My father always mentioned his mother used to bake beans all night on the back of a cast iron stove. He died in 1958 so it is another memory you have brought back to me.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

My mother made beans frequently but my maternal Grand Mother baked beans every Friday night.

[@catyear75]

Something about these videos is so soothing and relaxing..... Thank you for posting them

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+catyear75 Thank you very much glad you enjoy them.

his voice. several times i was hypnotized and ended up quitting my job. ((

[@hopeandgracetompkins3707]

I agree. I started watching this to see the stove. And now I completely forgot my agenda☺️

[@hopeandgracetompkins3707]

You are lovely. I almost cried when you turned the fried dough over. It looked exactly like my mom's. God Bless and your family. I thank God for seeing your video come up on U tube. Amen

[@_S-O-S_]

My mouth is watering... I enjoy your sweet videos... Such a respite from a crazy world...

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

***** Thank you .

[@Gran2023]

A respite from a crazy world indeed. Thank you.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Love the big bunch of fresh herbs. I have an old pot belly stove I removed from my first house years ago and we use it now in the backyard mainly as an ornamental piece but it could be used for cooking - I should fire it up again! The peas and fried bread looks amazing - well done Dale. :)

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Self Sufficient Me Thank you. It's a great time of year back to using fresh herbs no more of the dried stuff for the next few months.

[@crybabyann9532]

Thank you Dale! it's always refreshing to visit your channel.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

crybaby ann Thank you Ann.

[@dianehall5345]

Jotul is a fine stove.Had one years back.Cooking surface is great. I planted two sprouted yellow onions last season and got the most amazing flower spikes! Everyone asked me about the exotic flowers.I can appreciate why you built your cabin. It is a Zen like retreat, right in your back garden. Gram taught me to farm cook. When I asked her for the recipe, she said it was in her head and to pay attention. You would enjoy the Lehman's Home Comfort kitchen woodstove cook book. It is an original reproduction 1930 recipe book/no oven temps! It helped me to restore our 1930 kitchen wood stove, as I never saw a Home Comfort in NH before! Our farm has a Glenwood stove. Thanks for the cooking lesson!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

I agree Diane I just love this stove. I went to Lehmans and looked at the cook books but didn't see one by that title.

[@dooowop]

Really enjoyed the update Dale, glad you're liking your new stove- I have really enjoyed watching the evolution of your cabin/ garden over the years.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Stephen C Thank you Stephen. The new stove is great.

[@tontowilliams]

Great to see you've got your new stove, looks good, and looks like it cooks a great meal too!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

***** Thank you Alan I think I will really enjoy the stove next winter.

[@goodguy1384]

Dale thank for the time an effort you put into your videos. It's a great change of pace from the everyday news. Thanks for all you do.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you so much for the kind words.

[@lenorawestwoodson5710]

I enjoy your videos so much. I love the seasons of Winter and Fall especially, your vlogs really bring quiet, woodland living dreams to life. Your cabin episodes are what I have long dreamed of, a life of peaceful solitude. Bless you for sharing.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Lenora I'm glad you are enjoying the videos.

[@GardeningWithPuppies]

You have become quite self-sufficient in that wonderful cabin of yours. I love the new addition and the meal you prepared looked divine.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Gardening With Puppies Thanks Paula every time I turn around I think of something else I can spend money on for the cabin LOL.

[@lonanakken1688]

Handwritten cookbook, a treasure! I have one of my grandmother's. Love to read her little notes and see her handwriting. Love to watch your videos. Thank you. Beans and bread look yummy.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Marcia Lawhorn Thank you Marcia glad you are enjoying the videos.

[@deborahbradshaw6370]

I have started watching your videos in the last few days and I have subscribed. I retired two years ago and as a widow I also live in solitude. Somewhat ashamed to admit that I enjoy it. But I have grandchildren close by that keep me busy some days. In September I have taking a cruise and we will be coming to the Bay of Fundy and I am enjoying your beach videos as I give me some idea of what I will see. I live in Southwest Texas 40 miles from the Mexican border so you can imagine how excited I am to see Canada.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Deborah you cruise will likely take you to Saint John, NB They get lots of cruise ships.

