CUBIC MINI WOOD STOVE...How I installed it!

[@hypnotherapycw]

i appreciate seeing you struggle with putting this together properly. thanks for allowing us to see someone be human.

[@kenskarpentry]

My pleasure!

[@rdyardie]

I did not realize the amount of "fiddle-diddle" that goes into the installation of this stove. There is an amazing amount of work involved in the installation. Thank you for sharing.

[@kenskarpentry]

Haha you’re welcome

[@debbiee6535]

I think I need something just a hair bigger than that but thank you for showing me how to do it

[@leeinwis]

fiddle-diddle

[@rogerdepuysseleire45]

Haha right, like every other project. " Let's fix it saturdaymorning, after that have lunch with friends and in the afternoon go shopping" .. Reality: "sorry folks, I cant make it for lunch and shopping, the project takes way more time "😅

[@ervintaylor6508]

My wife and I have that exact same cubic mini in our 300 sq ft tiny home we absolutely love it we use the stove all winter long we heat with a combination of madrone and Doug fir, but I'm not sure Ken if you did a pre burn on the stove it needs at least a 3-hour preburn outside to cure the paint otherwise it will smoke inside as the paint cures and will leave a smell that is very difficult to get out of your house

[@kenskarpentry]

They’re going to open all those windows and door with a fan

[@carolynstegall7000]

That is so darn cute, I never knew they made them so small!

Enjoyed the video this morning, even though I didn’t comment at that time. I was watching the news this evening here in Arizona and saw all the flooding over on the East Coast and I do hope that your town does not get flooded out again. Again, great job on all of your videos. Prayers and blessings. Go your way for decent weather.

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks so much. We haven’t had flooding yet. A couple of inches so far

[@alpcns]

Very nice indeed. A very well-made, lovely stove installed perfectly. Ideal for the little house. Thanks Ken!

[@kenskarpentry]

Glad you like it!

[@jake68vesta]

you could have dropped a plumb bob down to the center of the hole on top of the stove, that would have given a center to drill your hole.

[@ClimbToGlory10thMntn]

Ken, glad you showed the stove installation cus I was worried you wouldn’t when I saw it already hanging on the wall during the table build on the Murphy bed in the video before. Was pretty scary when you put the wood in the stove and talked about starting a fire right after you wrapped the plastic on the pipe above. Almost jumped out of chair wanting to say….hey wait!!😆 Nice looking build.

Gooooooooooood afternoon, Ken!

[@kenskarpentry]

Good day sir

[@brucealvarez9263]

It looks really nice. I bet you could put the screws through the heat shield, then the spacer and hold the spacers to the screws with a little scotch tape. The tape would peel off when you drive the screws. It is interesting that they have you put the chimney pipe 180° opposite what is normally done. Presumably having the fluted side down keeps creosote from leaking down outside the pipe.

[@jfrodgers7858]

I always wondered about that. Fluted at bottom, liquids run DOWN inside. But smoke escapes through the fluted gaps as it rises? Not sure about the science.

[@StoneKathryn]

Such a cute mini-wood stove! That really looks nice mounted on the shelf! So sorry you had to cut a hole in the roof but I like the double walled chimney and the insulation surround chimney. I really liked the whole stove wall bracket thing for air movement all around the stove. I'm glad you aren't putting it through where anything special is behind there. Nice job getting the hole cut through the roof! I like the boot cap around the chimney and the chimney cap. When it gets to it's resting place you'll put the other piece of chimney on. Great video on the installation of the Cubic mini-wood stove Ken!

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks so much

[@clarencewiles963]

And I was thinking about the stove being 2 or 3 feet from the wall. And it comes down to 2 or 3 inches! Ken you picked a good location!

[@jfrodgers7858]

That is a beauty. So glad you didn't light it after the plastic cover. I was hollering, wait wait, the plastic. (Just have one question. Does this need a first burn "bake off" outside, gradual up to temp, them a continued elevated heat to temper, like other NEW wood burning stoves?)

