THE ULTIMATE WOOD STOVE SYSTEM

This is one bada$$ stove system. It's super thick steel and weighs hundreds of pounds. It's strong enough to survive the apocalypse and will last decades. It's a handmade system that was welded together by a master welder on the East Coast of Canada. Now it lives in the far north of the country and it's being used in far-flung tiny tent that sits in the vast, freezing wilderness.
Tonight I am setting up the full stove system with the addition of an oven.
I brought the oven all the way across Canada with me in a bag smothered in duct tape. And now it's ready for heart homemade meals.

[@whitefrog2]

The oven adds quite a lot of surface area to radiate more of the heat that would usually go up and out of the chimney. You may find that you need to burn less wood or burn the fire even slower now and still get the same results. Awesome addition to an already great stove!

[@bythesea550]

So you regulate oven temp by less wood and more heat. Ty for your post I was wondering about heat control and you are right on!😊

[@JRush374]

Leave the door open when you're not using the oven. I'd add a mechanism to keep the door open at a few different angles for heat control when cooking.

[@marktaylor8263]

That oven Jerry made is awesome. Biscuits, Bannic, banana nut bread, pizza, the possibilities are endless. Great little trip.

[@jaylegere]

Oh yes!

[@trudyrix4618]

Gerry is the master. What a great job. Great to see you back home Jay. Looks like the snow is starting to thaw a little. Can’t wait for the next instalment. 👍

[@chriscmoor]

Put door on both ends of the oven and, when it's not baking food, it becomes a high efficiency heat exchanger. You might even put one of those stirling engine fans in it to move the hot air.

[@timwagner9170]

Not just an oven .. another heating chamber. Always ready to bake. Cool. Nice to see what the thermometer reads when working!

[@jaylegere]

You got that right!

[@joehajek5576]

Your great grandchildren will still be using that stove and oven. Built right!

[@eliworley6804]

Jay you are certainly one amazing guy. The joy you get out of everything you do and get just makes me in such a good mood. I never get tired of seeing your video's

[@johnspruit7296]

Jay old FRIEND , as always your photography is superb , as well as your background music . Always so soothing. The new oven will be endless fun experimenting with and add even more efficiency to the heating capability. Hope to see you out with your daughter again before the end of winter. Just yesterday we got a good dumping of snow , but its melting a bit each day. This last week the Ducks and Canada Geese made there first appearance. Spring is almost here . Stay Safe on the ice . Sudbury Ontario .

[@tonydoe877]

The wife and I are laying in a motel room watching your video! We are looking at log cabins today that we’re going to have on our own property. She was just talking about cooking on the woodstove. Loved your video, so we subscribed.

[@jaylegere]

Awesome! And congrats on the property and future cabin. Take care, Tony.

[@TheWilkReport]

Dude, Jerry is a freakin' master stovemaker. You are blessed indeed!

[@elwoodtaylor1092]

Very nice oven you got there Jay, looks like Jerry did it again with a new addition to the already handy dandy wood stove, no gas needed and always ready when the fire is going and the northern light show was amazing as usual, thanks Jay

[@jaylegere]

You got that right!

[@tamirew9247]

You present as such a warm, thankful person. I’m so glad that you have a Jerry in your life. You deserve it. I would love to have a Jerry in my life.

[@samhill3496]

God vid, sure it is fun being back. The oven is like the radiators used around the world in the cold climates such as yours. Use a lot more of the heat just going up the pipe. Now you can put the potatoes on before you build the fire. Have them ready. Oiled and wrapped in aluminum foil. Opens up a whole new cooking world for you. Stuffed peppers things like that. Livin' like a king. Take care be safe. Glad you turned it around. That's the way I thought it should be when I first saw it. Can't lay with fire in the middle of nowhere.

[@jaylegere]

Awesome comment, Sam! Jay

[@suebrown3465]

The tent still looks bright,fresh and neat..a welcome sight when you arrive! Gerry is the “stove wizard”. Well made and the little oven is smart. Really nice drone view of your tent and the northern lights..never disappoints It won’t be long until you’re in the in-between time of snowmobile and canoe Until the next time..take care 🇨🇦❤️

[@edstoneghost8475]

That oven addition is a type of heat recovery system that's able to provide additional heat into your tent. It seems that extra heat was going out your chimney in the past before the oven was added. It's a win-win situation having an instant oven plus having additional heat radiated into your tent.