[@cat123456ist]

Very nice!! I thoroughly enjoyed everything!! Love the new stove, your beautiful pictures and the awesome food!! :-))

[@rickbsu]

I like the new stove also. Good that you are able to cook on it. It will really keep the cabin warm this winter during your overnight sleep overs. Thanks for sharing. Rick

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Rick's backyard garden Thanks Rick. I'm not wanting winter to return any time soon but the new stove is going to make winter camping in the cabin a lot more enjoyable.

[@didalangli4248]

I adore your lifestyle and watching you cook. Such a clean cook too. Simply beautiful. I could watch you all day, thank you for sharing with us.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you very much Dida.

[@jannalang7035]

We're contemplating purchasing the Jotul like yours. Thanks for the video! Love your tiny cabin!!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you it’s a great little stove.

[@Joseph03743]

I've watched lots of your videos, some over and over again lately on my ethernet TV. Your voice is relaxing and soothing and I admire someone who can seem so content with living alone in a desolate area. I like the food preparation videos the most. You seem t o have qualities about you that I wish I had more of. Thank you for your videos. I hope you're well these days. My parents had a Jotul wood stove. Back in the 70s Dad and I would go to our wood lot in Washington, NH to cut wood.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Joseph glad you are enjoying the videos .

[@garybsg]

love your stove and your videos are very calming

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

[@samraedeker8002]

A fun video to watch. Nice stove. Thank you Dale.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you it is a great little stove.

[@dragonflyneb]

Love the stove, I actually was taught to cook the way your cookbook reads by my grandmother and mother so now I have recipes which my daughter wants me to rewrite so she can understand and make some of them. Generations of recipes cooking made simple and few ingredients. Looks like I will have to try this one it looked so good. Thank You

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

dragonflyneb Thank you. I have one and use the microwave but I think it ruined a generation of cooks.

[@MsRegina333]

Thank you so much for sharing your food, cabin, art, and memories.... You bless more people than you know Dale. :) I loved the story of the cookbook "pamphlet". My family was very old when I was born and most of their stories I have forgotten. It is a lost art handing down family recipes since the internet came along. Bless you.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

MsRegina333 Thank you. When I was growing up my father always said if you can't find him just go look up the oldest people you can find and he will be there.

[@MsRegina333]

You have made my day! :)

[@snapcrack55]

There is beauty in the simplicity of it.

[@tonimactavish9937]

So enjoyed the video. Spent the day attending green skills classes in a neighboring town, medicinal herbs, seed saving, and edible landscapes, very informative. Still watching your videos and enjoying every one.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Toni MacTavish Thank you Toni. That sounds like a day that I would have really enjoyed too.

[@Discerningthetruth]

Your videos bring back good memories for me. My grandpa had a small 2 room cabin & when my Mom fell on hard times once, he took us in. He was hardly ever around & I can recall so vividly so many details of our stay there. Your black eyed peas recipe & that delicious looking fried bread are something I plan on trying really soon! I will use my cast iron Dutch Oven since I don't have a Potjie. Thanks for sharing these awesome videos. I have just discovered your channel recently & am enjoying watching!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you I'm glad youare enjoying the videon.

[@sgleaso]

Love your adventures!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Sherry.

[@russellmalone428]

The meal looked delicious. Julia would be proud! I've had the same modal Jotul stove for 4 years. It does a great job heating about 1000 sq ft home. We cook beans several times a winter in a dutch oven. Love the new art. Thanks

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Russell Malone Thank you I like that I can regulate it because the cabin is small so hopefully I will be able to control the heat better.

[@katokhaelan4881]

Outstanding video Dale. That food looks amazing!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Kato Khaelan Thank You.

[@danbev8542]

Dear Dale, thank you for your wonderful videos, for lugging your food ingredients out to the cabin, for sharing your great recipes & feasts. Your stove & poijie are beautiful! We also have a Jotul stove in our basement. Our tiny 25 year old Vermont Castings stove wore out! The Jotul is slightly bigger & heats up our cold basement a little better - and, like yours, it is beautiful. I am currently laid up with a broken ankle and so enjoy your videos! Thank you!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Sorry to hear about your ankle. I do love my Yotul stove.

[@meehan302]

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you it is available on Amazon.

