Is a wood burning stove too hot for a small room? Quadrafire Discovery review. EPA certified

First time lighting and using the Quadrafire Discovery 1
16x16 back room is it too hot?
Thoughts and short review on the epa stove
I’ve searched all over the internet to find if a wood stove would be too hot in a smaller area. Questions answered…. Finally

[@johnnorth9355]

The feeling of security being able to make your own heat irrespective of utilities is a real boon. As a Brit facing a cold winter you will know what I mean 🙂.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

Absolutely. Well said

[@smiley9872]

I know what you mean!

[@TIMSANDYSURF]

I’m in the U.K. and fitted a log burner for exactly that reason. I felt helpless without the ability to keep my family warm. Now the gas company can go whistle !

[@chipps1066]

Your video has given me some great ideas,I'm 60 and bought about 32 acres of property in S.Georgia.I plan on building a small cabin 2 maybe 3 rooms and you stove looks ideal for heating.I also like your flooring choice.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

Thank you very much. The flooring is slate with charcoal grout. 32 acres that’s amazing! I would love to purchase 10 acres and build a cabin with my sons. One day I hope. Thanks for the compliment!

[@OpenAirAdventure]

I hope you are successful with your build, hopefully I'll build mine in a few years also. Nice to have something to live for.

[@brianmckerrihan4910]

Looks great, I recommend a Trivet under the kettle so it doesn't boil over, and will still put humidity into the air. Also I definitely recommend switching the ceiling fan up instead of down, the heat settles at the ceiling so you want to move that air, you should see a pretty immediate change if the stove has been on for a while. remember to keep a couple inches of ash in the firebox to protect the bottom bricks and give the coals somewhere to hide overnight so you still have warm air for easy draw in the morning. Don't damper it down past halfway, even overnight, Burn the wood, don't smoke it.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

All great. I have a trivet for when I cook, I should use it for the kettle too! And yes I damp it all the way down when it’s raging, over the last month or so, I’ve been leaving it a little lower than half damper, been working well. I haven’t mastered the all night burn just yet but getting closer I think. Thanks for the comments!

[@vinman6714]

I wouldn't keep your guitar near the stove, maybe not in the same room. A wood stove will dry the air really fast, and the wood of the guitar will dry out too. Not an ideal environment for the guitar, which needs 40 to 60 % humidity. Having a pot of water on the stove is a nice idea, but in winter, that is not nearly enough. A good humidifier will also make the room feel more comfortable.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

You are right, I shouldn’t have it there. I’ve had that guitar for 25 years. I used to be in bands back in the day. I should know better. Thanks Vin

[@Hi-levels]

Tips : top down burning method is amazing. Never use wet woods. Have good insulation (double glassed windows are amazing).

[@aronmcinnes8313]

I had installed the Quadra Fire 3100 Limited series, the version before this model. We moved to an acreage and we need a wood stove here. I am going to install a Discovery model as I like the taller stove top. I have cooked on it several times. We have -40 temperatures where I live and the stove would keep us warm.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

So far I’m very happy with the unit. It’s good looking too. Easy to cook on as well.

[@safffff1000]

Taking a brush and light brushing of the converter is so easy every now and then(weeks apart). My Blaze King you set the auto damper and it holds the temp you set for the next 14hrs and more, while saving cords of wood

[@Fatguyintheforest]

I’ve heard good things about blaze King when I was researching stoves. No way will this stove get even near that.

[@Icutmetal]

You have a great setup there with a beautiful view!

[@trcass1]

good video. i've burned wood for almost 30 years. you did a great job. i put an additional damper in my stove pipe to control the burn a little more and to keep the heat in the box a little longer. not called for but a lot of the long time wood burners have them. also helps to shut it down in case it overfires. i have a little Jotul F3CB I've had about 15 years. Good little stove also. wish i had a little more room up top to do some cooking if need be. enjoy your stove.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

Thanks very much! I’ve heard a lot of recommendations for Jotul. Enjoying using the quadrafire so far. Thanks for watching and stay warm!

[@OpenAirAdventure]

You made a great choice with a wood stove. You were worried about the heat and the small room, I got a wood stove in a 8×10 cabin and I'm sure I would die if the door wasn't open.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

I absolutely love a wood stove. I could stare at it all day. I’ve slept back there, definitely a hot mess. But it’s wonderful. Thanks for the comment!

