Off Grid Earthbag Workshop Part 57 Installing A Wood Stove

[@AnthonyNovelli3rd]

Thank you for a reasoned explanation for not using a rocket stove. I appreciate your common sense approach.

[@krisgr5237]

All of your creations are wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing it all!

[@mattlilly2303]

Been watching you since all but the first 15 or so round house videos. I can honestly say that you may once have been a novice learning as you go but now have become a craftsman and teacher. You have shown this old dog many new tricks over the years. The pride you have in what you have achieved is more than well earned. Thank you and cheers from down under.

[@johnbambridge4434]

Keep up the great work. This is a great escape for the rest of us. Thanks.

[@anuverun6762]

I've spent 50 hours this week bashing away at spreadsheets and attending Teams meetings, and not accomplished a fraction of what you've achieved. It often feels like a waste of life, but it is edging me closer to a simpler lifestyle. Thanks, as ever, for the inspiration.

[@TheKlink]

It's all a bridge.

[@dobrovik]

Maybe you didn't accomplish anything for you, but think of the tremendous value you created for someone else. Just pretend you're them!

Sitting down after a long afternoon with the strimmer, finding a video from you Kris is a welcome tonic!

Especially this one! I’m having a cuppa tea...

[@emmaslow]

@@Coppretta especially this one! It's chilly and I'm waiting for a chimney inspection so can't use my woodburner (only source of heating) - I've got a hot water bottle and I've persuaded my border collie girl to snuggle up on my armchair 🤣

@Ben T. I'm currently in Germany: Everything here is brick and stone, with 50 Cm walls. It does make plumbing and electric repairs tricky though!

[@zopEnglandzip]

@Ben T. I live in an equally old house, the bricks are made of cheese though so I have to use long fasteners or the face of the brick just pops off, repointing takes up a fair bit of time every few years.

[@zopEnglandzip]

@Ben T. I'm repointing with opc like a scumbag I'm afraid, going half a brick deep, what I've done is not coming out again but because previous owners have only put 1/4"of opc mortar over the dusty lime mortar, I'll decide that bits solid and move on then a month after I painted it'll pop off and ruin my pristine paint. Eventually I'll get to a point where it's all solid... Hopefully. I've found the hammer in fixings from timco to be really good in the soft brick because they only expand at the tip, or chemical studs, short rawl plugs are the worst, needles to say my home improvements end up looking a bit industrial! Occasionally I'll find the original fixing methods where the builders have chased the mortar between the brick, hammered some wedges in then then fixed onto the wedges but life is too short to dig away at lathes every time I want to put up a shelf!

[@swirlgalaxy]

Howdy Kris!! Well, now you can be all snug in the workshop for all your winter projects! BRAVO!

[@AvinashSingh-kw6oj]

Hearing that crackling firewood through my headphone is so soothing. Well done!

[@SilverGoth]

What a cheerful video for our dark times! Just what I needed! 😁

[@michaela1655]

It is amazing to see how many different things you try and just how good you are at all of these things.

[@foziahramli3001]

Loved seeing Kris aka Jack of all trades completing his projects.... Waiting for more!!

[@nomad3189]

Fireplace looks great! Watching you do the things you do motivates me to at least try some projects. Thanks

[@wolfsangeleyes]

That is a beautiful wood stove. You looked so happy when you lit the fire for the very first time. May it keep you warm for many a years.

[@norfunk]

Kris that burner is lovely, fits the room nicely.

[@gb8014]

Can’t wait for the bandsaw mill build. Maybe use Matt cremonas plans ? His seems to work great

[@ancienttrails]

Hey man! I love all your work. It’s been a blast watching you do your thing. It makes us happy to know you’re enjoying your life. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@paulwaldrop]

Very nice. Love the way you do things.. Combination of old/new. Great work.

Great work Kris- the reef knot relief on the stove front is vibey too!

[@travelswithdave]

Kris I love your channel, I admire your drive, your stick-to-it ness, your hard work ethic, you are a renaissance Man!!!! For Real!!!! As long as you keep making videos I will keep watching, Love seeing everything come together. I am inspired By you!!!!