[@lifeinthailand]

Nice looking stove, Baked beads and fresh bread, Can't go wrong with that.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

***** I just had beans on toast for breakfast. I love the little stove. Funny guy who sold it to me I was joking and made some comment about that's a lot of money for a very small stove and he said, "Yes we sell them by the ounce".

[@OneYardRevolution]

I love the new wood stove, Dale! The beans and fried dough look delicious.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

OneYardRevolution | Frugal & Sustainable Organic Gardening Thank you Patrick. I've been meaning to ask have you noticed when you harvest Good King Henry that there is a very fine grit on the under side of the leaves. Almost like sand but so small I can hardly see it. It rinses off when I was the greens and they taste great.

[@OneYardRevolution]

***** Yes, that's normal for Good King Henry, though I can't recall what causes it. My wife was avoiding eating it for a while because she thought it was dirty. I've seen the quality described as "mealy".

[@stevenedwards4470]

Prague must be an amazing trip. I've wanted to go there for a good long while now.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Yes it was a wonder trip such a beautiful old city.

[@jessieisjournaling2390]

How I wish I had a cabin like this! My wish list this year

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@azgridfree186]

Just received my Jotul from my supplier and will be transporting it up to my cabin real soon. (It's SO HEAVY!) I can't wait to get it set up, burned in and warming the cabin. I already have a potjie that I cook great northern beans and hamhocks on. After seeing this, I will be bringing up my potjie to accompany my Jotul! Great video Dale!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you . Good luck with your Jotul I'm sure you will love it.

[@EllieChristine744]

Norwegian Jøtul stoves are really good! We also have a 602 in our kitchen here in Sweden, and we will take it with us to our new house, that we are building now. Seeing that it is popular in Canada and the U.S. makes me kind of proud. Hope your Jøtul will serve you well for many years to come. Thank you for sharing the video with us!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

I love the stove and someone told me yesterday that they are being made over here now in Maine which should make them a bit cheaper.

[@EllieChristine744]

Nice - they sure are heavy, so good with local production.

[@ritawood9980]

What an honour to receive the hand written cookbook

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Rita.

[@trevorfillmore698]

Great video Dale two awesome recipes I love your potjie I bet its a dream the cook with and the recipe book you have I can remember the older ladies here all cooked with wood stoves when I was a kid I can remember my grandmother getting her first electric stove I was about 8 so she cooked on a wood stove till the 80s and it wasn't just here 4 or 5 of the ladies did the same.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

***** I was born in 1950 and I remember a lot of houses that still cooked on a wood stove. The island didn't even have electricity until after World War II I think around 1948. I know the house I grew up in was one of the first that was built with electricity already installed.

[@justusU]

***** I was born in 1950, and I cooked on a wood stove I was almost 18 years old in 1968. we lived in the country and it's just what my dad did because of the economy. I thought it was common to do this sort of thing and it was just natural for me to do it. I cooked many meals for my family, meaning my mom and dad and brothers and sisters, until I got married and moved away.

[@arttrombley7385]

Dale, I just purchased a woodstove used and am poking around KZbin for installation ideas. I too enjoyed the stories from the people born in the mid to late 1800's when I was a child, the stories about life before electricity and automobiles. One old-timer was a full blooded Indian that watched His parents murdered by Union soldiers. They renamed Him " Fortunate " Frank Dupuis, fortunate to be alive I suppose. He had terrific stories about life back then, so I can definitely relate to You and how You grew up. Thanks for sharing, Your fried dough looked very good. Peace to You always.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Art. Glad you are doing research before installing your stove my original stove cost around $200 and the installation chimney stove pipe and surround was close to $1500.00 but the one thing not to skimp on is safety. I had many conversations with the old folk and like a lot of people what I regret now is not recording them.

[@arttrombley7385]

Hello again Dale, I waited and waited for a good deal to come up on a local resale page on Facebook and ended up buying a Mohawk Tempwood 5 stove with pipes for $50, fortunately I'm a very patient person. It would have been awesome to have recordings from back then, but at that time I had no idea or recording anything. Stay warm Dale.