[@WG1807]

To check for an air leak around the door, or elsewhere, take a cigarette lighter (or your fire-lighting device) and pass it slowly around the perimeter of the door and anywhere else you suspect and if there is an air-draw you will see the steady flame of your device being drawn inwards where any gap might be. To clean the glass where necessary, take a double-sheet of newspaper and scrunch it up into ball, or a type of scouring pad with a smooth side. Have a bucket with a couple of inches of water in it. Warm water is good, but cold will work fine too. Quickly dip the surface of your newspaper pad into the water. Don't get it too saturated that the paper will begin to disintegrate. Then dip the wet side of the paper into the wood ash in your ash pan. Rub away at the glass and it will remove deposits very nicely, even hardened-on black stuff if you persist (doesn't take too long). You might need more than one paper pad, depending how much muck there is to remove. When all the baked on dirt is removed, take another paper pad and just use it with the water alone to remove any dirty streaks. Then dry the glass with a couple of dry paper pads and perhaps an old cloth to get it visibly dry. Leave the door open for ten minutes or so to ensure the glass is properly dry before starting a fire. If there is any residual dampness on the glass it can attract the dirty smoke and stain again quite quickly, although not usually badly. If you have a good supply of secondary air washing over the glass, all the above should be minimal, but eventually you can expect to do a little cleaning maintenance now and then. Simple fogging or a mild haze on the glass might not need the full water and ash treatment. Try it with just warm water on a dampened cloth.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

Thanks for all the tips. I will try the lighter trick definitely. For cleaning the glass so far I’ve used a paper towel, couple squirts of windex and a dip in ash, comes off fairly easily.

[@EFTTappingwithHeatherAmbler]

With practice and experience, you'll be about to get it to burn all night. Using big rounds instead of split wood helps a lot. Great video. Thanks!

Nothing beats the feel of wood heat. A ceiling fan can spread it around in any direction. I've moved on to a rocket heater but we miss seeing the fire that lit up the room. A different animal.

I could watch the fire all day if I could. Something about it! Thanks for watching. Stay warm out there

[@erikferm5421]

Nice video, there is nothing like a wood-stove . With a wood stove and a supply of firewood you are free from the crazy prices now on electricity and gas. I also have fan on top of the stove, it really helps. In Sweden we prefer birch wood , I think it is the best but of course I use what I can source, birch, pine and spruce mostly. What do you use for fire wood ? Greetings from Sweden.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

We are entirely electric heat so the stove fits the bill nicely. If the power goes down, we are covered now. I burn with oak mainly most readily available. I have some cherry for when I smoke food same with a little maple. The cherry absolutely smells amazing outside. Just hard to come by. I will have to find birch, I know it’s out here. Thanks for the comment and enjoy the upcoming season.

[@beckymerry2209]

If you put some ashes on top of the last log of the night , it will keep the embers hot so it’s easy to get it going again in the morning

[@erikferm5421]

Another tip, never use the fire for too many hours, we use to say burn for 4 hours, let it rest for 4 hours. It depends on how your chimney is located. A steel chimney with insulation of course, can dry out the wood in the attic if it is close enough. It can be so dry that it can self ignite, this has happended. If the chimney is made of bricks and cement it much cooler of course..But always check the chimney and the attic.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

Thanks for the tip. It’s a double insulated pipe going straight through the roof vaulted ceiling. I want to try to get the fire go all night but I’m afraid i will load up the fire box and it will get too hot.

[@boldibbb]

If u have to let it cool you installed incorrectly. Using only for 4hrs makes no sense. No stove is designed for only 4hrs of use. What r u talking about

[@rhinomite5203]

@@boldibbb Agree 100%, if it was installed correctly and with the correct stove pipe, you should be able to burn non stop from october to march except for ash removal

[@Icutmetal]

If you’re having to let your stove cool off for as long as you’ve used it, you’ve done something wrong.

[@lamarwilliams185]

You should do an up date on weather it is okay to have a big wood stove in a small living space. Older stoves did not have to burn hot. This epa approved stove needs a hot fire for secondary combustion or their should be a lot of soot. I did read your comment about the overnight burn. What was the outcome. Make a video. Just like this. With the temperature outside and inside. If the whole house was warm. Type of wood. Green or seasoned. I know you use seasoned. Details are everything. Even when you no longer felt the heat from the stove. How close you had to stand next to the stove to feel the heat before you relit it. Good job!!!

[@Fatguyintheforest]

We have a blizzard and teen weather coming up. Be a good test

[@Sylvan_dB]

It looks like you have a vaulted ceiling in there and in the next room. If so, and it is an open truss inside that dividing wall above the door, opening a vent between the rooms would help a lot. Heat rises, so it is filling the room from the top down. You may even be able to feel it warmer at head level and flowing thru the doorway into the next room. A box fan in the vent will move even more warm air into the next room, while being up out of the way. The ceiling fan helps, and may be enough if there is more flow up high between the rooms. Nice stove. I like the quadrafire stoves. I had one at my last place and now have one of their pellet stoves. It is okay, but there is nothing like a real wood stove.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

Vaulted in the back, non vaulted in the house but you are right, I might install a in wall fan just above the slider door, one annoying thing though fans are very loud. I need to find a quiet variant. Pellet I went back and forth with that, I definitely enjoy the Wood stove. Rustic and almost primal. Thanks for the comment

[@jandblawncare8570]