[@kenskarpentry]

Yes they will do that on site

[@michellelester243]

I have a mini capybara on pre-order but I am considering the cubic mini (bus) ceiling kit for it. I am so scared to cut a hole in my roof. Thanks for walking us through the complete installation process with you.

[@kenskarpentry]

Nice. I hope it goes well for you.

[@Lee-mmg]

I was thinking about how it will smoke and smell if you didn't do a pre-burn outside before installing it - and sure enough I saw a comment down below where someone said that. I don't think you did - and if not - they are right it will "smell"! It's the paint on it. I'll be installing one like that in my 8x12 itsy bitsy tiny home summer of 25. I am blessed - I have friends who will provide me with all the wood I need/desire. Thank you so much to my friends. Me and my fur face live in the tiny cottage. Had to take everything out for a while to put in flooring. I've done things as I can afford. So means sometimes moving "everything out". I will be glad when it's finished (of course a person always comes up with something new to do inside or outside of their tiny cottage/home. :-) I am going to be experimenting with wood burning on some trim that goes inside cottage and on wall covering in places. And even adding color with "wood dye" oh yes there is such a thing. :-) It's fun to watch others work on their cottages - and always something new to learn. Enjoyed the video. God Bless.

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks the homeowners did that

[@marthasullivan7521]

Very Cute!!! But WHY did you position it so close to the window? And ON the trim? Did not get that part. No chance for curtains or blinds now! And is there room for a cabinet under the wood stove in the corner? Say 36"? Love following along!

[@sandygrant9220]

Cellular shades or no cord shades get mounted within the window frame. They would work.

[@kenskarpentry]

It had to be that close to the window in order to clear the storage area trim

[@lindabarth6079]

Then why not cut out the window trim to make it flush ?

[@wakcackle3555]

If they are wood threaded screws, you can cut little squares of plastic or tag-board and cut a slit in the middle. Turn the panel face down with the screws pointed up, place the spacers on the screw ends, and then thread the little squares onto the ends to hold everything in place when you lift the panel back up.

[@kenskarpentry]

True. Thanks

[@rickes8215]

I owned the Grizzly model. I changed to a pellet stove. No issues with the Grizzly except while sleeping it's small and went out.

[@kenskarpentry]

Very nice

[@richmargadonna2155]

Very nice installation. Takes some patience. Is there a reason that it couldn't have gone closer to the corner rather than overhang the window trim? super job!

2 questions. How does the stovepipe connect "airtight-ly" down at the woodstoce end? And the metal shield behind the stovepipe, shouldn't there be airflow behind it? Where does the air at the top of it get out?

[@kenskarpentry]

The stove pipe is a double wall pipe one pipe fits inside the stove, the other one the outside of the stove. There’s good air flowing behind the shield on the wall.

[@dianevessels2632]

Thank you for the video. I know you need to describe what you’re doing but at the beginning of the video it sounds like you are assembling something but not showing what you’re doing. Where did you purchase the stove and how any square foot will it heat? Thank you for the video. I’ve been considering purchasing one. I appreciate your help.

[@kenskarpentry]

The homeowner purchased the woodstove so I don’t know the cost. It says it will heat the 12 x 8 area in the tiny house.

[@realoldgeekster]

Ken, how will the customer put up curtains with the stove so close to the window? BTW your tiny trailer box dwelling has been a great series. Thanks for making it.

[@kenskarpentry]

Thanks. Cellular shades would work great there

[@garyfoster4555]

I think your inner pipe is installed upside down usually the taper and goes down so creosote flows down the pipe inside of the stove instead of over top of the spike sections

[@paulconnolly5276]

would have been nice to see the stove in work. how do we know its good or bad

[@tonyz6421]

I was just wondering why you didn't install a bit lower? I understand its much easier to gain access too and less bending over which is huge😊, but seems more efficient to have lower?? Thanks, was fun to watch and its a cool stove for sure.
