Review of my Country Hearth model 2000 wood stove.

[@itsyurb0ylayy4]

Do you turn the air control all the way down?

[@ateamofone]

I have the same one for 7yrs now. Never had a problem. Glass always stays clean. We love it. I would recommend a straight up chimney for perfect draft and less creosote.

[@preppernurse1]

That's cool this is our 3rd winter with it and it works great.

[@haywire17]

Mine too. It's the only wood stove I've ever seen that doesn't soot up the glass. I read the owner's manual when I first bought it, and it said something about an "air wash system that keeps the glass from sooting"...I figured, yeah...right...but I love a glass door, so I bought it anyway...I'm so glad I did. They mean what they say about that "air wash". It directs a stream of air DOWN over the glass from the little holes up there, and the clearance of a "lip" close to the glass... Awesome design! I wish it had grates that dropped the ashes down into the pan automatically, but perhaps then the glass wouldn't stay clean...

[@rough-hewnhomestead4751]

We installed the same wood stove this year (our first wood stove) and we LOVE it so far! One of the best things we've done as far as homesteading. You're so correct.....safety and maintenance are VERY important!!

[@rough-hewnhomestead4751]

....we got ours on clearance last February for around $500...sounds like we got a good deal!

[@preppernurse1]

That's very cool and yes having heat is a big deal when your off grid.

[@preppernurse1]

Yes you did.

[@rough-hewnhomestead4751]

:) It was my husband's birthday gift! He installed a water catchment system for mine.

[@preppernurse1]

Rough-Hewn Homestead There is nothing wrong with that.

[@universallaw8850]

I bought this exact same stove almost 2 years ago and just installed it last week in my New Trailer home. I can't wait to light this bad boy up. People don't understand how important a wood stove is in the winter especially if the grid should ever go down.

[@preppernurse1]

That's for sure being able to stay warm can save your life.

[@bestofthebest2148]

Its beautiful...looks more like a traditional fireplace ...im gonna get one

[@judypeterson9952]

Does the stove get hot enough to cook on?

[@preppernurse1]

Yes more than hot enough.

[@lindamcconnell9441]

what a wonderful kid that gets up and feeds the fire. I love the way your children work along with you. I was single by the time my son was four. His Dad has an addiction problem. My son was always my best helper. I couldn't give him a lot of things but he had all of my love and as much time as was left over from working. He is 36 now and has always had a wonderful work ethic. I believe your children will too. So, great kids you have there. You must be doing something right. lol. Love your fire too. I hope you are very careful and would love to know what you do to keep embers from escaping your chimney. Our beautiful mountains are burning here in Tennessee. I watched and wept while thousands of acres burned in the Smokey Mountains this week. We have also lost Signal Mountain . It has been tragic.

[@preppernurse1]

Sorry to hear that with the fires I saw it on the weather channel. My kids are very squared away I am very lucky.

[@vamhot95]

We like ours, it heats wel. The only problem has been the center air tube. If a log bumps it when tossed on the fire, the tube keeps falling out of the hole it rests in. Of course we try not to bump it, but.... sometimes it happens and we can't fix it until the fire dies & things cool. Any suggestions to secure the tube?

[@stevew6138]

Ah, nothing like wood heat......... The window in the door is the next best thing to a camp fire. Real cool.

[@preppernurse1]

That is for sure.

[@preppernurse1]

***** That does help.

[@MOAONAABE]

how is the flue adapter attached to the top of the stove? i see the stovepipe is screwed in to the flange but how did you secure the flange to the stove plate?

[@charlesfields6284]

I have trouble getting the pull damper to provide enough air to burn the wood. Is the problem to much moisture in wood or the damper which pulls out and in easy

[@grandmapatty1493]

I love that you have a coffee pot on the stove. Hot coffee, tea, and soup are great on a wood burner. It also adds much needed moisture when we get those temps around zero, and your lips and skin dry up. Your view outside is nice too. I love all the pines. I have a gas fireplace, but it just isn't the same as a roaring crackling fire. Now I want some tea.

[@preppernurse1]

Well thank you we always have one going to put moisture in the air.

[@universallaw8850]

PN1 do you have a cool air pipe coming from the bottom opening on the stove I notice some people have one and some don't.

[@preppernurse1]

No I don't.

[@billydopp]

That’s for mobile homes

[@howtocreatesculptures6713]

Hi there, i just got this same stove and i was wondering if you keep a pan full of water on the stove so the room isnt too dry ? just wondering and learning thanks for the video it looks cool just watching the flames dancing around how peaceful : ), you must feel good at work knowing your family is nice n warm : )very cool !

[@howtocreatesculptures6713]

oh and do you make coffee on the top ? and what do i need to buy to make coffee a perculator type thing ? thanks !