[@FesterWerks]

Really nice and laid back. That fried dough looks great :)

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

I do enjoy your cabin videos Dale, and especially your cabin cooking videos. I watched this one late last night. Watching cooking videos immediately before hitting the sack probably isn't wise! lol

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

[@kelcritcarroll]

I love your photos! That bluejay looks so handsome sitting there! I also love the story about the cookbook, she must have thought a-lot of you!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Kelly she was a very special person.

[@CraigArndt]

It's a beautiful stove Dale, great choice for the cabin. So nice to see the fire working in the stove, they are pretty efficient stoves from my research. It will be so nice to have that should you have another winter like the last one! Great video!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Craig Arndt Thanks Craig. A lot of money but I know I will get a lot of enjoyment out of it and it is going to make winter camping in the cabin much more enjoyable. Very efficient and easy to control with just the one damper to regulate it with. I love being able to see the flame too.

[@RVFreeDa]

Love the new stove, and the beans look delicious and the bread is making my mouth water! Think I'll go bake now. See ya later!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

[@kylerider7125]

I've never had beans with molasses. I'm going to have to try that. Also I did not know that salt will keep the beans from getting all the way soft. So thanks for that little tip. I love your pictures on the wall. Especially the one of the cabin.

Thank you Kyle.

Congrats on the stove my friend, hope you gets years of hassle free service, cooking on top and good heat. Stay safe!

Lenny Brown Thank you .

[@lb3153]

***** You are very welcome. it's really interesting.

[@jdgimpa]

Very interesting way to cook black eyed peas. I grew up eating them with my Grandmother's homemade "chili sauce" on them. The sauce wasn't very hot but it did have some hot bell peppers in it it's primary ingredient was ripe tomatoes it also had spices vinegar and sugar. She used to can it in quart jars and we put it on any kind of beans. She grew several varieties of beans as well as a large variety of other vegetables. We lived next door to my Grandparents so we had a large family garden. With anything that we could grow in Michigan. We also had strawberries and raspberries. There were gardens in three different places and I think total space was over an acre. My Grandparents had 14 acres total and my Dad had one acre that our house sat on.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

grant wright That was very interesting Grant. I'm likely one of the few people here that have ever eaten Black eyed peas. The only dried beans that are eaten around here are for backed beans similar to what I did in this video. My grandmother made them every Friday night. Your Grandmother'a sauce sounds very good.

[@davesourwine2522]

Great Video , Dale Good Luck in the Future!!!!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

[@CarolynNoblett]

I so enjoy your videos. They always have a calm order to them somehow. Somewhat away from the trappings of modern life. Even though you use good cameras and modern technology it always seems very down home.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Carolyn Noblett Thank you Carolyn.

[@SweetTater]

Thank you for the video.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Irene.

[@1fanger]

I bought a 602 many years ago from an antique dealer for $100. It was very old, but in mint condition. I could never find the right smoke pipe for it, so I ended up selling it for $300. Yours looks more modern. Good luck with your cabin, looks very cozy! Never met a fellow Canadian lefthander before. Pleased to meet you. If you played hockey, you were probably mighty dangerous, like me.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you. I think to find a stove pipe to fit this might be impossible too but it came with an adapter that fits the top of the stove and you fit standard pipe to it. It is a great little stove their advertising says they have sold over a million of them.

[@phillipharris609]

great video Dale.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Philip.

[@Gardeninggirl1107]

I love your new stove, the photos of the blue jay and cabin are wonderful, the fried dough (beaver tails, ha! ha! I said it) look so delicious, wonderful twist on the black-eyed peas and I miss Julia, too.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Gardeninggirl1107 Thank you. Many memories of Julia one of my favourite was here showing how she cooks turkey and it had one of those things in it that is supposed to pop up when the bird is done and she said the first thing you do is this and she grabbed onto it, pulled out and threw it over her shoulder.

[@Gardeninggirl1107]

Ha! ha! That's what made her so much fun. One of the last times I saw her on TV was when she was a "guest" for Emeril on the Food Network (I think) show. The segment was about making the perfect hamburger. All the toppings were already cut and prepared & she was shocked that the toppings didn't include onion. Julia mentioned how could a person have a burger without onions, and just the look on her face was priceless. My mom taped a bunch of Julia's cooking shows from I think the 70's -80's. I need to go look for them and see if my player still works - I hope it does.

[@amesadamson]

in love!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

LOL Thank you Ames.

