The Weather is FRIGHTFUL, The Woodstove DELIGHTFUL!

[@debbiecole7005]

Beautiful herd of cows!

[@sandraengstrand2784]

How nice for the flock in Waddlesville to have trees to play and hide and stay warm in 💕🌲♥️

[@julienasett499]

Love the way the cattle come to you, even when you don't have a treat for them. Your videos are so fun to watch and I can learn a lot from you both. Keep cozy and warm by your wood burning stove. God bless you both.

A righteous man regards the life of his beast.

[@kathykups7962]

Congratulations to you both on 800 thousand been here from the beginning ❤❤❤

[@BrianMacMusicVideos]

My rescue French BullDog just loves sitting on the end of my recliner and watches all the animals.. He specially loves your new calf.. I have pictures of him episode after episode... Sitting with his ears up and at full attention.. Would love to send you a picture or 2.. You have a fan by the name of "Gus".. He was a God send.. someone set him on our back porch last March 1st. He still had puppy breath and baby teeth coming in... Anyway, he loves sitting with me watching your awesome Homestead projects.. Cheers Y'all..

[@carolynchatham6376]

No matter the season or weather you make sure the animals and homestead is ready for whatever comes your way.

[@sharonmccroskey1847]

Always enjoy your videos. So much love between a husband and wife just so nice to see.

[@chrisgalvin6703]

Just wanted to say, have a blessed day🙏🏻

[@gregglenn9688]

Farm Animals are so fun to watch - We have backyard chickens and it makes me smile when they come running when they think we have a treat for them.

[@clarepeterson4765]

What a great video. Loved seeing the quail enjoy their new hiding spaces within the trees and the cattle look so healthy and calm. What great stewards you both are. I love watching your videos. God Bless!

[@patty9265]

I really respect the way you treat all your animal's. You two go above and beyond for them. And great video on the woodstove.

[@auntiepam5649]

I like the way you are raising your quail now.

[@betsybragg858]

❤Love and blessings❤

[@gailthrone4426]

loved how Kevin referred to talking to the cows. lol They are loved. Sure enjoy watching all of your adventures. Blessings, Gail

[@shannonschneider8599]

I just love ya guys..you are the example of a great husbsnd and wife team. God bless you and your homestead❤

[@YamIa3gypsy]

You guys have taken “creature comforts” to a whole new level!

[@hardenmama1800]

My parents built a ranch house with a full basement. They had a wood stove in the basement and didn’t insulate the floor so the heat just came up through the floor.

[@johnr3603]

I call that a good f--- up. Unless it was on purpose!

[@marybethham4967]

We love our wood stove. Got ours from Hechler Hearth and Home in Troy, Missouri. We also had our pro installed. Your cows are just beautiful and so sweet looking. You all always taking good care of all your animals. Enjoy the wood heat, it’s great.

[@josephg.3370]

I bought a woodstove from as well. I'm now saving money to have a chimney installed.

[@cmitchell7347]

Congrats on hitting 800K! Always enjoy your videos.

[@rogerpultz5597]

Really enjoyed watching 👍👍

[@happyheartgardening]

Those quail are mighty happy now:) It was so sweet seeing the one pup in the doorway:)

[@catherinehunter3509]

Thanks for the information on wood heater. Loved the quails

[@fallenangelwi25]

We dream of the day we will buy a wood stove. Great informational video!!! Having the prepared mindset and not the financial backing can often be frustrating.

[@maureenhargrave3568]

I make my own fire starters, too. I take old wax from candles melt them down, pour the wax into a big muffin tin that I got at the thrift store and place pinecones on top of each one. Sometimes when I have a lot of wax, I will dip the pinecones in wax first. cheap, cost-effective, recycled. I have also placed these pieces in baskets and use them as hostess gifts to friends that have woodburning fireplaces.

[@samanthaw1419]

ha ha, me too! I often Make muffin cases with wood shavings in one colour and dip pine cones in another. lovely gift when placed in a tin with pretty matches.

[@sandieweatherup]

Thanks for showing the stove. 🥰

[@susanray6533]

Thank you for the fire stove lesson. I plan on getting one soon. Love the cattle helping you with the trees. We had an angus when I was a kid that was so tame we rode her and took her over the horse jumps. She was a hoot.

[@paulamay362]

Our woodstove is also delightful! We love to cook on it!

