[@nickischwab205]

The new stove looks great! It will certainly come in handy when winter arrives not to mention when the baby comes! This is going to be an exciting time for both of you. I can"t wait!!!

[@chrishayward1422]

So much learned from watching your channel. You are great at explaining everything in a way that even people like me get it. Thank you for sharing and making things simple.

[@cbass2755]

I really like that wood stove. Really nice looking. Beautiful job Kyle…👍

[@bernandoturner4840]

You professionally installed this heater.. Nice Job.. Women need good Men in there Lives.👻

[@reapersphantomofhell]

It’s a Kyle video….what a bad a** who non-chantly just builds and fixes stuff.

[@hollynoelle1281]

Very cozy cabin!

[@susanmiller5852]

Wow the woodstove looks really nice! Skeeter is going to love laying by the fire! Cierra looks beautiful with her baby bump!! My daughter has a beautiful baby bump too! Being a mother is one of the greatest gifts in life ♥️🥰♥️

[@Backyard_Chickens]

Great idea about the air gap spacer. Thanks!

[@Judamac]

Hi from Canada .Interesting video thanks for sharing

[@hdrvman]

I just scored a brand new,in crate from 1999 Jotul #404 wood cook stove with oven!!! It's enameled cast iron and beautiful !!! Found it locally for $100.00 !!!!!!

[@ddellwo]

Sweet…….!!!!

[@beckyumphrey2626]

We love our Jotul stove!!!

[@rachelfrees1268]

Keeping toasty warm this winter. Love wood stove fires.🎉

[@roystorms188]

leaving a space at the top and bottom with your stand off will help circulate heat by drawing cold air in at the bottom.

[@mileswinslow7553]

Get pictures of the Northern Lights Kyle, this Fall.

[@grannyshell5425]

Hey, the cabin looks great!! It's going to be nice and snugglie this winter. I predict you guys will have a little boy to rock by that warm stove. God's blessings to you and your family!!! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@kennethmclean3679]

Nice work as always. Btw, I asked in your last video on the new build land, what ever happened to the cabin you were building? It had the windows and doors going in and then stopped. Why now another build without finishing the one started already? Busy guy.

[@Joanne_uk]

He’s leaving it to settle over winter then will start working on it again in Spring. He’s mentioned it a few times on the videos of building it.

[@williammeek7218]

The cabin is awesome Kyle. I was thinking you’d put a wood stove in there. You’ll need it soon. That old piece came in handy.

[@joncarpenter4997]

Hello kyle glad to watch u

[@KenC49]

Hey Kyle! That's a cute little stove. I like it

[@Eeropolvasti]

Please, Remember insulate,... Really Insulate your floor, before Baby, Winter comes !!!!! Just sayineg.....;o), Ps you have Nothing in there.....

[@U.S.Male1]

Very nice, Kyle.

[@johnwebster5289]

Great job Kyle. Can you believe the weather we’re having? High 70’s and low 50’s. Both of you, Sketter, your cat and chickens be well!!

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again KYLE Happy fall! Perfect timing getting your stove/fireplaces installed. You did a super job as usual. Will be just the right timing and you'll be all settled in for the baby too. Looking forward to seeing your other cabin go up. Thx as always for sharing. Stay safe...

[@earlshannon1048]

Hey Kyle how many Sq ft does your new little stove cover! I've a 225 Sq ft room to heat

[@miitheweirdartist6794]

Beautiful work..👍

[@russellwatters5891]

Great job with the stove install! It looks awesome on the wall, and I'm sure it'll heat the new addition like noones business..😊 Love what you're doing 😊

[@ricka.a.]

Personal preference. When I do heat sheilding. No matter what it is. I leave roughly a one inch gap to the wall also. And I leave the same kind of gap at both the bottpm and top of my sheilding. It promotes air flow behind the sheilding through convective air flow. Helping to keep the wall cooler. And helping circulate some of the heat in the room.

[@futurekron]

Great tutorial! Just what I needed. I have a mini version of your same stove, so all of the steps you outlined are relevant to my own install (except I'm not going thru the roof!)

[@Wookinpanub235]

Needs a 1” air gap at the base of the hear shield to draw air in at the bottom and a gap at the top to escape.