[@elysejoseph]

Oops! You said beaver tail twice LOL What a lovely acquisition you have made, pricey but so efficient!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

***** LOL yes very pricey but it is going to be so much easier to use in the winter. I camped out there last night and it was very easy to keep the fire going all night.

[@lindakiefer9865]

I like your stove too and the cooking was good enough to almost smell! Years ago I learned a good trick for getting a cold stove to light more readily. Once you have your fire laid take a twist of about a half sheet of newspaper, light the end and poke it into the stove so it is burning right below the pipe opening. Let it burn a few seconds and then light your fire from the front as usual. The burning newspaper will warm the stove pipe and get the draft going quicker. Have fun. The quail are cute too.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Linda Kiefer Thank you that is a good tip I will give it a try. The quail are getting bigger everyday now. I put roosts in for the and tonight all 14 are sleeping on the roost.

[@MrStropparo]

Happy new year!

[@DAKOTANSHELBY]

Thanks for your videos Dale. FYI, I just purchased a Jotul Model 118, circa mid-1970s, this past October 2015 as an eBay purchase. I have shopped for this model stove for years, but there hard to come by in the Great Lakes Region. Numerous on the East Coast though. This stove is an original Jotul with original Green Enamel finish. Excellent condition. I have a friend that has a Jotul 118 knock off from Taiwan, but it will burn you out of the cabin by 3am in the morning its so efficient.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+Carl Spence Thank you . Yes that is a beautiful model especially with the colour finish. Too big for my little cabin though. I just spent the first night in the cabin this winter and I'm very impressed with the stove no problem at all keeping it going and it heats the cabin beautifully and the cook surface works wonderfully. With my old stove the surface never got hot enough to cook on. Video should be out Saturday.

[@DAKOTANSHELBY]

+Dale Calder Thanks for your reply. I'll continue to view your videos from the Greater Chicagoland area.

[@riverlighttrider]

Years ago I lived in an old farmhouse that didn't have much insulation so I got a Vermont castings VIGILANT woodstove and had it installed by someone who knew what they were doing. They gave me THE WOODBURNERS ENCYCLOPEDIA and I learned all I needed to know from it. That little woodstove would keep that little old farmhouse warm as toast on a winter night, all night long (8 hours) on 3 hefty pieces of split wood, 16' long, with the damper way down, and still be hot enough to fire up from the coals and cinders that were there in the morning. It had a griddle top and mitten racks and loaded from the front or top and could be used as an airtight ( as I did at night) or as a fireplace with a screen by day (but it used a lot more wood) ~ I'm not trying to sell them and I don't know anyone in the company ... I just know what a wonderful stove it was, and wanted to share that with you, since you mentioned not wanting to sleep in your little cabin at night with a wood fire you had to keep feeding. This might be a bit too warm though. I don't know.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+riverlightrider Thank you this new Yotul dose an excellent job and the fire lasts until morning too. Years ago I had a Vermont Casting stove in my house. Remodelled a few years back and done't even have a chimney now.

[@newnegritude1550]

Lovely Potjie! We just love potjie kos in South Africa. We don't get snow in SA. Would love to visit you for a bit.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

[@Jojo-if3lr]

My dad used to make a bread like that when he worked on the boat they called it a shanty-boat bread but it looked a lot like that just fried dough brought back old memories.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Some of the restaurants here offer fried dough but I don't think it is as common in homes as it once was not many people make bread now.

[@jimsteele7108]

that lil jotul is suppose to be the worlds top selling stove. I love it, I have its grand daddy and it's the bees knees.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

I think their website says they have sold over a million of them. I agree it is a great little stove.

[@jimsteele7108]

Dale Calder, how long can you go before you have to stoke her up?

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Around 5 hours if it is loaded.

[@TexanInTheUK1]

Fascinating. I love the pot you're cooking in. I've never thought to use molasses. I'll give it a try the next time I cook beans. Great photos. I'll have to try your fried dough. Our oven uses wood or coal It was a challenge to figure out how to use it properly, having used an electric oven until I came to the UK. Thank you for this video. I've enjoyed every bit of it.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Texan In The UK Thank you. I'm surprised that your oven is wood or coal I would have thought it would be gas now. Is it an AGA by any chance. I've always wanted to use one.