[@renaetawney5217]

Love our wood stove. The heat that comes from it is so different than our propane heater. And I like the fact that it heats up the bricks and they stay warm. We restart in the morning also.

[@dewaynewillis7992]

Kevin & Sara, Hey there. Quick note. Kevin spoke of the old old pine tree. When a pine tree gets old like the one he showed-it is not good for saw logs. It is called a bull pine. It is of no value $ wise. It looks good to look at. Have a wonderful day. I love you. Dewayne Willis

[@roxannecarson2814]

I would love to have a wood stove. We have a fireplace, and two propane gas stoves. I always think it is good to have the option of wood burning stoves for the “in case” power outage. Gas is going up too, so the savings would be nice too. 😁😁🙌🙌

[@rodneywelch3556]

Good morning from Maine! We are now getting the snow / rain that you got yesterday. We burn wood as well. I like getting the small limbs cut for kindling. Also the stump left from cutting the tree is what we cut and use as chunk wood. Love and hugs

[@ronniepate4315]

I love warming up beside a wood heater . Thanks for sharing .

[@kaybusby7507]

Good information kevin, stay safe and warm. Nothing feels better than a warm fire.

[@hobbithause9481]

Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

[@canyoudigit9369]

Colder temperatures are expected, be safe!

[@tinahurley1316]

You can also use dryer lint and wax or vaseline. You both look amazing with your weight loss! I can really see it in your face Kevin! Keep up the great work ❤

[@Linda-zi1ds]

Great video. Love the cows!

[@ritasnider2998]

Love watching you guys

[@kcs.farm09]

Good Morning! Definitely cold temp here in MO. We also have a wood Stove and it feel so good to have them going in these cold Temps! Also been following yall for years now. And I must say you both are aging backwards!! Yall look healthy!

[@cyrusneal7697]

Awesome idea on the fire starters. We use our lint from the dryer and old candle wax for fire starters. I’ll put the lint in paper egg cartons then pour the wax over it. Cut a section of the carton and lite the carton or lint. 😊

[@greggmoldovan1165]

Love the horns on the side by side.

[@jeangurnee]

We had quail in our yard around the perimeter and I loved seeing them (and hearing them) but I didn't know about habitat and we cleaned up some of the shrubs and they went away. I have left the shrubs alone last season and we heard a few this fall....hoping they come back strong, now that I know better! Not allowed to keep them as pets (HOA) but I can encourage them to live here naturally.

[@lindab2144]

We got 4'' of snow overnight. It's still coming down..my pantry is stocked, our "wood" monster is keeping us nice & warm. We are 50 miles from the big city where we have to go to shop. Have a great day. I'm going to put my tree in the coop for my chickens. I'm sure they'll love it. Thanks for the great tip.

[@robingirven4570]

We had a wood boiler - outdoors - for 35 years. When we moved to the family farm, no wood boiler. We retired. Less work all around!

[@debrezo58]

Love you guys💖

[@johnlord8337]

That wood stove makes for a very great humidifier - with a pressure cooker/canner and water placed on top. The stove heats up the pressure cooker which then spews out pressurized steam. Steam has a very high heat-retention - keeping the house warmer with less energy expended. Also steam in the house for those very dry and cold blustery winters - humidifies the dry house air, but also the sinus and lungs - preventing dry nose, dry eyes, colds, influenza, and pneumonia. Any addition of any desirable essential oils - apple/cinnamon, peppermint, mint, orange also provides healing and healthy humidified air - and the atomized essential oils also keep down any airborne dust (soil blight virus and hay dust, dandruff, ...) and other bacterial/germ/viral/mold/mildew/fungal diseases wafting around - and is also a good ridder of small critters that might want to take up winter residency in the warm house - spiders, mites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants, termites, earwigs, flies, lice, louse (hopefully not ticks) ... (just saying !!).

[@preschoolhomestead]

Your set up for the quail is really neat. Like you said, it's like being in the woods!

[@mskippi]

Michigan here, our church school is having a snow day. We volunteer to tutor kids for math so we can relax today too

[@ralpharvin2668]

This is our 45th winter using our Fisher "Grandpa Bear" wood burning stove, and Kevin, I used to do the same thing as you - getting up at night and adding more firewood. I don't do that anymore, I just have an ample fire at bedtime and get it started again next morning. We also have electric heat and a propane fireplace, but the wood stove is our main heat. Enjoy the videos. Say hi to Ralphy from Ralphy in Berea, Ky.

