. LOL :) I used to do so much of my own building and remodeling, and still do a lot, but I am discovering my limits and want to preserve my body for mountain biking, hiking, hunting, and playing with my best friend/wife & the Grandchildren. Thank you so much for all your help as I know how it should be done when hiring it out!

[@Jriad]

I'd love to spent Christmas Eve in a place like that i'll add to my bucket list

[@vansage2691]

Water-check; heat-check; windows and doors - next on the to do. Looks like there is enough room on that fire box for a cast iron skillet or Dutch oven with some chili or stew cooking while you work

[@juliejohnson9531]

Van Sage sounds good! You got it! 😃

[@HMSSfrigate12]

I recently read an article to put the kindling in your stove and then put the paper etc on top of the wood and light the paper I tried it in a cook stove and by golly it worked.

[@PaullaWells]

Yay! You have heat! Now you just need windows and doors. LOL

[@juliejohnson9531]

Paulla Wells for sure! So true! 😃

[@MarkdWallis]

good job Marty!

[@briniball1066]

Great video. Thanks.

[@itsheri9518]

That was incredible sir!

[@HousewifeInTheWoods]

Gajhhhh! So excited to see a video from you guys ♡ just love your journey

[@Melicoy]

Congratulation on the pass for the next inspection L:)

[@paulrobertson8686]

Great job on the wood stove Martin, and good work done by Sarah and Seth. Great family, all four!

[@BubbahotepEagle]

Good job, I talked to people on installing the pipe and they advised to install it with the male end facing down,,reason if creosote builds up in the pipe with the male in facing toward the ceiling it will seep out of the pipe at the connections with the male end facing down it will just go into the stove where it will be burnt, im no expert by far but thats what I was advised, good video though, thanks

[@TheBeggFamily]

Great progress, well done! Wood stove will keep you nice and warm and hopefully prevent your toilet freezing up!

[@bobnieves8967]

Hi, You guys did a great job.

[@NatureNikNik]

I love this video. Thank you for the info. I like to learn about this kind of stuff, which I have found not a lot of people talk about the specs behind things and why you need whatever it is.

[@ronald295]

Best family, How wonderful to see you build a house with the whole family. Good to see how the children are involved in this project. A little note about the wood burning stove. It is not better to remove the stickers from the pipe. If the pipe gets a little warm, the glue might melt a little. This is then very difficult to remove. Here in the Netherlands the winter also starts a bit. The temperature is around 4 degrees Celsius. good luck with your great project! Greetings from Haarlem the Netherlands. Ronald

[@mocimuci4692]

Can't wait till the house get done, I am pretty sure your subscriber will jump up quick.. hopefully get the shower and toilet installed soon then kitchen.. seems like the temperature there not that cold today, same here in Chicago getting up to upper 40s by next week, good luck and stay warm.. love you guys, been watching you for years !

[@konakona997]

Good Job !!!

[@abubakarabdullah7148]

You are good at what you are doing. Passed inspection.

[@farmlifeoffgrid]

We used selkirk, best pipe you can get. I've had the stove too hot a couple times and still could touch the pipe. , I highly recommend looking into a spinning or windproof cowl chimney cap, it will save you the headache of backdrafts

[@raffiboutchakjian4201]

Congratulations - مبروك - Շնորհաւոր Ըլլայ - for the stove and may the Lord bless you and Keep You. keep warm and always smiling :) - by the way, kids watch your back when using the shovel, always use your legs to pull the wait and not your back, keep safe.

[@jimcub22]

When it rains your going to get water dripping in around that 2” gap up top, I remember seeing an orange gasket that may be for that but there will be a metal cover to over that.

[@thomasduin2746]

The metal roof need to go on first.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Absolutely! 😃

[@462ANIMAL]

I like it , those insulated chimney sections look much better than the ones I’m working with now. I wish I opened the box in the store. I’m using Sentinel 6”. Selkirk. But they don’t twist together.. clamp only. I have to call the manufacturer and ask them about the gap I can see up through the chimney, I can see the insulation where the sections meet.. kinda seems like junk, like the chimney sweeper will catch it.

[@craigs5212]

We have fire!!! I have a similar looking flue cap, on my cap the expanded metal goes on the inside of the lip of the very top cap plate, same on the bottom ring. This hides the top and bottom edges of the screen and holds it captive. One thing you may want to do is to get some sheet metal or stiff wire and make a spacer bracket to keep the pipe centered in the roof cutout hole. This will keep the pipe centered when you start to install the metal roof and can't see the clearance anymore. Mount to the underside of the roof deck so it doesn't get in the way. You would hate to get a roof panel installed only to discover the pipe shifted by an inch or so and your clearance has gone to zero.

[@scifycartoon]

T he sparks arrester prevents also birds form going inside the pipe!