[@TexanInTheUK1]

***** It is a Rayburn which is the same as an AGA. They are both common in the UK. The oil varieties are also common but more expensive to run and gas ones are the least used. The one we have was probably made in the 70's, but are still available from new. (This response is via The Husband as the most I know is how to operate ours.)

[@BEARwidme]

This is my first time on your channel and I enjoyed this video immensely. I've seen the potjies at a local Amish store but I was mis-pronouncing the word, thank you for correcting me.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+BEARwidme Thank you. It is a strange sounding word in the native language os South Africa.

[@baconsoda]

Just noticed, after the bear video, when I saw this video on the side of the page, that the thumbnail looks like there's a head in the stove. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

baconsoda Here I was thinking no one will notice that had in the stove.

[@Sheila6325]

I couldn't wait to see your new stove, so I looked them up, BUT I did not know which one you chose, and guess what? I chose the one I liked, and you chose the same one!!! It's fantastic! Also, those shades are perfect too! I love them, and I'm getting those too. I love the light they let come through the glass. Most dim it, or take most of it away, and I will need all the light I can get since this is backup lighting for my beach place. I have some a bit like yours now, but they are frosted too, so they dim the lights too much. Yours are just right. I'm going to check them out right away. That bird photo is Gorgeous! That's like a professional photo, no kidding. You can show photos any time, I love them. The cabin in that color is perfect, it matches the wood on the inside. Love that photo too. Now all you need is one of those small table ice makers to be able to put a bowl of ice in front of that fan, and you will have Air Conditioning for the summer!!! You are so COOL, pun intended. Hugs, Sheila PS I just love cookbooks like that. I read them all the time. I even had to look up some of the measurements, and ingredients they used. The best one was of the Army and how they cooked for everyone. Whole side of beef in pot, how to refresh rancid butter, man, was some of it ever terrible. LOL

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Sheila6325 Thank you Sheila I love the little stove. As far as Yotuls go it is the only model I could use in a cabin as small as mine. I really like being able to cook on it and being able to see the fire.

[@Sheila6325]

The cooking, and being able to see the fire is what I loved about it too. There is just something about a fire in the winter. I don't think a wood stove is complete until It has a kettle on it. Mine was cast iron back then, and as huge, and heavy as it was, I never minded hauling it back and forth for water. You made a wonderful choice with that stove, I think it's one of the best I have seen in quite some time, and I have been looking. Oh, and I also love the look of it, it's a beautiful stove, and that's a real plus when you have that kind of quality.

I enjoyed your video Dale. Here in Newfoundland we call fried dough a touton and I also eat it with baked beans.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Roddy I googled that it looks just like what we do here . Reminds me of my childhood, I love it .

[@jourdanbe]

Thanks for the information on the Jøtul stove. I recently purchased a cabin and it came with the same brand of stove. I had no idea they were that valuable. Looking forward to using it once winter comes around.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+jourdanbe They are not cheap but it is one of those times where you get what you paid for. IMO they are the best there is as far as efficient cast iron stoves go. The log stove that I was using would give lots of heat but it wasn't efficient at all if you didn't put more wood in every hour and a half or so it would go out. The little Jøtul stove that I just bought will run 5 to 6 hours on one fill up if you close the damper down. I suppose larger models would burn even longer. What model do you have?

[@jourdanbe]

+Dale Calder I did a bit of research today and the model that I have is the F100. When winter comes around I will post a review video on it. Looks like it is rated for 600 to 1000 sqft.

[@catsmaw9286]

Mr . Calder, that looks like a meal "fit for a King".....what an honor for your family member to give you her mother's recipe book.....I guess she knew it would be in good hands.....maybe you should call your bread "toothy vertebrate" bread...we will know what you mean...LOL LOVE your videos in the cabin and any with Angel in them! Good luck with your knee surgery..

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Nancy I'm looking forward to having this surgery behind me.

[@Femmpaws]

Good looking stove, a friend has the bigger brother to the one you have and is using it to heat his woodshop in the winter. Now for your meal that looks good I'll have to give it a try, only I don't have a woodstove to cook them on. When I was fishing with Dad in Alaska we almost always had a pot of beans or beans and rice simmering on the diesel stove in the pilot house. Many times we had breakfast at 2 in the afternoon because we were on fish. When you are trolling you have to run the gear when the fish are biting it's not like the net fisheries.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Kriss Femmpaws Thank you I really like the little stove.