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Ralphy says hi back! lol

[@barbaragiesbrecht6004]

Another great video, Kevin and Sarah! God bless you guys in all you do. 💕🙏🇨🇦

[@stephanieg5195]

Always remember to check yourself after you’ve been around the Cedar trees, perhaps even the pine trees because ticks like to climb on the branches… At least, in Montana, they do! they can rub off on you extremely easily.

[@paulchauvin840]

When you first get to the cows to get branches, it looks like that one cow is looking at you and the camera wondering, “Why is he talking to that thing?” 😂

[@bonnieingraham6147]

Great video and tips. Recent tip we learned for starting a fire is using tortilla chips. Just 5 or so under your kindling works great!! Also great to have while your camping :) Also, if you run your house furnace fan, it will spread the heat throughout the house better, avoiding hot spots. Fan alone uses very little electricity.

[@RB-fw4zj]

I grew up with wood heat, no furnace of any kind, no fan, no problem. Put in my own wood stove as an adult was told the same thing, run your HVAC fan. Well that only works when you have a central return. My house has returns in every room, so that meant the coldest rooms had the cold air sucked out of them and blown throughout the house. I only did that one winter and realized I was wasting electricity and compromising the work of my wood stove. Ever since, I just have two pedestal fans set up, one in the foyer to suck the heat from the living room and the other at the end of the hall to keep the heat moving through the house. It works much better and my entire house is more than comfortable. Couple that with a ceiling fan or two and we wouldn't trade our wood stove for any other source of heat.

[@Coccinelf]

You can also get heat activated fans, they ar small though.

[@trybjkt]

Thanks for the great video.

[@lovelearning7467]

I like Pork Chop. Good name.

[@GladEOlah]

I am watching this video on1/10/24 and it was ironic when you showed the clip of the wood stove the clock on your wall was exactly at the time on my clock. It was like I was watching you live. I live on the other side of MO and our weather forecast is for snow coming in a couple of days. Thank you for your videos I have enjoyed them since you started them.

[@renabarnett2238]

Cows are trying to picket! They want CAKE man! 😊

[@trpatt1969]

That's one heck of a hill there!!

[@rcjo2]

That wood stove is quite the beast! I have a smaller one, but it does well in my smaller house. I like all the adjustments you have on that one. As far as schools shutting down, I had to chuckle a bit. They hardly ever close schools here in the north. We'd have to get a couple feet, and even then, they might just open a couple hours late to wait for the plows to clear the bus routes. 😅 As usual, awesome informative video. Stay warm!

[@chrismcpherson1204]

We have a 2nd Winter Storm hitting us on Saturday & Sunday here in Huntingdon County Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸

[@ruthmcewuen2086]

Love seeing cows.

[@stephencameron1709]

Great video again. I always learn new things and so enjoy your animals. ❤️🙏🏻Val C

[@wdwtx2.0]

Brrrrrrrrrrr. Winter is here.

[@jennifercole5788]

Great video! Kevin you look like you feel so much healthier and stronger, it is nice to see you move with ease. Keep warm and enjoy each other.

[@lindamckeny876]

I love the idea of your homemade fire starter. You guys have come up with the most creative ideas and tips. Love your channel.

[@bartsexton1652]

Hey Kevin you can also save your dryer lent and use that for a fire starter . And it’s Free

[@kimdewbre8859]

Thank you for the stove info!

[@schammond8993]

Always some good information. So many folks don't use or know safety with fire. Here in NW Georgia we got rain without to come on Friday. The ground is saturated and trees have fallen. Stay safe folks. Susan NW Georgia

[@Yellowlabratory]

Your channel is delightful

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

Cows can be like puppies . In fact my sis called 1puppy. Trouble when her son told the teacher he had "puppy burger" for supper. Lol, they investigated because they thought he had been fed dog food . My husband had actually rode a calf like a horse.

[@kathylyon8509]

I love your videos so much! Awesome information. Love your beef cow “Porkchop”! I had a lamb we called Porkchop as well. lol. Stay warm and safe through this crazy weather we are having this week. As always God Bless you both.

[@Greens5511]

Those pine trees look like Christmas trees to me!

[@bonnieisabelle3641]

When we had our wood stove we saved our dryer lint to help start fires. If I were ever able to have a small farm/homestead, all the animals would be pets.