[@charlessettles2540]

That whole assembly is just priceless. You’ve got yourself the “gold standard” right there.

[@jaylegere]

I couldn't agree more. I am very appreciative of what I have here.

[@1bag]

Turning it to the side made it more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing... 👍 Not to mention how well it performs

[@BigH75]

Very cool looking stove Jay! Gerry is quite talented. You are lucky to have someone like him in your life.

[@pamelaspurrell8067]

That oven is the cutest thing I ever seen..... bravo to Jerry!! Good to have you back too Btw!!!!!

[@jaylegere]

It's cute... and tough too!

[@dr_tomK]

I'm one of the 18%. Great channel Jay. When i can't find a new video to scratch the itch, I'll watch an old one. Glad I caught this episode.

[@TheGrizOutdoors]

I just absolutely love your get away in winter wonderland. I need to do this for next year.

[@Stinger9516]

It’s always great to see how excited you get to do things! Most people would just look at that as another piece they can use. You look at it and see so much more like a kid getting their first Swiss Army knife.

[@jaylegere]

This addition really means a lot to me, and the more I used it, the more I loved it. I'm very lucky

[@tedhockstad243]

Gerry is quite the master fabrication guru. He is amazing at design and bring that design to life. So to speak. Welcome back to the tent Jay. Great to see you again.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks so much, Ted. It's great to be back at the tent.

[@Heroesworkshop]

That oven is incredible. I love how it has the inner channel for the airflow.

[@jaylegere]

Yep! It's a very slick design.

[@juditate111]

I think Gerry is a genius. That oven on top of the woodstove is great and it makes even more of the heat; a win-win situation. Glad you had a good home visit. It is always good to spend time with the people who care about us the most.

[@jaylegere]

He had a lot to offer there is no doubt!

[@marianfrances4959]

Go Jerry!! What an awesome oven for an awesome stove! Yes, you are one lucky man. 👍😎🇨🇦🔥 Still snowing here in Southern Alberta.

[@shortsweettoo]

You should open a company and make your Step-Dad's designed stove and oven combos. You would both make a fortune. That's what I think. 😊Great video.

[@Gigawatts-gy9ih]

When I saw you with the new oven. I said to myself. That thick steal is going to put out a crazy amount of more heat in the tent.

[@HayzeeHayes]

Oh my word a stove oven! I thought it was gonna be a new Jackery! What a great addition. Love it Jay always great to have both options anyway of log burner or propane.

[@theresecahill]

Yahoo! Another great video! Boy Jay if you’re not aware already Gerry thinks the world of you - remember he said he wouldn’t make another oven for anyone? Shows how special you are to him and he’s a master craftsman. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️💕🌈♿️🦄✊🏿

[@hazeltucker4576]

Gerry is very talented 👍🏼 Welcome back Jay

[@jaylegere]

Thank you!

[@coolpat71]

That oven is a work of art!! I think Jerry needs to set up a reserve system to build stoes and ovens. Get some of the boys in the big land to help him out.

[@deanmartin9358]

watching for a second time jay you cant beat cooking on that stove

[@jaylegere]

Thanks for helping with the algorithm!

[@blazerprophet]

What a cool oven. Some things can't be cooked at 600 deg. but you'll find a way to manage it. Looks like the best release from life possible.

[@jaylegere]

Hopefully this will make a mean pizza!

[@blazerprophet]

@@jaylegere Yes and use lots of sausage.

[@davea1771]

THE WOLF SWEATER!! Aa-ooooooooooh! Glad to see you made it back home Jay, and with a nifty 'care package' for the stove too. I'm thinking we'll be seeing a lot of that oven in the future. Can't wait to see what sort of ingenious uses you find for it. Was thinking you could heat a pot of water in there while you eat, then you'll be able to mix it with a bit of snow to get less-hot water for dish washing after you're done eating. I'm sure you'll think of other things too. I'd say you can be darn proud of your tent design. It's lasted a long time in some harsh conditions and looks like it will last for a lot longer. A home away from home.