[@niveknospmoht8743]

Before you get too carried away, you may want to consider moving the stove onto a platform thus raising it off the floor some. That way you can put drawers underneath for kindling, gloves, matches etc.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Nivek Nospmoht thanks. Might get to do that next season. Just don’t have enough time right now. 😃

[@JerichoRally]

Can someone say fire hazard

[@scottwolfe3333]

Heat , yeah!

[@darrenstibbard6773]

Looks great. In our area (central Canada) our code requires the top of the chimney to be 4 ft away from the roof line. Challenge is it makes a lot of laterally unsupported chimney. So we use braces for lateral support anchor it to the roof. We get high winds and a lot of snow and it can dislodge the chimney. Might be something to consider for yours too. Looks great though. Glad your doing it right!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

It is coming.

[@HousewifeInTheWoods]

Ty so much for the list, I wanna redo our pipe system and I really love this.... ty

[@mmanut]

Those pipes need to be twisted together harder than you showed on the video. There is a satisfying lock feeling when done right. This is important. Some people put high heat caulk in this joint just to make sure no smoke or gas gets thru. Do this connection right. GOOD LUCK. VINNY 🇺🇸. PS, you didn't install a damper on the first section of pipe above the stove. Controls the burn.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

What brand pipe are you talking about?

[@joechase1713]

A damper is kind of universal, but it may be built into your stove so there is no need to put one in the pipe. Our stove has the damper built in. I am a bit worried that you don't have any flashing (even just temporary) on your chimney, when you get snow on your roof, you will have a big mess with the water coming in. I would suggest Ice & water shield (or maybe aluminum flashing) and silicone caulk for the time being. just nail some temporary 2x4 cleats to the roof so you can safely get on the roof to close up that hole, you can remove the 2x4's when you do the metal roof.

[@joechase1713]

Patrick, you're probably right, I've only bought 2 woodstoves in the last 40 years, they both had dampers, but by todays standard they are probably considered dinosaurs, lol.... anyway I don't replace stoves very often, do you? .... Hahaha

[@monicapttrsn]

Excellent video!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Thanks.

[@JerichoRally]

If you want to save a few dollars, use the galvanized class a pipe in the attic. Use the expensive stainless steel for outside.

[@Possumcods]

10:45 O Brother, Where art thou?

[@mikedog9746]

I dont know much about wood stoves but I believe your missing the fire dapper about the stove to slow the burn down and to help keep some of that heat!! I would look into it if i were you. Love all the hard work the kids are doing!!

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Thanks! The instructions say, “DO NOT install a flue damper” see page 12 and 28 pdf.lowes.com/useandcareguides/794909503068_use.pdf

[@marcuslee5549]

Hahaha. Wife makes good joke. "Are you in a tight spot ". Hahaha

[@michaelrobertson7397]

Great video, with good instructions, but where is the work on the roof? That is the part that I was really wanting to view and learn from.

[@FortressOfTheWolfMoon]

We used the exact same wrap on one of my cabins. Lol lil polar bear.

[@oldtimeengineer26]

I hope you put the waterproof seal on the top of the roof to seal the 2 inch space

[@ropeman3916]

Nice job sliding the pipe with the cap on it through the roof but, how did you put the exit flashing and storm collar on without getting on the roof and taking the cap off? That I really want to see!

[@robertucher2968]

Looks like you have the pipes upside down. Check the labels, there should be an arrow indicating flow direction.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

The are double wall and installed right. The inner pipe opposite the outer.

[@ModernMountainLiving]

2:04 Yep, It' time for that wood stove to be put to good use. Oh Brother. Marty, just a thought: this may sound backward on the stove pipe connections. Female side should be on the bottom so the creosote doesn't run out and down outside of the pipe, and like the snow breaking off the vent pipe there is a sheetmetal wedge between the ridge and the pipe to divert the snow weight. Congrats

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

We installed them according to the instructions. I think you might be thinking of single wall.

[@ModernMountainLiving]

@@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving Yep

[@copperwolf9195]

O brother where art thou

[@ohske]

Good morning

[@dgr8t1]

build yourself a log grate to get better airflow and efficient burn

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

It says not to in the manual.

[@cherilcooper289]

Is it keeping the cabin warm now guy's?👍👍🙏🙏🐸🐸💯💯💖

[@raymondmills9377]

Where art thou brother...staring the soggy bottom boys

[@billwheawill6544]

on my friends house his stove has a fresh air for combustion pipe. so as not to burn heated inside air. Seams important for new type sealed construction houses. Some thing to think about to see if you can add it to your stove or if it has that option. some stoves use a triple wall stove pipe with one inside for combustion air from outside. these are the one with the two stage pipe cap.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

We will have fresh air intake and installed it according the the instructions.