[@kc8aro66]

Very nice as always

[@kathyfournier5047]

Great job, it looks very nice!!! 🩷😊🩷

[@2thmvrmpf]

I bought the smaller version of this stove a few years ago for my 170 square foot hunting cabin. It is solid, works great and I can’t run it too high as it gets too hot in the cabin. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a good quality stove!

[@Liz-lt1zn]

You look so Beautiful Cierra

I'm highly inspired. Please spill some sugar about the bi-weekly stuff you mentioned.

[@abidullah2048]

I raised 75k and Christina Ann Tucker is to be thanked. I got my self my dream car 🚗 just last weekend, My journey with her started after my best friend came back from New York and saw me suffering in dept then told me about her and how to change my life through her. Christina A. Tucker is the kind of person one needs in his or her life! I got a home, a good wife, and a beautiful daughter. Note!:: this is not a promotion but me trying to make a point that no matter what happens, always have faith and keep living!!

[@kitttriy]

Wow 😱 I know her too Miss Christina Ann Tucker is a remarkable individual whom has brought immense positivity and inspiration into my life.

[@lisescheiman5092]

Stove's Not large enough Urgently Need insulation.

[@jamesringler5977]

i believe you installed the black flue pipe opposite of what it should be, the crimped end should be faceing up to prevent smoke from seeping out through the joint

[@armslength2618]

Crimped end is always DOWN, allowing creosote to drip back down into the chimney and stove, instead of leaking out from the splayed end. Any tiny bit of fugitive smoke will always be pulled into the chimney by draft effect, even if you had little holes in the side of the pipe, which you hopefully don't have.

[@armslength2618]

A much better choice of solid-fuel stove would be the Amish multi-purpose Hitzer-55 heating stove. Made for burning thermal coal with the robust heavy steel construction, thermostat air flow control, and ash handling needed for that, it is also very good at burning large irregular pieces of firewood of varying quality because of those features. Wood is best burned with air flow coming at the side of the fire, which is why the cheaper sand-bed woodstove fireboxes can get away with being cheap. But for coal and irregular miscellaneous solid fuels with potentially intense heat release, you need a regulated air flow coming from underneath. The shaker-grate ensures you can easily clear bottom ash to keep that flow going. A bottom ash tray underneath that allows efficient ash handling and removal even when the fire is burning. If you want to burn wood in it, just let the ash bed build up and the side-flue allows air to come at the wood fire from right to left. Do not use those snap-together single-thickness pipes. Much better to install structural factory double-wall black pipe for the indoor sections (as is usually required by code nowadays), mating to the outdoor double-wall sections on top. Double-wall is safer, much stronger and more stable, and holds in the heat better allowing for a more reliable draft. Finally, a 3-sided wall of stacked paver bricks around the stove is much better than some sheet metal or cement board on your wall. Not only will the brick protect a wall from radiant heat, it will actually absorb all that heat instead of reflecting it away. So you'll get an extra hour of usable heat being put into the room from it after the fire goes out. Relatively little heat will be radiated from the double-wall black pipe, which will be a considerable distance from any wall anyway.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

He probably got this one at.a.great.deal.

[@joannadavis1881]

Looks really cozy and comfy. Your family is going to be safe secure and loved and happy together 🥰❤️

[@RobinJones-ow9oz]

I love your new wood stove. How much longer does Cierra have. She is so beautiful and pregnant. I'm so excited to for y'all.

[@kellyj.miller3353]

Great job, you have God given talent, and wisdom!

[@carolynspaulding6322]

When is the baby due? Do you know if you are having a little boy or girl?

[@roosdad1]

I'm guessing a Girl after that shot of Mrs. Sierra in this video. high

[@patz.4721]

I was thinking the same..girl

[@marywalker2896]

Naa it’s a boy without a doubt !!! Lol. I think she’s got about two maybe three months left…

[@NRP1991]

It’s Kyle’s cabin. Excellent video man. That stove is perfect for a little ambiance too. Can’t wait for more videos!!!

Great progress on the addition & of course Skeeter was making sure it was done right

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

I really like you new wood stove it really looks great 👍🏻

[@cabininthewoods7326]

In New York the chimney stack has to be 2 feet above the highest peak of the home I don't know what code Minnesota has that wouldn't pass in New York.

Dude, stop simping for your masters. Break free from your enslavement and live free for once. You are living under the most advanced form of slavery the world has ever seen, and you the slave are literally helping your masters keep yourself in check. You have Stockholm syndrome. Wake up sheep.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

No inspections needed for his cabin.