[@rmyerscmi]

Really like that wood stove! Great addition. It would be neat to scan or photograph some of the recipes from your little cookbook and post them in a video. What a treasure something like that is! Watched the video while I was eating lunch. Felt like I was there with you. Great fun!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

rmyerscmi Thank you I'll give that some thought and might try doing it.

[@jasonhowell8599]

This stove is very nice because you can see the fire. l will get myself one, when l get a cabin,

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you.

[@kevinbradleygardeningandou9767]

Great looking stove Dale and your pictures, especially the Blue Jay are very good. It is good to see you are getting use out of your Solar power. How about some eves trough around the Cabin so you can collect water in barrels. Cheers.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Kevin Bradley Thanks Kevin. I think the eves trough is a good idea something I hope to eventually get around to doing.

[@christophermckellar1352]

Here in Utah, it's now time to use the solar oven. Doesn't fry bread, though. Although, you have inspired me to try it. Can always bake it, though! Thanks for the video.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Christopher McKellar Hmmmm a pan with some oil and the dough in the solar over I think that might work.

[@christophermckellar1352]

***** That's what I'm thinking.

[@marchindy]

I have watched quite a few of your cabin videos and have enjoyed them all with the cooking making me want to try some myself. One thing that might help with your stove is I was taught was to leave the door open a little when first starting a cold stove. Just dont ever walk away from the stove with the door cracked open as it could really take off. Oxygen is your friend when first getting a fire going. Once the fire is lit good just close the door and run it as normal. Outside air temp and humidity make a big difference in lighting off a wood stove. Also there are some good stove temp guages out there I have some from Condar.com that seem to be really accurate. You have a great looking stove and this just my humble advise not criticizing at all. Keep the great videos coming.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you very much for your advice but I no longer use this stove I now have a Jøtul cost a lot of money but I love it and it has a true cook top.

[@superdavedfw]

Hello Dale. Love your videos. That logwood stove was probably overkill for your small cabin. I have a similar logwood stove in my house (same size, same style, different brand from tractor supply). When I pack it full of wood, it cranks out heat for the whole house. I have found that the damper is hard to adjust (not much in between). With an open damper, it drafts like a tornado, which is good for starting fires. Looks like you got a good, new stove.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

+superdavedfw Yes I really like the Jotul stove, very efficient but I can still get the cabin too hot. It is a very small cabin and insulated.

[@cfoster4389]

I like that you can cook on this stove. It really does seem to make more sense for you. I loved watching you make that dough. It looked so light and fluffy for a flat type bread. I wanted to take a bite of it. I'm pretty sure that was water in your glass but for a second I thought it was vodka or gin! How about a video update on the quail? I'm sure you are busy so whenever you have a chance it would be nice to see them. Love your videos!

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

C Foster LOL no just water. The quail are doing fine but still in the coop under the brooder I will do a video when I release them into the cage area in a week or so. They are fully feathered now.

[@patriciadudzik6440]

I wish with all my heart I could live like you as I am a caretaker for a long time , many years !I hope someday

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you .

[@davidkrasowski6265]

i agree like to watch....

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you.

[@conradsenior5843]

I love any size stove. Although it's nice when they burn overnight.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Yes it is good when it burns for several hours .

[@ambrosemackinnon8314]

newspaper is good too great videos i like them

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

Thank you Ambrose.

[@Sergejoncas]

Dale now that you have such a nice stove get rid of the frying pan and get a cast iron one and the stove seem to cook pretty good thanks for the vid

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

serge j Thank you Serge my cast iron pans were up at the house. I should get one just for the cabin.

[@JeremiahJJay]

I really wish you would try to cook something from her hand written recipe book. Such an honor.

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

That's a great idea! But I can't find the book.

[@bosse641]

Nice stove to fry up eggs and bacon and beans for breakfast. ...and some coffee :-)

[@DaleCalderCampobello]

It's a great little stove and I'm looking forward to colder weather soon so I can camp out and enjoy the wood fire heat. It has a small but very good cook surface.