[@edwardedling216]

You got your black pipe upside down.Male end gos down

[@jackpatteeuw9244]

I was always told that stove pipes should be installed with the tapered (crimped) end down. This way and condensation on the inside of the pipe has a overlapping path all the way to the stove. With the crimp up, condensation could seep between the upper pipe and the crimp and run down the outside of the pipe.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

That is for single wall pipe. This is double wall.

[@IANREA]

When are you going to do the roof, and make it all water, weather proof.

[@juliejohnson9531]

Ian Rea soon, very soon! 😊

[@akwolf1434]

Will still have to take the chimney back apart in order to put the roofing on. In the meantime you are going to get moisture inside the cabin from the 2" gap left open for the stove pipe - hopefully it doesn't rain, but condensation on the roof will still cause dripping. Also, did not see a dampener on your stove pipe leaving the stove.

[@sandravanlankvelt7975]

I am surprised the stove pipe isn't triple wall pipe in the house wow. What are you putting on the wall behind the stove? I used to work for a fireplace company and had a wood burning stove installed in our family room. We ha brick and concrete installed on the wall and the floor at that time. I hope that a railing is installed by the stairs next to the fireplace. If someone accidently trips on the stairs more than likely the fireplace could be a target. It's looking like a home with heat and a beautiful JOB all. God bless.

[@donviar1217]

Don't forget to leave room for your drywall in all of your calculations.

[@genegoodman5233]

When I put a wood stove in my shop I build an insulated pipe to go through the roof. Know what I put inside the 2 pipes, pink fiberglass insulation it doesn't burn, still there after 25 years. I don't understand pull the paper off, works great, but you have to make him happy.

[@FortressOfTheWolfMoon]

You kinda look like Tom segura and I find myself just waiting for jokes lol

[@Melicoy]

Pull out the marshmallows !!!!

[@bdrbadar6406]

Nice bisnis so many people looking for bisnis conection good luck sir

[@abubakarabdullah7148]

And keep smiling

[@michaeldvorak5556]

I hope you left room for drywall install.

[@jerrypruitt7432]

didnt see a damper in the pipe. i think thats a important part of wood burning. keeps your heat from escaping.

[@rsy427]

Best to use a laser pointer and level

[@mr.greenjeans8323]

You didn't show the installation of the rain guard the last thing you showed was a 2 inche opening around the pipe and roof..but you did a excellent job I think I can now do it on my own..i know the inspections are for everyone's safety but I'm trying my best to find a location state county ECT...that has fewer permits and codes I want it to be safe and correct I wouldn't want to get burnt up or whatever..texas or Oklahoma are where I'm leaning more towards as of now north Carolina is a option as well

[@angkaasli]

Congratulations on the inspection ! Anyway, what happen to your finger? It is bandaged.

[@johnscuderi271]

Marty are you going to put a roof brace on to hold the stove pipe. You may need one.

[@solehudinnurwahid]

Ada_Pemadam_Api?

[@Bart12349]

Why didn't you cut the hole from the top down? I find it easier to get on the roof.

[@northernliving2387]

My dad ran tubing to our wood stove to heat the water in the water heater during the winter.. I just throwing out Idea.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Cool idea.

[@selador11]

Been subscribed a while now. You guys are fast becoming my favorite channel. One thing... When you installed the silver pipe, and the box. Did you notice how all the male sides to the pipes were down, and the female side was up? That's the way it is supposed to be. It looks, though, like you installed the black pipe with the male side up. That is wrong. The reason for this, is because if you get ceostote in the pipes, when it runs down the inside of the pipe, with the male side up... it will run through the crack there, and down the outside of the pipe. Aside from it being ugly.... If there is ever a creosote fire, that will bring the flames right inside the house, in a hurry. If indeed the black pipe is installed male side up, I am surprised you passed an inspection. It is not to code, that way. For the reasons I stated.

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Many people have been confused by that. From the manufacturer "The orientation of all chimney connector components must be with the crimped end (outer black pipe) pointing up, towards the chimney? This is double wall pipe. The inner pipe is as you described. here is a link if you are interested selkirkcorp.com/-/media/selkirk/reference-documents/common/file/installation/stove-pipe/double-wall-stove-pipe-dsp/double-wall-stove-pipe-dsp.pdf

[@denisricher1349]

Martin, Hopefully you will not get smoke downdraft thru the roof hole since you do not have the pipe flashing installed...

[@MrZippitydo]

was wondering why you did not put a damper on it? I have never seen one without

[@MartinJohnsonOffGridLiving]

Thanks! The instructions say, “DO NOT install a flue damper” see page 12 and 28 pdf.lowes.com/useandcareguides/794909503068_use.pdf

[@estellaknox4488]

Be careful martin saw dust get in your eyes, put your safety glasses on safety Sally didn't see that she would have been angry ,I like the heater ,they keep the house toasty I have to open my window at time God bless.