[@christinastambaugh176]

if you mix corn in that that will help keep them warmer in the cold weather

[@tericamcginnis5848]

Great video, thanks! Paid special attention to wood stove. We have one similar at our rec property! 💙😎

[@rachelrichards717]

That storm hit us in eastern Iowa. We have at least a foot of snow from it.

[@SuperKyle309]

800k subs very nice👏

[@sherryrogers7693]

need a couple old christmas tree stands to stand those trees for quail. Walnut is good for grilling Pork too. Be safe through that storm. God Bless

[@dawnstraughen755]

We live in South Lake County in Indiana. We heated our home with our earth stove that runs off of wood. Its in our basement. Heat rises so it has kept us toasty for years. It can get below zero here in the winter. We load the wood through the basement window into A metal bin. We then load it on a cart and wheel it over to our rack by the stove. We like to heat with mostly oak. It burns long and hot. We now have a gas furnace and we have electric baseboards as back ups. Wood heat is the best in my opinion.

[@dorothyallen3614]

I love your homestead and all y’all share with us, much love to all ❤

[@alivewithhemp4989]

I use damp coffee filters and a baking soda paste to easily clean the glass door on my woodburner. Then I use wet coffee filters to wipe off the residue.

[@magnesiafrost1863]

Waddlesville - this is so cool :) 3:00

[@teresadasilva8773]

Such a good idea putting natural branches in the coop, the cows are gorgeous,

[@jodiplock4784]

Interesting video 👍🏼

[@elainepleiman]

I LOVE my firewood tote! A friend gave it to me because she didn't use it anymore. I was so blessed!!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks Kevin and Sarah, great trip around there today and you got the day accomplished and the birds are happier and the cows are wondering. Got thw wood stove working and warming things up, get some warm tea and slippers and set back and watch it snow. Stay safe and hope no severe weather comes your way. Fred.

[@warriorbarbie]

Hi Kevin and Sarah. It would be really cool if you had a quail webcam set up with a link we could watch.

[@FiremanFrach]

It's kind of funny. In 2019 I bought a house that came with a coal stove, and I was searching to see how to use it. That's how I came across your instructional video. Been watching you ever since. Still have the coal stove.

[@lynsmith2698]

Stay warm guys. We are suppose to be going down to -40 tonight and tomorrow night. Great video as usual 🇨🇦🌷

[@tammymarple5347]

Good morning 🙏😊 I absolutely love a wood stove’ it just makes a cold winter day so cozy and warm. We don’t have one in our home but are contemplating getting one . We had one years ago and I really miss it. Love your videos and thank you as always Have a blessed week. 🙏😊

[@debrajohnston1790]

Poor cows,I can hear them saying "that is a bummer".

[@haou132]

Thank you and blessings +++!!!

[@WendyDeLaTorre-dl5lv]

There’s nothing like wood heat. My husband and I live in Wisconsin and wood heat is our only source of heat. I have a cookstove in my kitchen for the days that are not too cold. I love cooking on it. We get a smaller one in the living room for temps below 30° to keep both ends of the house warm and a big one in the basement for when it gets colder than 5°. so the pipes don’t freeze. Which we probably will be using this weekend.

[@nomchompsky2883]

i keep my home at about 63 in the day and 58, sometimes 55 at night... lol it does not take a lot to keep me comfortable. i love it cold.

[@lmd2454]

We had a wood stove just like that about 20 years ago and we loved it!! I would love to have another but out built in woodburning fireplace is nice too. Y'all crack me up though because I would be dying of a heat stroke if the house was 75 lol! I don't even start a fire until it's 60 degrees in the house and I am feeling a little too warm when it's 70. I guess that's the difference between Texas and Missouri.

[@barbsoddznendz1896]

We are looking to move to rural AR this spring and a wood stove is on my must have list!

[@kprairiesun]

You are another one of those women who look so cute in a stocking hat! Both of you do. Not me, lol!!! Your little vehicle is so quiet. Ought to drive into waddlesville, less distance to carry heavy feed. Hope everyone stays warm. Might take quail back into barn. I'm in NW Missouri and our highs are in single digits and below for next several days. Scary for animals. My husband used to take his cows "cake". Some kind of molasses biscuits. Pretty pine trees

[@RenaD787]

Please take us for rides on the ATV! I won’t ever get to really ride. Also let’s go hunting!

[@ianmcfadden4709]

poor cows they make treats for cattle it makes them more tame love your show reminds me of home when i was a youngster in saskatchewan ca