We just put a Lopi Rockport in a few weeks ago and love it. Ours is in our small living room (maybe 12x26) and it gets warm but so far we've learned to get it to temp. (500F so the catalytic converter is hot) with a couple good sized pieces and then closed up everything once it gets going good and just throw a log on when it burns down to a very small flame or even embers. We can keep it around 72-75 doing this and so far it hasn't been uncomfortably hot and a bonus in our case is the heat reaches the top of the steps at the 2nd floor and stops so the bedrooms stay around 66-68F. Ours said a 10 hour burn time....I dont think so lol we put 3-4 good pieces in when we first installed (after the burn in fires) and we might have gotten 8 hours but then it's so hot it's very uncomfortable. We usually stop putting wood in around 7-8pm, maybe 9pm so our furnace can come on a couple times over night to keep our basement from becoming an icebox and it kicks on around 430am set at 68F. I think everybody with a wood stove has one of those little fans but I think they're useless, I don't feel any air movement from it. Lastly, if you have a good stove and the right piping you can burn continuously, I wouldn't keep it an inferno for hours on end but burn as much as you need to thats what they're for. Oh, and those hot spot stains are normal, I just take a wet paper towel dip it in the ash and it comes right off then a clean towel to wipe off the residue and comes out crystal clear for a few more fires.

[@Fatguyintheforest]

Lopi was my pick for the stove to buy but I went with the quadrafire. I liked the features of it. I’ve had it burning all day. First snowfall today about 34 degrees outside, it’s 72 in the house, about 87 in the back room. No heat on at all besides the stove. Our bedrooms I’d have to check but feels a little cooler which is perfect for sleeping. I have a large ash bed at this point, I’m hoping to make it through the night. Sounds like you run your stove probably the same as I. Start it, get it hot, I add wood when the flame goes out Or just about. Enjoy the season and thanks for the comment!

[@beckymerry2209]

Try cooking a stew or casserole on the top . The heat will soon circulate around the rest of the house . Open the glass doors fully to allow this

In it! Just posted a video Chicken Cacciatore. It’s Stew-ish.

[@dianehall5345]

We are wood burners from the 1970s. Presently we have two stoves in our 988 square foot home. The large airtight that is similar to yours, is situated in the full cellar. The heat " chimneys" up the central staircase. Then we have a vintage 1930 Home Comfort kitchen wood stove in our open concept main living area. I had it going today. I just feed the fire box to barely keep it going. We will build a three seasons porch off the kitchen door, where excess heat will be directed. I suggest a simple closed porch to take advantage of your BTUs. I open screens to regulate a too hot fire until our porch is built. ~ Diane

[@Fatguyintheforest]

I’m new to stoves, but from what I’ve researched is that older stoves work wonderfully. That some feel newer EPA stoves aren’t as good. Time will tell. Yes sometimes we open the window to get the heat out. Had it up to 90 the other day. Was too much. I’m looking forward to seeing what this will do in the middle of winter. Thanks for the comment Diane. All the best

[@dianehall5345]

You have the right idea, just maybe too much stove for your space, unless you add a bit more square footage. We are farmers in New Hampshire on our 350 acre working farm. If I were to have a smaller cottage, I would purchase an Irish Stanley airtight kitchen wood stove. They are smaller, with a hot water jacket. You can heat your house, hot water, cook and bake. Or the smaller model Amish airtight Kitchen Queen. I teach sustainability when I have the time, mostly rural NH lifestyles from 1920 to 1940 - off grid, but also HYBRID living. This is what we are currently doing today, on our farm. We use electricity and propane while it is still cost effective and available. Enjoy your adventure! ~ Diane

[@beckymerry2209]

Also have a separate stand for the kettle once it’s boiled or it will dry and burn out . Yes move the guitar to another room until you wish to play it , the heat will cause damage . Wow what an awesome view . Lake Placid comes to mind , don’t you be feeding them gators lol

I’ve tried many different things to get it to go longer. Best I’ve got was hot ash in the morning, and adding wood to get it going again. Closed down all the way, outside air off. It does get too hot if loaded all the way. 6 hours is about it. 8 hours is pushing it to relight without help. I guess it’s a trade off between catalytic and 2nd burn tubes. As far as my back room, it’s entirely too hot in there when trying to heat the house. However we haven’t turned the electric heat on yet so it’s a win

@@AnX8765 when you research about the process of making photoelectric solar panels and that the panels have limited uses then you will start realize that you might as well burn the fuel that created the panels in the first place. Photoelectric salor panels are kind of a scam. They advertise as some off-grid source of energy you can live on and a lot cleaner then burning.

If you leave a Guitar beside a wood stove, it proofs that you don't know anything about the wood heat.

Your stove is to close to the wall

[@Fatguyintheforest]

Double insulated stove pipe, and this particular stove has a heat shield in the back where it can be closer then some others. It’s within manufacturer specs. If I put my hand in the back, it’s not hot

[@carlgray523]

@@Fatguyintheforest nice! What's the make?

[@Fatguyintheforest]

Quadrafire discovery 1. It’s one of the reasons I liked it. Didn’t need a heat surround on the wall