[@HAZZASIB]

Can't wait for the bandsaw! Thanks for keeping us sane during lockdown.

[@doomprophet]

Beautiful old stove! The stones you put it on look great.

[@annerimler]

Did the kitty give the stove her seal of approval? Ha! Wonderful work! Thanks

[@jazzswinglish]

I think there should be a cushion on the seat at the side of the stove for the cat.

[@KrisHarbour]

Very good idea John! she will like that

[@KianneofTroi]

I love the Olde worldie feel that you are making its beautiful!

[@kennethgibbons2487]

That looks fantastic Kris... you just never stop working do you. Watching you I was thinking back to the days when you first started the workshop and thinking of all the hours and labour that went into it to get it to the present stage. Maybe you should take some rest time... but I know you wont just having listened to your list of upcoming projects!

[@lynnprovost1779]

I think it's amazing that you managed to cycle up so much stuff and if you have to you could fix it and that's what you say all the time you did a great job love the workshop earthbag home is when I'm going for next that's where I'm headed and I am so excited after watching your build also it's going to be so cool God bless you and have good fun and have fun building with things that have already been used and giving them a new life new life

[@alfguimaraes]

Wicked man, lots of work but so rewarding, the bit when you make a cuppa is the best how pleased you look lighting your first fire.

[@offgridcabinbelgium]

Very nice result. Thanks. I guess in a couple of years we will see you put up a video about hollowing those stone structures for storage space.

[@scottstewart5784]

I appreciate your editing touch. Never gets too bogged down.

[@matrimhelmsgaard]

Nice Norwegian stove you've got there, this is a timeless design going back to around the 1770's. Love it!

You are an inspiration to all makers and doers. I really admire the hard work and determination. Good work mate

[@planethome8014]

The quality of your work... very impressive.

[@gr1mrea9er82]

How cool. Kris has a nice old Norwegian cast iron wood stove... Ulefos is one of the best you can find. The factory has been operating since the late 1600s but production today mainly consists of only one antique "marquee" model and parts for this, as most of the other models have been discontinued. Norway have lots of different cast iron oven manufacturers, and the biggest ones almost have monopoly, so the manufacturers with only older models suffered less demand after the late 80s.

[@staxter6]

@Lars Grimstad Takk skal du ha for the information, for a moment I thought it was a Welsh brand! ;-)

[@G58]

Chris B Wales was visited by the Norse, as were various parts of these islands, such as the north east. In many of these places the local language has Norse sounding words, phrases and dialects.

[@subliminal_donkey]

Jøtul also have a very similar model to this. 45cm deep and one cook plate on top. I have two of them... No fancy features, just a solid cast iron box where wood goes in, smoke comes out :D Norwegian stoves are excellent indeed!

Dear Kris Harbour. 👍👌👏 Well done again! I especially like the fact that it is a recycled "heating system". In Germany this isn't allowed any more, Sigh! Everything is extremely overregulated by law and so called order. On the long run only rich people are able to survive that. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.

Love your videos Kris. Interested to know about any workshops you lead. I'm up the road in Carmarthen! You passed through my village a couple of months ago...

Such a cute stove. I love it with the door open. Maybe even a glass door. 👍 The stonework looks awesome!

[@talesfromthecaveside]

Couldn't agree more about using a cast iron stove because of the thermal mass that you already have. We have 2 small ones in our cave house, it took 3 or 4 days of use to heat it up & it now is a regular temperature to within a few degrees with 4/5 hours of top up by using just one of them. In the other house ( which is half cave, with a stone built top) we have lined the fireplace with slate and refractory cement to stop the lime behind it getting damaged. ( Nice to see you don't get your lime mix spot on every time either! Our mixes seem to be a bit of a lottery! )

[@GHOST-hf4fi]

Wood stove! This is like christmas to me lol

[@bearsharkp3901]

The mass on the side is very cool. I built a RMH in my residential garage years ago. It works. They're finicky. The greatest value was the radiant heat off the bell, honestly. When I build a house it will have a Russian style fireplace.

[@Jupitesign]

Very inspiring. Thanks Kris😃 and greetings from Australia 🌌
