If you don't already have one, you should install a large ceiling fan to distribute that hot air that will accumulate at the top of that shed. Place a thermometer up near the ceiling after the fire has been burning for a few hours. There will be a big difference in temperature between the ceiling and the floor. Heat rises.

[@shemwayman1146]

I WOULD INSTALL A CEILING FAN ABOVE THE STOVE, QUIET, TAKES ALL THE HEAT OFF OF THE CEILING AND PUTS IT WHERE YOU ARE, I HAVE DONE THIS TO MY TALL CEILING AND IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM.

When you open a stove with a fire in it open it just a crack to allow the chimney to draw the air in before you open the door wide.

Make sure you roll the flap on the shed roof back before you cut the hole for the chimney!

[@paintedblue1791]

Hi just some words of safety from a UK registered competent solid fuel installer. 1 : Get a heat shield behind that stove with a ½” air gap from the wall. 6” wider (each side) and taller than the stove The heat from that stove will char you wood paneling! Metal or other non combustible material. leave a small air gap along the bottom edge. 2 : Use some vermiculite board to box in the flue pipe where it passes through the roof sandwiched between the flashing and your ( now two piece ) roof trim! with a clear space between the boxing in and the twin wall. In the UK twin wall has a G rateing that being the last numbers stating the closest it can be to combustible material. i.e. G50 = no closer than 50mm (yes the EU strikes again!) to anything that burns.

I live in Connecticut, and a wood stove is my only heat for the past 17 years. The power co. don't care about wood stoves. Most people don't want to do the work to use wood. I cut and split all the wood that I use. Even for the person who buys there wood precut and split, don't want to do the work. Stacking, bringing in the house, feeding the stove. On the very cold nights (10 below or colder) you have to feed the stone all night. Cleaning out the stove every few days. Dealing with the ash. Bugs from the wood piles in the house.

We have a similar model. If you pull that catalytic converter handle forward before you open the door you don’t get that puff of smoke out the front of the door.

[@mdocod]

I have a similar model on order (mansfield) with the cat. When I saw that puff of smoke out the door I thought.... NOOOO, I hope my new stove doesn't do that!!! I started looking through the comments to see if anyone else noticed. Very happy to have come across your recommendation! I'm assuming that pulling the handle forward opens the bypass for the cat, so the draft should be stronger and pull the smoke up the chimney when the door is opened.

[@SlideDownSlow]

@@mdocod yes it bypasses the "catalytic converter" system. We also pull the lever forward when you first start the fire. It helps the air flow and lets the fire grow then you close the lever and it reburns the unburnt fuel left in the smoke. You see very little smoke color if any out of the chimney when that system is working.

We just bought a home with a hearthstone h1 wood stove dead center of the house, such a wonderful heat! never has the ol lady wanted the house above 68 but this stove gets the house up to about 77.

[@stephenmccarthy3553]

@@tonyfesta3773 yes, manufacturers specifications are always to be followed. I am curious about what kind of pipe it is. The unregulated status of stove pipe is also a recommendation to be followed by the manufacturer of said pipe... But I have not seen any pipe that nears the back of the heater that would allow unprotected clearance of what this stove appears to be placed in. People get awful upset when you pose a question and they don't really know the answer 🙂 and as stated above, Insurance can also jump in there and say whatever they want. Installation of a completely uncertified unit is 4 ft away from everything in the room with particular allowances for thermal protection underneath the unit as well. It's amazing what can be certified if you have the space, versus lower and lower clearance stoves these days actually being able to get installed as advertised. I'm just speaking as a guy who's going through the certification programs and has installed a number of stoves. I still have a lot to learn and I'm not here to chew anyone out 😂..

Great choice on the wood stove. Propane is fast to heat, fast to turn off(some phases of projects you do NOT want sources of ignition around), and hassle free. It also has zero soul or ritual, and the vent-free ones are very damp. Signed, a guy who went with propane to heat his shop and regrets it.

It is different than a steel stove in that it takes longer to heat up and you shouldn't get the temperature too hot, but I wouldn't trade it. We find it provides such an even comfortable warmth that lasts. Take care and Happy New Year.

I think that stainless piece may be a shelf that hangs on the outside. The fire really looks nice through the glass. We heated with wood for over 13 years in NH and we had a Jotul woodstove. It burned the wood like a cigar from the front to the back and we loved it. Our home was passive solar and we had window quilts on all windows including the slider. When it was windy, the quilt over the slider would get sucked right up against it. When sunny, the sun heated the entire house with the quilts up and then when you lowered them down, you could feel the heat of the house increase. That's how air tight they were. We also had our stove inside a brick enclosure and we stored wood in the compartment to the left of the stove. There was a brick wall separating that storage compartment from the woodstove compartment. I built a wooden divider in the storage compartment so we burned the wood on one side of the divider per week and our wood was always dry because it had a week to dry. We only had one issue with an ant nest in a piece of wood so when that wood heated up, a ton of ants woke up and were crawling all over. No fun that day. Our walls in that house were 1 foot thick. We only burned just over 1 full cord of wood per winter in NH. John from MI

It's allowable in the US, you can buy platforms specifically for lifting personell with a fork truck.

