What a great-looking kitchen!

[@maryhart637]

The landscape surrounding your cabin in winter look like your woodblock art!

[@criscavi19]

Great! keep going so well.

I built an in ground solar greenhouse, On the south facing glass I built insulated reflective walls that I could raise on predicted cold nights. That might work for your massive glass wall.

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Dreaming of that , one day!!

[@jimvierengel8293]

You’re both incredibly patient and talented! Your hard work is paying off and it all looks great so far!

[@karenkilba2907]

It’s just amazing what you both have accomplished! Your videos are a pleasure to watch. So inspiring!

Try wool blankets on any doors and windows that need extra insulation. Maybe consider something for snow melt.... a pot with a pipe in the bottom. Have pot up high near the top of the stove with a pipe running to a catchment so as it melts it can drip and run into a storage container and you can keep adding snow without emptying the pot. Plus as it drips into the catchment you can add some kind of filter. Can make the pot movable to put away when not needed.

Beautiful house, and amazing stove

[@LampWaters]

Beautiful.

The firebox either needs to be firebrick or, (not as good) it can be regular brick if you coat a 1/2 inch of high heat, refractory mortar / cement ontop of ALL the bricks in the fire chamber to protect them. The firebrick should last for 10 years.... the other... maybe 2 years? Why not a fresh "coat" every year and fill all the holes. High heat cement / mortar can be rated to 2000 degrees I think.

So inspired following your journey

Winter wonderland 🌨❄️ You achieved a lot this year 👍 Happy New Year 🎆🎊

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

ah thank you!

I'm considering connecting my outdoor kitchen with my pond.... make a tub in between the pond and outdoor kitchen so I can pump in water and circulate through the fire box of the kitchen and back to the tub. Make it so I can keep circulation once full or add water or send it back to the pond. In between the kitchen and potential tub is a raised garden bed that I'll be putting a half hoop house over it... if needed the water pipes can run through the garden/winter greenhouse to the tub and also keep the garden warm. I doubt I'd cook much outside at a time that it's cold but if we wanted to use winter hot tub outside as a byproduct the garden to get warmed up🤷‍♀️ or anytime we cook outside I could choose to circulate heated water pipes through the garden. Might be nice in early spring to do starts in the hoop house and do some outdoor cooking, like a pizza oven and it will also warm soil for early spring starts. 🤷‍♀️ Could be set up to do outdoor laundry too and make it so I have options if where to drain the tub. Plus if connection to heat I can always add filter and even boil if I needed potable water. I'm putting a spliter on a water tap from bathroom and running it out the window so I can have a hot/cold tap for outdoor kitchen. We have a side alley along the house I'm putting in outdoor shower/mud/dog/foot shower space next to a bench/sink to clean fish and then lead into our outdoor kitchen. So would be nice for 2 outdoor hot water options. One from tap, one from pond and wood fire. We smoke lots if meat too so I want to build a new smoker and utilize all that heat potential as best I can. Have it confined when needed but circulate through other chambers we can control if we want to cook more things while smoker is going. Have some secondary ovens and burners we can open up if needed.

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

You're mind seems to be working quite similar to mine -making al those connections and stacking functions where possible. Sounds awesome. If you ever implement that first system, let me know how it works!! Do you have some drawings or examples of that smoker you're planning for?

[@LampWaters]

@@The.Land.of.Slow.Living Sketches kind of, and a collection of videos. My husband is the chef, smoke master. He worked cooking meats with just wood for almost 10 years. He's had a few metal smokers his brother made but we wanted to redesign. But we are going to build something diff instead. Plan is to merge his cooking and smoking with my building and design and hopefully come up with the finer details together. Want a fire box that can be open to enjoy like a fireplace if we wanted. Have that to the side of an oven. Pizza oven and smoker circulate different. So have both build into one oven with firebox on side. When it's a pizza oven put coals/fire in the pizza itself (chimney in front) when it's a smoker the smoke comes from back and chimney In front (fire box on side feeds a pipe in back that can be blocked off with a stone when not in use) get 2 different options in one build. We will want a larger smoker too and will either have a barrel or little house. We have a barrel now but not large enough if my husband occasionally smokes meat for a wedding he can't get everything in the barrel. I'm reviewing different set ups for that. The second smoker would only be for very large occasions. The pizza/smoker would be more regular use. Next to the pizza/smoker I want a hearth, a large hearth. We like to grill too. So we want a big big hearth we can create separate stations for food on one hearth, one spot to burn wood and create coals, move coals to different stations for different types of food and have it be a cross between charcoal bbq/fireplace/hearth.... I'll post a few videos in the comments here of some of our inspiration. I'm trying to get it all lined up along an alley and wrap around our patio. With added counter top space on either side of the hearth. Considering a metal tool cleaner tub from harbor freight for an outdoor sink. On a stand, has spray nosel, deep sink, lid closes over the entire top making a counter. Has a route 66 kinda vibe to it. Know what we want just gathering resources of materials and videos and will sketch it out and see what happens. My husband says I can't start a new project until I finish old projects. Working on my swim pond so I'm not allowed to start building until I finish my pond. But dirt from pond dig ruined my garden so I'll be fixing that. But by next spring I hope to start playing around with outdoor kitchen. We love cooking with wood.

WOW beautiful can't wait to see you move in best of luck : )

[@lisadarby5862]

It’s looking good ❤️

[@BrendaLelie]

Een heel gelukkig nieuwjaar!! Het huis wordt echt heel prachtig en ik vind het heel dapper dat jullie de keuken helemaal zelf bouwen. Ik moest wel een beetje glimlachen dat je al een spiegel ging ophangen. Maar ik begrijp dat ook heel goed. Een beetje sfeer heeft ook prioriteit.

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

haha, ja er is veel ongeduld om het af te werken! 🙃 Ook voor jullie, een gezegend 2022!

[@Mr203085]

How are the chickens doing in this cold weather? Hope they can keep warm.

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

They don't like the snow! Just sitting inside their coop snuggly together. We have to bring them fresh water twice a day when it freezes, so we keep an eye on them. I think they will spend next winter in a passive solar greenhouse so they have more indoor space.

[@RVBadlands2015]

Happy New Year. 🎆 You have accomplished so much this past year. The Strawbale is coming along nicely. What type of insulation did you use in the ceiling of your Strawbale. I was wondering when you would have a video out. Can you put styrofoam panels between the door like a sandwich. Can you use the sawdust in the earth and plaster.

[@The.Land.of.Slow.Living]

Hi there! Happy new year to you too