[@stephanelachance6195]

Yeah that add on oven is priceless !! This is a life long keeper. Anyone watching this video and doing this type of camping will absolutely want one . Thanks Jay for another awesome video. Take care

[@vic2265]

I added a very similar oven to my woodstove built nice and heavy like yours and found that not only did I enjoy the oven but I found that my wall tent warmed up much faster and my stove drafted much hotter and I actually needed to keep the stove dampened down to control heat.I added an eco fan off the oven as well so all in all a great addition. Not sure if it was extending the pipe or the heat transfer from the oven itself but it worked out great! I hope you see same results. Great video and keep em coming!

[@kitobi10660]

the new stove looks amazing, great craftmanship, you could also add a magnetic woodstove fan to the side of the new stove and it would push warm air around the tent for free, keep living the dream :)

[@lauram5518]

Been with you since the beginning. You’ve come along way my friend. Always awesome videos and always watching for when the next one comes out!

[@kyle_veld]

I love the oven! It's nice it has a grate for the food to sit on so it doesn't burn the bottom of your food. I was thinking of suggesting turning it to the side too, then you don't have to reach over the hot stove. Awesome to see you back a the tent! P.S. I love the drone footage!

[@lcren7639]

The northern lights on are my bucket list to see in person!! And for someone who was born in North Dakota and raised in Montana surprisingly I never got to see them before I moved to Oklahoma!!!!! And you get to see it so often, jealous!!!

[@jamesbrown7521]

When you unwrapped that stove hookup I was almost as geeked about it as you were!

[@aileentavernia5073]

Hi Jay The new oven is great addition to your stove. It's looks wonderful. Happy cooking in it. Can't wait to see new meals... Thankyou for the awesome video

[@jaylegere]

Thanks 👍

[@walterlamb4756]

That oven is outstanding, and appears to work perfectly!!

[@jaylegere]

It's definitely a great addition to the tent.

[@billmonroe8826]

7018 is a good rod that makes a good bead. Kudos to that guy that built it.

[@jayolson578]

Now with that new oven you could make a meatloaf and bake during the day eat in the evening after a day outside and next day have leftover meatloaf sandwiches. Awesome new addition to the tent and camp.

[@Cthenerd88]

That oven is genius! I've never seen one like that before so cool. It sounds like he arc welded it, which I have done before and it is not easy work especially with thick steel. It may be a bummer that winter is coming to an end, but your winter paradise is also a summer paradise too so We won't be disappointed with any summer activities you share with us! ❤

[@terryattewell5842]

Congrats on the new oven Jay. Can't wait to see what different foods you cook in it

[@annettem749]

Fantastic oven! Gerry is amazing seemingly at everything he does! I have been a subscriber for quite a long time, I enjoy your videos. I Live in Toronto. Your videos let me escape for a little bit. Thank you for your content Jay!!

[@scunty7423]

I didn’t think that stove could get any better but boy howdy was I wrong. Excellent addition to the best. Great video yet again, Jay. Be well.

[@lorrainemacleod5953]

Jay, you’re making me hungry! Really enjoyed the Labrador visit, made me envious! The oven is awesome and I’m sure we’ll see some great recipes in the future 😀👍Dave

[@whiteclouddakota1451]

SO good too see you again and such phenomenal content!!!!! Love your Stove!😊

Just installed my Northwoods fabrication stove. I need this oven in my life.

[@nickkatchmar5408]

You’re videos are the best Jay. So peaceful and relaxing. Thanks for sharing.

[@niallbyrne7562]

Thats the coolest oven I've ever seen. Great job. I'm going to my workshop tomorrow to make one of these badboys ! Thanks for the inspiration Jay ✌️

[@stephendawe1220]

Wow. Ready dandy oven. One thing I have been using for years to light my fires with are take out cup trays or egg cartoons. Works really well. Love your videos. Cheers

[@jaylegere]

Great tip!

[@sandratweedale2579]

Nobody on YT makes a hotdog look as good as you do Jay, or well pretty much anything else you cook at camp ⛺️ ❤

[@dingo5208]

Love that oven! It's ingenius, handy and well built. Cudo's to your step dad. That stove will just enhance your cooking at the camp. Enjoy your remaining time. You're makin me so hungry!

The tent just keeps getting better!

[@jonsymmonds1120]

Nice stove seems to work great. That area is so beautiful. Thank You.