[@cindybeck4015]

We have the same stove and love it. We have a 1200 sq Ft house and it works great. We do cook on ours works great for stews and soups. This stove in Michigan is about $400 to $500.

[@preppernurse1]

We cook on ours as well and I am glad you like it.

[@honestyfaithful]

great review on the stove thanks. but i have been wondering how did you fit a bathroom, living area, and 3 bedrooms in you tiny home ? we have been trying to work on it and have not been able to figure out how to get 3 bedrooms in where everyone has plenty of room, and their own private space. Your room seemed to be a good size when you had done a few videos their. thank you in advance for maybe a video of how you did your layout.

[@preppernurse1]

I could do a video on it to show you.

[@honestyfaithful]

that would be great thanks

[@erickkiessling5570]

I put one in place of an old worn out 70s era gas funnel stove. After using the funnel stove few months I discover my gas bill doubled and soot was collecting on the ceiling. So out with old and in with the new Being my fist wood stove there I don't know if it's good better or than others but it has paid for its that self first season in reduced heating. Bills. Just me and my ghetto life style.

[@preppernurse1]

We live and learn that's what its all about as long as you don't make the same mistakes again.

[@shriaingnama]

Good job. I already bought myself a model 2000 for my 560 square feet loft. My Jotul Petite I replaced was beautiful, but I had to load it multiple times in the night. In effect that was not wonderful. It was amusing when you showed up tattooed and uncovered, up close and personal. I just lit my new stove for the first time, I'm already warmer.

[@preppernurse1]

If I am hot my shirt is off. lol

[@shriaingnama]

Excellent.

[@alicelewis7261]

love your wood stove wish mine looked like it love the fire place look

[@preppernurse1]

Thank you.

[@dropedlow33]

[@preppernurse1]

Thank you we do work as a team and I have very good kids.

[@glenokla2588]

I love your stove. Its so beautiful! It looks so warm, cozy, & peaceful. Very good review.

[@preppernurse1]

Thank you very much.

[@RandyPanco]

Thanks I love it. That is just about right for my house. neeed to keep it warm for my Boy Rocster (four leged Family member )

[@preppernurse1]

Its not a bad price at all and works great.

[@RandyPanco]

price is better then what I was looking at and half size too Thanks again for the great info.

[@preppernurse1]

Randy Panco Your very welcome.

[@paulslocomb6805]

I thought I saw one of those heat generated/ run fan's do you have one if so could you please show how it works ? thanks for a great review of the wood stove!

[@preppernurse1]

paul slocomb I have a propane heater that I can use but I am not sure what your talking about.

[@TheBeaver50]

Thank you for the review . I just bought mine at tractor supply . They have them right now for 20% off , It was 550 dollars . My house is only 1000 SQ feet and already has the chimney and all that running up through the walls from the previous owner having a woodstove . I'm not sure how much it's going to cost to get a professional in here to inspect and install it .

[@georgia6458]

You're doing great! Looks so cozy! I'm getting a cook stove from my friend at work! She has to downsize, lucky me! Sadly, it will be just a dust collector till I figure out how to make it safe for cooking and heating. Keep up the good work.

[@preppernurse1]

That's a good score and good luck with it.

[@JamieHitt]

Grew up with an old Earth Stove. Best thing since sliced bread. Circulate the air, maintain a respectable inside humidity, and you could heat the Taj Mahal with it.

[@preppernurse1]

They are great to have.

[@solarpowerelectricityandel2915]

nice work

[@preppernurse1]

Thank you.

[@gilestramp8880]

Nice wood stove bud

[@preppernurse1]

Thank you very much.

[@bobjohnson8628]

it would put out a hell of lot more heat if u had a secondary burn system in it. u can find it right here on u tube.

[@amydavis8350]

I love the look of this stove, is it the working at it's most efficient capacity?

[@preppernurse1]

It works to well we have to open windows all the time.

[@raykarl2119]

Why is the ash pan pulled out?

[@preppernurse1]

It was not pulled out.

[@madellinesantana9386]

Ed how much you pay for the pipe kit?

[@preppernurse1]

I think it was about 250.00

[@mjoinga]

Maybe when you need to clean the stove pipes out you can give us a demonstration. If i got a wood stove i wouldn't know where to begin.

[@preppernurse1]

I can do that.

[@MikeBrownOhio]

Still heat with wood...Our home has never seen anything besides wood and coal for heat...

[@preppernurse1]

That's very cool.

[@MikeBrownOhio]

preppernurse1 and warm...LoL...

[@preppernurse1]

Mike Brown Indeed

[@buddylight2191]

You could change that blower on the stove to a 12 volt blower and run it off batteries?

[@preppernurse1]

I don't need to use it at all.

[@micawber8542]

Worst stove I've ever used. All you get done is feeding it. Forget all night, no embers in the morning.

[@markmathews5117]

Are you lucky enough to always have dry wood and will It burn wood that's a little wet?