[@usm-4kagnew165]

Those regulations only apply to occupational work sites. They do not apply to private individuals working on their own property.

[@momouppa]

@@usm-4kagnew165 of course

[@jackfrost3596]

i'm so happy for you'll have a warm stove in your building now and Jack is really growing up, it's nice to see that you all are doing good God Bless

[@hookedonwood5830]

You should get one of those heat powered stow fan's on that stow to direct some heat to where you are working.

[@nick4819]

Those forks should not come down of you lose hydraulic pressure. Nor should it fall at free fall speed. The fluid is pressurized and is controlled by a valve. You can turn the forklift off once you are at height and it will sit there until a seal gives away somewhere and you start losing pressure. But no, the pump does not continually hold the forks up and in place.

That Pile of wood is expencive in the UK , its cheaper to get a female escort to keep you warm

[@TomatoWithARifle]

right. its crazy how inefficient burning wood for heat is.... it goes so fast

[@RickyHarline]

@@TomatoWithARifle it costs me $200/month to heat my home with space heaters but $200 in wood keeps me warm for the winter. It's inefficient in heat for mass burned, but can't be beat for cost!

[@TomatoWithARifle]

Entirely depends on woods costs of course.... Some people have free wood in their backyard.... However the small times I stay at a place with a fireplace, we end up going through multiple $10 bundles in a day.... Granted I'm buying from a convenience store so I'm not getting the best prices

[@RickyHarline]

@@TomatoWithARifle yeah, convenience store firewood is silly expensive. Here in the US a cord of hardwood goes for $250-400, and it's hard to say what convenience store firewood would cost in that amount, but it would many, many times that amount

[@aericraadley]

perfect placement i like it in the corner by the door it definitely makes it much more inviting and the crackling of the fire makes the winter season that much more enjoyable

[@wobblysauce]

... is worried that a hose could burst and lose pressure, but is fine with no brakes.

[@ronaragon748]

Yes, soapstone is the answer. It keeps the heat in the stove and radiating heat much longer than just plain metal wood stoves that cool down as soon as any heat inside dwindles or stops altogether. But, even with a great soap stone wood stove, the damper has to be closed down as much as possible to make the fuel last longer by preventing the wood from burning up too fast by allowing too much air flow. The heat will stay inside longer and not just rush up through the vent pipe. And, with the soap stone to help retain the heat by absorbing it instead of allowing it to escape right through the metal walls, you won't have to keep opening the stove over and over to keep adding wood, because it keeps burning up completely and much too quickly up and shooting as mentioned before right up the vent pipe without really creating any long lasting heat for the living space.

[@mikeb.2166]

I don't get why power companies should far this stove - it seems as good as any modern stove. What should be feared is the environmentalists wanting to outlaw wood stoves.

[@JOECorsoNova]

I think it was a play on words, they would fear the stove because he won’t be spending money on propane or oil.

[@dalebannon8503]

@joe 73 ...or on electricity. That is the big deal with this stove. This stove requires NO electrically driven fan.

[@quincyjohnson8579]

I’ve been following your channel for awhile now, I’m a truck driver from Ontario, Canada. I love the content! Love the shop and what you’re doing with it!

[@DoubleDogDare54]

You put it right up against a wood wall??? Not fond of soapstone stoves. You waste a lot of heat heating the stone up before you actually get that heat yourself. I'll take cast iron where it heats up quickly and throws tons of heat out instead of having it heat up the interior of the stove then giving you what's left over. I also prefer an ash drawer.

[@ciphercode2298]

Especially in a shop. He'll work in there for 4 hours before it warms up. He would've been better off keeping his old double barrel stove.

[@dutchglobetrotter4513]

My granddad used to put a block of oak on his fire in the wood shop, just before he went to bed. In the morning he just had to chunk a few blocks of firewood on the embers and start working.

[@upnorthof60]

Happy New Year all!

[@tcswag801]

Awesome setup Cody . I've been trying to get my son (16) involved with more of the hands in stuff (car maintenance/home repairs etc..) He's a multi sport athlete and into his studies but im still trying to find time to keep him working and learning .

[@alexbennett3515]

Not gonna lie. Kinda with you were my dad😂😂 what a good life your kids have I’m 21 btw pass this on to your son. Hell appreciate all you’re teaching him

[@JeremyThompson21]

These are the type of videos that got me to subscribe so many years ago. Glad to see them come back.

[@CarsonAdams44]

Wasn’t there a gas or some type of heater already in there? I thought I saw one when you guys moved in. Either way wood is nicer to have. Great job!

[@wranglerstar]

None,

[@wyojim3994]

Nice to see Jack working in the shop again.