[@duncanm6589]

Jerry’s new oven is incredible and I am sure a great addition Jay, lucky you. Like others have said I am amazed they watch and are not subscribed. The other thing that amazes me is how some channels have heaps of views yet the same people don’t click the like button. I think is the least you can do if you watch someone’s video to click it and help them out. Jay, you alway get a like from me, all the way from Australia. Another top video. Thanks

[@davidgornick87]

Love the new oven. He's a master!!! Also, the paper towel bun & bread toasting idea. I never would have thought of that. Great video.

[@nessday1821]

Thankyou Jay! Another beautiful video. I really look forward to your uploads. I love that you are so positive, and that you see goodness in everything. I really appreciate your hard work. Thankyou 🙏

[@scooterhughes9118]

Great video! I love the stove and oven. The guy that built the stove and oven knows what he's doing. I'm a welder myself but not a fabricator. That stove and oven will last time!

[@patbeaudoin4237]

I love the new oven Gerry is a master craftsman his suggestion to turn it was a good idea.Those hotdogs looked so good. Nice to see you back at the tent.🙂🇨🇦👍👍👍👍👍

[@maryayers9839]

I love the oven it's amazing what your stepdad can do thank you for letting us come along with you may God bless you everyday of your life

What a great addition to the tent. Wonder how it would do with making biscuits? What a master stove maker Jerry is. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

[@badlandsg215]

Super awesome oven and the design matches perfectly almost as if it came together like that….food looks amazing too lol

[@jaylegere]

Thank you 😋

[@Paul_Lane]

Really enjoy the cinematic touches you add to your videos. It puts them in a category above most I watch. Cool oven idea, glad it worked so well.

[@janaf3813]

Clean lines versus functionality. Functionality will win almost everytime.

[@aberhan]

Stovepipe ovens, been around for at least 50 years that I know of and I expect probably a whole lot longer than that. They work pretty good, better than no oven for sure.

[@MegaSusanc]

Awesome as always Jay. Yes you said it you are blessed to have a good man like Jerry in your life, he has a lot of talent. I guessed correctly I just knew that Jerry made you a oven to go with the Stove he made you. Because when you went back to Labrador to visit Jerry and he was explaining his stove and oven to you and you were saying how awesome it was, I just knew he was going to make you an oven and it far exceeds any other oven it gorgeous looks awesome and works well plus it helps heat up the tent even better. Thanks for sharing with us and thank you for all the hard work and time you put into your videos. They are magnificent. Stay awesome Jay.

[@bitofun2]

Love the oven! I was waiting for you to say it's like having a second stove. I knew it immediately. I'm trying to think of a bottom insulator, for more of a roasting function. I'm thinking meatloaf, remote thermometer cable thing they have. I have a instant read digital with a plug in remote thermometer. Poke it in the meat inside stove and way you go. Fast melt snow, quick boil water, who knows what you'll think of for it. Love it.

[@jaylegere]

The heat coming out of it was definitely like a mini stove.

[@Ben-311]

Stove system is impressive. Looks cool as well!

I think so too!

That oven is amazing. It puts everything right in front of you. So handy. Plus the extra heat you will enjoy. It’s fantastic. Well done!!

[@sandrataylor3723]

Well, your little cabin in the woods is a wonderful getaway. A home away from home. Now, during the summer months, all you need to do to continue to enjoy that little cabin is add an air conditioner. Move the stove/oven outside and then you'll have a cozy cool getaway for you and your girlfriend and daughter. By the way, the oven that Jerry made for you, was just what you needed to make your cabin complete for the winter.

[@oathtaker2768]

Gerry is the man and master craftsmen.

[@ericlang8895]

Hello Jay, The new oven setup is just what you needed! An impressive, smartly made. It is like a double oven, and seems to cook safely, and quickly, and a great addition to your tent. I am sure you will start to gauge fuel as to maximize what is needed for an efficient new addition! I hope you are warmer, and more comfortable! Well Jay you stayed long enough to get it set up, and give it a test run. Jerry out in Labrador really knows his stuff! A really good video, thanks Jay! Peace!

[@jaylegere]

Thanks for commenting, Eric. I'm definitely lucky to be able to use this stove and oven.