[@rileyvanausdal]

I always look forward to your videos!

[@ratsmacker3702]

Do you have to have the cement board or can you just have the metal with a 1 inch gap?

[@prima164]

You can just put up sheetrock if you want, the metal heat shield and air gap are doing all the work. The cement board isn't doing anything at all over regular drywall. Neither material can combust and neither is a good insulator or reflector. He probably just had it on hand and saved himself some $$$ on the wooden planks in that spot. No reason to use good wood when it's covered with the corrugate metal.

[@ratsmacker3702]

@@prima164 cool thanks, that's what I thought, I'm doing the same thing he's doing with the same stove as well

[@devonstultz4529]

Its amazing how well that heat shield works my wall was scorching hot before I put one on. Now I can put my hand behind the shield and its cool to the touch. I know it's common knowledge but it was impressive to me.

Love the new stove

How far from the Canadian border are you folks?

That’s a cold running upper chimney. Running all the way with class A metalbestos chimney is the proper and safe way to do it. The way it is now will build creosote really fast. Fire hazard.

Awesome job Sir Kyle. Colder weather is coming soon.

[@patrickbenoit5495]

Hi Guy's, I love your content. I would suggest that you leave a gap at the bottom and top of your heat shield , so that the hot air can flow from top to bottom. I work in home insurance. just want you guy's safe

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos brother, good looking stove

[@jacobtrujillo6946]

Spit on your finger next time when you smooth out the caulk/silicone and you can glide over it and smooth it out without it sticking to your finger. Looks sweet though

[@josephczapiewski5386]

Perfect timing-I'm installing my Woodsman stove tomorrow. Thanks for the reassuring info, my fellow northern Minnesotan!

[@racebanning6390]

Kool little Stove👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸Congrats, its Autumn and them chilly nights are upon us. Be blessed🙏🙏🙏

[@QuercusAlba01]

junk little stove, no control of heat. Don't cheap out on heating. You need one good stove and proper air circulation for your space...

[@MrSTOUT73]

Shouldn't the pipes be assembled the other way, with the male end pointing up so water can't run into the joint?

[@AboutTime-xi5ie]

Oh Cierra, you look great and I believe you are having a girl....do you both know or letting it be a surprise....for real how exciting for the two of you and us too if you share some great times you are having with your child..

Thanks for sharing Kyle!

[@PaintedskiesRankin]

Your channel and the channel of the Whipple family is the only one I watch all the way through including commercials thank you so much for taking us along for the journey Cireria has and continues to look very beautiful during her time of joy you both are going to make wonderful parents. Your parents are going to make wonderful grandparents. Much respect from Mississippi.

[@vonheise]

Question, we only see what your choose to show us, do you ever take a day to just watch KZbin or chill and relax? When I retired, I felt like it was a waste if I didn't accomplish at least on thing a day, but now, when I am tired I vegetate, but sometimes feel guilty for it. The only wood stove I ever owned had a thermostat intake damper rather than one on the chimney so I don't know much about chimney dampers. Do the chimney seams leak any smoke when the damper is closed?

[@carlakohlwes-vp7lt]

Reminds me of a Swiss chalet. Congratulations and wishing many blessings on you all in your new home

[@ST-xc3qw]

What’s the name of the silicone used? Thanks

[@samhill3496]

Good job man. Those are great stoves. Safe install. Like how you metal boxed twix the ceiling and roof. Big Stretch is a good silicon seal. Lasts well. Had to get on my roof and patch a valley this week. Heavy rains. Yeah it won't be a couple weeks til a heavy frost in the north country. Not that far from Int'l Falls. Coldest place in the world. All good from east Kentucky USA. Next time

While everyone is saying how nice that stove is (it is!), I'm fixated on if Skeeter has felt the baby move yet?

[@adenvet2830]

Hi friend when you reeled off the safety check list one very important thing I was hoping you would mention that the wood you were burning should be 20%moisture content at maximum and the lower the better.

[@JimmyAbbottAbbott]

Hoping you will install edge protection on the corrugated tin backing the fireplace that close to the doorway just as a safety for cuts. Maybe your planning door opening facing to cover it. Enjoy your channel

[@acrustykrab]
