My "Little Lodge" Episode #4 Cubic Mini Wood Stove Test Burn

Hey everyone, Welcome to my channel. I hope you enjoy this video walkthrough of my 7x16 off grid cargo trailer conversion. Part 4 focuses on the tiny wood stove I chose to install in the lodge. It's the cub version available from Cubic Mini Wood Stoves. I spent the past few weeks building this out and wanted to share it with everyone. I really love the fact that it turned out so rustic and cozy. The tiny wood stove has a ton to do with that. I like the sights, sounds, and smells of a wood stove on a chilly autumn evening and this tiny stove does not disappoint. In an effort to cover a few different parts of this trailer I am splitting up the tour into a few different episodes. If you are interested in checking them out they will be in the "Little Lodge" playlist on my channel. I hope these videos give you some ideas or help with a trailer conversion or tiny house of your own. Feel free to ask questions in the comments below.

I really love it also. I stayed in it last night and it got down to 23° F. Stayed nice and cozy inside!

I have the Cub in my 28' motorhome. I love it!

[@DeweyPierce76]

I can believe that! I was a little worried about the initial investment, since it's not cheap. It's definitely exceeded my expectations! I love how cozy it makes the space feel.

Are you happy with the Cub in the RV ? I’m torn between Grizzly vs Cub for our RV.

[@FidoHouse]

@davidfrise1728 I'm happy with it. I moved my furnace thermostat to bathroom so it would be unaffected - set at a lower temp, it will still run when I need heat below the floor for lines and tanks - while I enjoy the heated living area. If you want to cook on it, the Grizzly will give you more space. Regardless, I'm always on the lookout for very small pots, etc., and now have a good selection. The pieces of wood that can go in can be slightly larger in a Grizzly. I use an Eco-Fan, which sits on top to help push the hot air forward. I bought a "baby" chainsaw (12v Milwaukee cordless) to cut firewood to size more easily. My preference is for good quality compressed sawdust logs which I can just bang on the floor to break to right length. Cub will give you plenty of heat. Grizzly has advantage of larger fuel capacity so not refilling as often. Higher price up front. Regardless of size of unit, chimney connection is only 3". I got an adapter to 4" and got double-walled 4" stove piping - extra safety. Also, stove pipe thermometer for double-walled. I cut a 6" chimney-sweeping "broom" down to fit 4" and it works well. Hope this info helps.

Wood ash and water on a paper towel will clean the glass as well as the store bought glass cleaner. This may save you a little money. And you don't have to remember to bring the bottle.

[@DeweyPierce76]

I've been adding a bit of ash to the towel when I clean the glass also. That's a great tip that I forgot to add to the video. Thanks for sharing it with everyone!

I know it's a bit late now. But the first thing you should have done was to use and burn it outside for about 20-30 hours before moving it inside to burn all the paint and chemicals off from it.

[@DeweyPierce76]

I did that...I set it up in my backyard and burned it for about 30 hours till the paint fumes went away.

[@DeweyPierce76]

Thanks for the tip though!

[@sunseeker8457]

Good man. There are many that don't burn it first (most men don't read the instructions, because we are men!) And that's why we don't read the instructions)! @@DeweyPierce76

One hour in and how many times did he have to add wood to that stove. Don’t fall asleep with a fire in that itty bitty tiny stove cause when you wake up that small room ain’t gonna be even remotely warm. And I’m wondering what he’s gonna use those large fry pans on. Even the smallest one won’t fit on that stove top.

[@DeweyPierce76]

I did add wood to it quite often, to get everything in the trailer warmed up, since it started at -16°. After you get the coals going and everything warmed up you only have to fill it with wood every couple of hours to keep it warmed up.
